Disclaimer:
No avalanche beacon can save lives without a fully trained user. Practice
frequently with your Tracker3 before going into the backcountry. Learn
and understand the inherent dangers of backcountry travel. Become
educated in avalanche hazard evaluation, route selection, and self-rescue.
In addition to your beacon, always carry a probe and shovel—and always
travel with a partner. We also recommend the use of avalanche airbags
and group communication devices, such as two-way radios.
Make sure all rescue equipment is functioning properly before venturing
into the backcountry. Perform a beacon trailhead test every time you use
your Tracker3. Check that all transceivers transmit and receive properly—
and that all receive a signal at a minimum distance of 20 meters.
Do not place cellular phones, communication radios, GPS devices, digital
cameras, or any other electronic equipment within 16" (40 cm) of Tracker3
while performing a transceiver search. In receive mode, irregular readings,
decreased range and multiple burial indications can be caused by these
and other sources of electrical interference, such as power lines, electrical
storms, and electrical generating equipment. In transmit mode, keep
Tracker3 at least 1" (2.5 cm) from other electronic equipment. Use only
alkaline batteries of identical age and brand. Do not use rechargeable,
lithium, Oxyride, PowerPix, or any other non-alkaline battery.
This owner's manual covers the basic techniques required to use
Tracker3 effectively. To increase your efficiency, order our training
DVD's and refer to the Advanced Tracker3 Manual on our website:
www.backcountryaccess.com. Here you will also find important
resources for obtaining avalanche education and updates on regional
avalanche conditions.
