TRANSMITTING, RECEIVING, SWITCHING BACK TO TRANSMIT
Transmitting:
After switching on the
device the display test
appears in the display
window (10). Available
battery capacity is
shown in % (99-01) for
10 seconds.
When the remaining
capacity drops to 10%
the battery display will
flash in the display wind-
ow. Afterwards the dis-
play will shut-off to con-
serve battery power.
(When 10% residual
battery capacity is dis-
played it is time to
replace the batteries.)
The transmit/control
light (7) will also flash.
Now the device is ready
to operate and it is
transmitting. The trans-
mit function can be
checked with a second
avalanche transceiver
that is set to receive.

For a few seconds "CH"
(=CHeck) will be display-
ed. During this time the
d3 checks the display
functions and determi-
nes the optimal receive
mode. After "CH" disap-
pears the d3 is ready
for searching. Uninten-
tional switch-over to
transmit mode is not
possible.

Now set a second device
to transmit mode (5).
After the d3 switches
over to receive, you will
hear the signal of the
transmitter; in the dis-
play you can read the
distance to the trans-
mitter, and the three
direction arrows indicate
the search direction.
The transmission con-
trol light is switched off
in receive mode.
Switching back to
transmit/emergency
changeover to transmit:
To return to transmit
mode (5), push the
locking and emergency
switch (6) to the right.
The quick switch to
receive mode (11) will
automatically return to
the locked transmit
position (5).
