practicing the activation of the air-bag.
a In order to avoid an unwanted or inadvertent
activation where other people could be harmed
by such an accidental activation, it is
recommended that you secure the trigger handle
with the velcro cover, especially on chairlifts,
in gondolas, in or around a helicopter, the bus,
train, automobile, etc.
a the ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system does not
replace conventional avalanche rescue
equipment: transceivers, shovels and probes
should always be taken on off-piste tours.

clean all time. in case of a spoiled inflator
system, the function of the airbag system is not
granted.

electrical and magnetic influences. to mitigate
any interference, carry the beacon on the front

between the alpride E2 compressor and the
beacon.
