Intro

No updates to the first ever avalanche transceiver with integrated voice navigation, launched by Ortovox a few years ago. It remains a very efficient device; through clear, understandable instructions it speeds up the search by correcting you if you move in the wrong direction, and helps you to stay calm—much like an AED. It's sleek and compact, with user-friendly buttons, a smart antenna, and large, easy-to-read screen. Intuitive and easy to use, rechargeable. Important: It may have voice navigation, but you still need to know how to use your device before taking it out.
