4.3.1 Search for a Single Buried Subject
Using the Search Mode
Coarse Search
If the distance to the buried subject is less than
approx. 60 meters, the distance and direction are
displayed.
Interpretation of the Distance Indication
The distance indication shows the longest possible
distance to the buried subject in meters. The buried
subject may be much closer, but never ever further
apart from the rescuer.
The distance can never be determined exactly. It is
important whether the numbers are increasing or
decreasing. The closer you are to the transmitting
device, the more precise the indicated distance is.
Practical Search Instructions
Hold the transceiver horizontally in front of you
and proceed in the direction indicated by the
arrow. If the distance increases, you are moving
away from the victim. Continue the search in the
opposite direction. The transceiver will lead you to
the buried subject quickly and reliably.
Do not move backwards, otherwise the direction
indication will be incorrect.
Start the search at a high speed and reduce your
speed as you close in on the buried subject. Oper-
ate the transceiver in a quiet and concentrated
manner - avoid rapid movements. This way, you will
reach the objective in the quickest and easiest
manner!
