Overwhelmed by the technical information on BeaconReviews.com? Relax! Here is the basic information you
need to know:
- Buy a good transceiver (read the
transceiver summary).
- Understand the basics
of how avalanche transceivers help you survive.
- To find a buried victim, switch your digital transceiver
to Search and follow the direction indicator until
the shortest distance is displayed. (Read the details.)
- When you reach the shortest distance,
probe to locate the victim. Then dig with your
shovel.
- Take an avalanche class. Practice at least monthly throughout
the winter. Make sure your partners practice, too!
