The new S1+ combines the success stories of two unique transceiver innovations: the display of the relative location of avalanche victims & the SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY!  Handling the device is more intuitive than ever. Once switched on, it transmits, but when opened up it switches straight to search mode. The illuminated 360° real-time display shows the position in the avalanche & gives unmistakable action instructions. As soon as the person searching begins the pinpoint search, the patented circular display & intuitive search acoustics help the location process. Located victims can now be flagged & the search can continue. Follow-up avalanche switchover & SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY provide a safety plus for the user, while the economic power management protects the environment & your wallet
- just two batteries are sufficient for 250 hours in transmission mode. Of course the device can be updated. BEST POSSIBLE PROTECTION Transmission mode Thereby the S1+ works incredibly easily & intuitively! It is turned on by the side safety switch. A standardized self-test runs automatically. All 3 antennas are checked for transmission & receiving functions, as well as for the battery status & the sensor. Then the device immediately switches to transmission mode. During the transmission mode, the transmitter is also constantly monitored & issues immediate notification when there is a malfunction.  Smart-Antenna-Technology  In the worst case of a burial, how well & quickly you will be found by your companions depends on your location in the avalanche. This is called a coupling position. An axial coupling position is optimal
- when your transmitter has the longest range. A vertical position is bad, since the range collapses by about 52%. In this situation, the S1+ uses the patented SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY. It analyzes the position of the antennas & automatically switches to the best transmitting antenna. The result: you get 43% more range than with all other devices on the market (with the exception of 3+), entirely independent of the search device of your companion! 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 & rescue teams around the world. SIMPLICITY Search mode  An avalanche is an absolute stress situation, in which holding your nerves & focused action are what that pays off. To make the search situation as simple as possible, the S1+ need only be flipped open in order to enter the locating mode. Neither keys nor buttons need to be pressed
- simple snap open is enough & the digital device scans the avalanche cone automatically.  The large, illuminated 360° real-time display gives you detailed instructions on what you have to do. First, you will get the prompt to go in a meandering manner around the avalanche cone, until you receive an initial signal. The search strip width amounts to 50 m for the S1+. You will receive an initial signal even at a distance of 55 m to the victim.  The relative position of the victim is immediately indicated in the display. Bearing lines, direction arrow & distance information lead you along the fastest route to the strongest transmission signal. From a distance of 4 meters, you are supported in the detection by a patented circular & trend indicator as well as the intuitive search acoustics. Once youve found the shortest distance to the victim, you can mark it. The victim appears in the display as located & you can (in the case of a multiple burial) continue with the search. The relative positions of up to 4 buried victims are directly sh

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 & 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 & the switch between transmitting & searching. Distances, directional arrows & information about several avalanche victims guide you in the quickest 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 & 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 & 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 & additional protection. We have secured the ZOOM from being lost with an elastic hand strap & 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 & 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 & 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 & provides additional protection. To prevent loss, weve given the ZOOM+ an elastic hand loop & 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 & if there is more than one victim. Large LEDs are easy to read especially in poor visibility conditions & at night. The visual search mode is supported by intuitive search ac oustics. Higher & 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 & 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 & 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) & constantly monitored wh ...
