Batteries, Handling and Maintenance
Only use alkaline (LR03/AAA) batteries or
lithium (LR92/AAA) batteries of the same type.
Never use rechargea le atteries and al-
ways replace all the batteries at the same
time. When storing or not using the transceiver
for an extended period of time (summer), re-
move the batteries. Lithium batteries do not
need to be removed. When reinserting the bat-
teries, use the same 3 batteries or 3 new bat-
teries.
Handle your
Barryvox with
care. Do not
drop it on the
ground and
avoid me-
chanical
shocks.
Avoid having other electronic devices (e.g.
mobile phones, radios, headlamps, cameras),
metal o jects (pocket knives, magnetic but-
tons), or other transceivers close to your run-
ning avalanche transceiver.
To ensure the proper performance of the trans-
ceiver, it is highly recommended that you send
your device to an official Barryvox service cen-
ter once every three years for a functional
test. The recommended date of the next check
can be viewed under «Maintenance» in the
start menu.

Carrying System and Carrying Positions
Regardless of the carrying position, the dis-
play should always face your body!
Chest Harness (recommended carrying system)
This carrying system should be worn over
your clothing base layer (see illustration on
the base plate of the harness) for the duration
of the trip. The transceiver should always
e covered y at least one layer of cloth-
ing. The device itself slips into the harness
with the display hidden and the mode switch
on top (per the illustration). t should always
be anchored to the harness using the red
hook on the wrist loop.
Carrying the Transceiver in a Pocket
(without vital data detection)
f you carry the Barryvox in a pant pocket the
pocket must be zipped closed AND the wrist
loop clipped to a belt loop or secured with a
belt running through the loop.
