detects him correctly. The operation to be conducted in reverse so that ALL transceivers in the group are
checked in both transmission and reception modes.
Possible anomalies...
The ARVA Evo3 conducts a self-test every five minutes to check the status of the batteries, the locking onto the
frequency, transmission power, etc.
If the device detects an anomaly, a long 5-second beep will be heard, 3 times separated by 5 minutes.
Two cases are possible:
• The capacity of the batteries has dropped to 20% (the device can still transmit for 48 hours or search for 1⁄2
hour). After the long 5-second beeps, 20% will remain lit on the LCD display to remind you to change the
batteries as quickly as possible.
• Technical transmission or program problems, after the long 5-second beeps, the LCD screen displays
