Ortovox 2014 Zoom Avalanche Transceiver Blue

Design meets function. The new Zoom stands for the latest 3-antenna technology, packaged in an intuitive, contemporary design. The ZOOM+ combines the simplest handling with the latest technology and the most advanced design. Reduced to two functional buttons, the ZOOM+ concentrates on intuitive usability. The focus on the clearly designed LED-display is on the on / off switches and the switch between transmitting and searching. Distances, directional arrows and information about several avalanche victims guide you in the fastest way to the refined search area, with the intuitive search acoustics making victims easier to locate. Equipped with the patented SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY, avalanche victims are found much better with the ZOOM+. The device analyzes its position in the avalanche
and automatically switches to the best transimission antenna. The latest digital 3-antenna technology is taken for granted at ORTOVOX just as much as the aut omatic switch over in case of a follow-up avalanche. BEST POSSIBLE PROTECTION Intuitive design We designed the ZOOM+ for ease of use. Just two buttons make operating errors practically impossible. Once switched on, it is possible to switch between transmission and search mode using the safety switchover button. Subsequent search instructions are given on the large LED-display. An all-round soft rubber ring guarantees easy handling and additional protection. We have secured the ZOOM from being lost with an elastic hand strap and a comfortable bag. Recco For maximum protection, weve also equipped the S1+ with a Recco reflector. Recco
helps professional rescuers find victims buried in the snow even faster. The backup technology is used by more than 700 ski areas and rescue teams around the world. SIMPLICITY Weve slimmed down the ZOOM+ to its most important elements. With only two buttons, faulty operation is virtually impossible. Once switched on, the user can switch between sending and searching modes using the safety switch. Further search instructions are then displayed on the large LED. A soft rubber ring around the outside of the device ensures easy handling and provides additional protection. To prevent loss, weve given the ZOOM+ an elastic hand loop and practical carrying case. Visual + acoustic search The ZOOM+ focuses the person searching on the large display in the middle of the device. LEDs are used to
show the distance to the victim, the direction using arrows and if there is more than one victim. Large LEDs are easy to read especially in poor visibility conditions and at night. The visual search mode is supported by intuitive search ac oustics. Higher and fast sounds tell you that you are approaching the avalanche victim. Smart-Antenna Technology The integrated smart-antenna-technology analyzes the position of the antennas in the avalanche and automatically switches to the best transmission antenna. The result: Almost double the range in the worst coupling position, regardless of the beacon used for searching.The patented Smart Antenna Technology is compatible with all avalanche transceivers, in other words regardless of which device the person searching is using. Switch over in
case of a follow-up avalanche The ZOOM+ is equipped with the latest, digital 3-antenna technology and with a motion sensor. This is required for switching over in case of a follow-up avalanche. If the transmitter registers no movement for more than 120 seconds while searching, it automatically switches back to transmission mode. Rescuers are thereby protected from follow-up avalanches at all times. Technology The ZOOMs complete electronics are checked when it is turned on (self test) and constantly monitored wh
