CARRYING SYSTEM
PIEPS recommends using the included hardcase-carrying system (3A). In order to protect the beacon’s display, carry the beacon with its display facing inwards (3B).
- SWITCHING ON | SELF-CHECK | SEND MODE Press the slider lock (1C) and move the slider (1B) upwards into the position SEARCH. Then release the slider lock (1C) and move the slider (1B) downwards, until it locks in the position SEND. The display shows firmware version, battery capacity, self-check progress (4A), self-check result (4B), group check countdown (4C) and finally the send display with the active transmit-ting antenna (4D). The device is now in send mode, the transmit control LED (1G) is blinking.
- SEND SEARCH Press the slider lock (1C) and move the slider (1B) upwards in the position SEARCH.
- SEARCH SEND Move the slider (1B) downwards, until it locks in the position SEND.
- SEARCH MODE | SEARCH STRATEGY
- SIGNAL SEARCH (5A) Walk the search strip width in the search area quickly. The recommended search strip width for the PIEPS DSP SPORT is 50 m. The display shows “no signal” (5A1).
- COARSE SEARCH (5B) As soon as a signal is received, follow the direction indication quickly and see if the distance reading goes down. If the distance reading increases, change your direction by 180°.
- (5B1) go left
- (5B2) go straight ahead
- (5B3) go right
- FINE SEARCH (5C) The direction arrow disappears at a distance reading of 2 m. Look for the point of the lowest distance reading. Work slowly and on the surface of the snow.
- PINPOINTING (5D) Check the search result by systematic probing. On a hit, leave the probe stuck.
- MULTIPLE BURIAL (5E) A multiple burials is indicated clearly on the display by the number of small human figures (2G, 2H). Marking is possible from a distance reading of 5 m. Press the MARK button (1D) briefly to “hide” the localized transmitter. A successful flagging is confirmed by a frame around the human figure (2J). The display then indicates the direction/distance to the next strongest signal inside the receiving range.
GROUP CHECK
Despite a comprehensive self-check, a beacon check (transmit check and receive check) is obligatory prior to every tour! The PIEPS DSP SPORT provides the group check function. In group check mode the receiving range is limited to 1 m.
- Start Press and hold the button MARK (1D) during the group check countdown (CH)
- End Release button
SECONDARY AVALANCHE | AUTO-SEARCH-TO-SEND The PIEPS DSP SPORT provides the feature Auto-Search-to-Send. By default, it is disabled. Once enabled, the device switches from search mode to send mode automatically after a certain time without motion (burial).

battery compartment (1H) and be sure to insert the new batteries the right way
around. For battery disposal, follow the applica-ble regulations in your
country.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interfer-ence received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residual installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer-ence to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or trans-mitter. This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that are deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption ratio (SAR).
Canada: IC Notice This device complies with Industry Canada’s license- exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference; and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that are deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption ratio (SAR).
