dEA R WInTE R S P O RTS En THuSIA ST!
Congratulations on having purchased a PIEPS DSP/DSP Tour.
The PIEPS DSP/DSP Tour is a digital 3-antenna transceiver for easiest use in a companion rescue.
Equipped with DSP technology (digital signal processing) and a triple-antenna-system, the
PIEPS DSP/DSP Tour not only offers a maximum circular range, but also simpliies the rescue,
especially in case of multiple burials.
IMPORTAnT! A transceiver cannot protect you against avalanches! A close study of avalanche
prevention techniques is equally essential as is regular practicing for the event of an avalanche
rescue. The procedures and instructions described refer solely to speciic applications in connection
with PIEPS DSP/DSP Tour. The basic rules of conduct in case of an emergency – as deined in the
relevant specialist publications and in training sessions – must be observed without fail.

SWIT CHInG On | SEL FCHECK
Press the main switch lock and push the main switch to the position „SEND" or „SEARCH". The
PIEPS DSP/DSP Tour is now in send- or search-mode.
During power-on the PIEPS DSP/DSP Tour will carry out a unique self-check lasting approx. 5
seconds. The transmitting frequency, all antennas, ampliiers and processors are tested and the
latest irmware is displayed. During the self-check a minimum distance of 5 meters to other
beacons and electronic and magnetic interferences should be maintained.
In the event of a device warning, an alert signal sounds and the display indicates „E" in
combination with a warning-code (overview table in chapter warning-codes). If the warnings
are still shown in an interference-free area the PIEPS DSP/DSP Tour is not fully functional. Bring
your PIEPS DSP/DSP Tour to an authorized service center.
IMPORTAnT!
Additional to the complex self-check the beacon-group-check is strongly recommended before each
tour!

Press the main switch lock and push the main switch to the „SEND"
position. The display indicates the send-symbol and the remaining
battery capacity in %. Additionally an LED indicator light lashes
simultaneous with the transmitter bit timing.
When you are on tour, make sure the „SEND" mode is selected
throughout. The PIEPS DSP/DSP Tour will transmit a continuously
deined signal, that can be picked up from all other beacons
(according EN300718).
