The Arva Evo5 Avalanche Transceiver offers top - notch performance in a tiny package. It's an ideal choice for both regular and occasional users, making avalanche searches a breeze. This latest addition to Arva's transceiver line showcases 35 years of expertise. The R&D team has pushed the boundaries of the size - performance ratio, crafting a device that fits snugly in your snow pants pocket. With a 50m search strip width, group check, mark function, and automatic revert - to - transmit mode, it has all the essential features for rescuing avalanche victims. The backlit screen and a speaker with a precise, modulated beep efficiently guide you to the burial area. Design and ergonomics were prioritized from the start. A 3 - position slider, an extra - large screen, and a central marking button ensure easy operation during a search. The EVO5 is the smallest DVA from Arva, just 11cm high and 7cm wide, weighing only 170g. It won't burden you but still performs great in emergencies. It comes with a carrying strap and a leash, and a holster is available as an option. The 50m search bandwidth helps cover a larger area, and the interference management feature maximizes performance in electromagnetic - noisy environments, which can be turned off by the user. In case of a secondary avalanche, the automatic switch - back - to - emission function activates either by a timer after user inactivity or a motion detector when the device doesn't move. Other features include digital signal processing, multiple burial indicators, auto - test, U - Turn alarm, etc. Despite its small size, it packs a powerful punch, offering high - end functions for increased safety and ease of use.
Using the Arva Evo5 Avalanche Transceiver is quite straightforward. First, make sure the device is fully charged or has fresh batteries. You can use the group check function to test the transmit frequency and power before you head out into the snow. When in search mode, use the 3 - position slider to operate it. The large screen will show you important information, and you can use the central marking button to mark potential locations. The 50m search bandwidth allows you to cover a wide area. If you encounter electromagnetic interference, the device will manage it automatically, but you can turn this feature off if you want. In case of a secondary avalanche, the device will switch back to transmit mode either after a period of inactivity or when it stops moving. As for maintenance, keep it dry and clean. Avoid dropping it or exposing it to extreme temperatures. Check the batteries regularly and replace them as needed. Remember, the holster is sold separately.
