S1+S1+SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGIE

die ortovox-geräte haBen

3 antennen (x, y, z) an Board

Bei der Suche kommen alle  Antennen zum Einsatz. Für die Anzeige

der Entfernung und der Laufrichtung dienen die x- und y-Antenne. Die

z-Antenne wird ausschließlich für die Feinsuche benötigt.

Die ORTOVOX Geräte S1+, 3+und zoom+können als einzige Geräte

auf dem Markt die Position der Antennen analysieren mit der Smart-

Antenna-Technologie Sowohl üBer die x-alS auch üBer die

y-antenne Senden.

Dadurch erhöht sich die Sendereichweite des Verschüttenen

enorm (bis zu doppelt) und wird dadurch wesentlich besser gefunden

(verBeSSerte SichtBarkeit)

vertikale poSition ohne Smart-antenna

=Schlechte SichtBarkeit

Eine vertikal ausgerichtete Sendeantenne (x-Antenne) strahlt nur

vertikal aus und verursacht eine schlechte Sichtbarkeit durch minimale

Flächenabdeckung (Reichweite) im Suchbereich. Ein vertikaler Sender

ohne Smart-antenna ist daher Schwerer zu finden.

vertikale poSition mit Smart-antenna

=Sehr gute SichtBarkeit

Die patentierte Smart-antenna-technologie löst das Problem

der schlechten Sichtbarkeit der vertikalen Position. Der Lagesensor

analysiert die Position des Gerätes in der Lawine und Schaltet

automatiSch auf die y-antenne um. Dadurch sendet die Antenne

wieder horizontal und vergrößert die Flächenabdeckung annäherend

auf maximale Reichweite.

+SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY

THE ORTOVOX DEVICES HAVE

THREE ANTENNAS (X, Y, AND Z)

All three antennas are used during SEARCHES. The x and

y antennas are used to display the distance and the direction

of movement. The z antenna is solely used for the ﬁne search.

The ORTOVOX device S+, +and ZOOM+are the only devices

on the market that can analyze the position of the antennas using

smart antenna technology and TRANSMIT VIA BOTH THE X AND

THE Y ANTENNA.

This vastly increases (UP TO DOUBLES) the victim’s transmission

range, making him or her far easier to ﬁnd (IMPROVED VISIBILITY).

VERTICAL POSITION WITHOUT SMART-ANTENNA

=poor visibility

A vertically positioned transmitter antenna (x antenna) only emits a

signal vertically and results in poor visibility due to minimum area

coverage (range) in the search area. A vertical TRANSMITTER WITHOUT

A SMART ANTENNA is therefore MORE DIFFICULT TO LOCATE.

VERTICAL POSITION WITH SMART-ANTENNA

=very good visibility

The PATENTED SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY resolves this

problem of poor visibility in the vertical position. The position sensor

analyzes the device’s position in the avalanche and AUTOMATICALLY

SWITCHES TO THE Y-ANTENNA. As a result, the antenna once again

transmits horizontally and expands the area coverage to almost the

maximum range, making it easier to locate victims in less time.

+MANUAL

SMART AND EASY

With the +you are in charge! The PATENTED

SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY™ with intelli-

gent position recognition automatically switches

to the best transmission antenna. YOU WILL BE

FOUND EASIER. We make no compromises in

terms of searching either. The +is equipped

with all the features of a modern, digital -an-

tenna device.The ILLUMINATED REAL-TIME

DISPLAY tells you the direction, distance and

number of victims. The PATENTED CIRCULAR

DISPLAY, combined with the INTUITIVE

SEARCH ACOUSTICS, leaves no doubt when

operating in ﬁne search mode. Once located,

victims can be removed from the display using

the ﬂagging function. The motion-sensor-based

FOLLOW-UP AVALANCHE SWITCHOVER ensu-

res additional safety. We have also thought

about the future: the + can be UPDATED and

protects the environment with just a single

battery.

nions, accident prevention and the latest safety

In doing so, your warranty period

will extend from two to ﬁve years

from the date of purchase.

If you opt in, we will regularly inform you about

dates can be found at: www.ortovox.com/update

Avalanche transceivers are designed

to support the assistance oered

by companions in the event of

avalanche burial.

Your presence in areas where

avalanche hazards exist is fraught

with potential risk. The eective

use of an avalanche transceiver

requires appropriate training and

constant practice.

ORTOVOX strongly recommends

that you carefully read the operating

instructions provided with the

avalanche transceiver and take

the appropriate avalanche educa-

tion courses.

In addition, always take a shovel

and a probe when you go o-piste

in areas where avalanche hazards

exist, and never head out alone.

Plan your o-piste activities using

the current avalanche report at:

www.ortovox.com

Before you enter an area at risk of

an avalanche, you should make sure

that all avalanche transceivers are

working properly and all batteries

are in good condition.

The + fulﬁlls the maximum safety

requirements and is characterized

by its simple operation!

INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO CARRY THE DEVICE

IMPORTANT NOTICE

People with pacemakers should wear the +on the right

side of their body. It is essential to observe the pacemaker

manufacturer’s instructions!

The +is carried close to your body in the

comfort carrier bag () and should always

be covered by at least one layer of clothing.

In warmer temperatures, the +can also

be carried in a zippered pant pocket (not

in sewn-on pockets).

In TRANSMISSION MODE,

no electronic devices

(wireless devices, mobile

phones, other avalanche

transceivers) or other metal objects

should be located in the immediate

vicinity (within a few centimeters).

In SEARCH MODE other electronic

devices should be switched o

or carried at a distance of at least

 cm away.

Interference can also be caused

by approaching storms, lifts and

power systems.

SWITCHING ON

Turn the ON/OFF switch () counter-

clockwise. The rotary switch clicks into

the position “I” and is now secured against

being unintention-ally switched o.

SWITCHING OFF

Undo the unlocking slide () and

turn the ON/OFF switch () clockwise

to the position “O”.

INITIAL USE

INSTRUCTIONS

After switching on the +, the -digit

serial number appears.

The automatic self-test begins with the

display check.

The transmitter, receiver, smart antenna,

and sensors are then tested.

The remaining battery capacity is also

displayed as a percentage (e.g. “”).

For further information about the battery, see p. 

The installed software version then follows

(e.g. “.”).
