S ECO ndARY AVA LAn C HE | AuTO-SEARCH-TO -SE nd
A secondary avalanche is an avalanche that occurs during a rescue situation. In this case, the
avalanche transceiver of the rescuer is switching immediately to SEND mode, if the device is
in SEARCH mode.
Slide the main switch of the PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT from SEARCH to SEND without
pressing the lock button. The main switch is engaged in SEND mode. Store the device and hold
it firmly against the body.
The function Auto-Search-to-Send switches the PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT automatically from
SEARCH- into SEND-mode. The switching of the PIEPS DSP PRO is based on non-movement
and time, at the PIEPS DSP SPORT only on time.
By default, this function is disabled! The activation of the function „Auto-Search-to-Send" is
carried out by all PIEPS competence partners (PIEPS Service Center). Find more information at
www.pieps.com.
PIEPS advises that the function Auto-Search-to-Send does not help, when the rescuer has
lost his/her beacon in the case of a secondary avalanche. Only if a rescuer wears an active
transmitter, the rescuer is properly equipped in the case of a secondary avalanche.
PIEPS BACKuP: pIEpS recommends to deactivate the auto-
search-to-send function in every beacon and instead use an
emergency transmitter such as the PiePs BaCkuP.
The PIEPS BACKUP is a mini emergency-transmitter (frequency 457
kHz) that is worn in addition to a beacon directly on the body and only
starts to transmit in case of an emergency. So PIEPS provides the first
100% solution for being located in the case of a possible secondary
avalanche!
The PIEPS BACKUP can be received with every standard beacon!
Active search operations are never influenced!

Press the SCAN button while in the SEARCH-mode. The PIEPS DSP PRO will begin scanning
the entire receiving range. During the scan, stand still and hold the device steady. This will give
you an overview of all buried devices within the detectable range, classified according to three
groups:
reading 1: Number of beacons within a distance of approx. 5 m
reading 2: Number of beacons within a distance of approx. 20 m
reading 3: Number of beacons within a distance of approx. 50 m
All information from previously
suppressed (MARKED) signals
will be reset and you can start the
suppression again (MARK) or follow
the direction indication to the next
strongest signal.
Press the button SCAN again to stop
the SCAN function.
IMPORTAnT! Once you have
located all burials, move away from
their locations in a star shape and
use the SCAN function to check the

make sure you haven't missed any
other burials. 3
