Description

The EVO4 needs no introduction! This device performs well in the hands of both new and experienced backcountry enthusiasts who are looking for an easy-to-use avalanche transceiver.

The EVO story continues with the brand new EVO4. Thanks to a new design, a true-marking function and a new LCD screen, this well-known device is getting an overhaul; it is better and more efficient than ever before. Pulling features from the innovations of the NEO, the new EVO4 display is more intuitive and allows you to quickly identify the number of victims involved in a search. Rounding out the features with a group–check function and the classic CLIP FOR SAFE system, this beacon is an affordable no-brainer for snow enthusiasts entering the backcountry.

Warning: Holster sold separately

GROUP CHECK
The group-check function allows you to easily verify if every member of your group has their beacon in transmit mode. The group-check function enables the device to conduct a fine search, allowing you to individually check the members of your group at a one-meter distance.

MARKING FUNCTION
Once a victim is found, the mark function allows you to ignore their signal to focus on searching for other victims. The «marked» victim’s signal is no longer indicated during the rest of the search.

CLIP FOR SAFE CONCEPT
As soon as you put your transceiver on and clip the strap, it automatically activates and starts transmitting. This easy and convenient way to ensure that your device is in transmit mode increases everyone’s safety when heading into the backcountry or off-piste.

FAQ's

How to ensure quick success with an avalanche transceiver?
Carefully read the user’s manual. Familiarize yourself with the use of the ARVA transceiver before you enter the backcountry and practice in the field. Take an avalanche safety course. Do not hesitate to ask a mountain professional or a training center (ENSA, ANENA, CAF, FFME, FFS). Many ski resorts are equipped with an avalanche training park. Ask the local tourist office or ski patrol (training parks are compatible with all the transceivers on the market).

Does the battery power influence the unit performance?
For analog devices, the range is directly linked to battery power. Read the user’s manual carefully. For digital devices, the emitting power level and search range is independent of battery power until a battery reaches below a battery level recommended by the manufacturer. When your batteries reach below the lower limit, your beacon warns you with a visual and sound indication. On all our beacons, we warranty 100% emitting power until your batteries drop below 20%. IMPORTANT: do not use rechargeable batteries, because they have a sudden capacity loss. We recommend alkaline batteries that are provided with the unit (we recommend you carry 4 spare batteries).

Is the indicated number of buried victims reliable?
If there are more than 2 victims, consider that the calculated number of burials displayed is uncertain as long as all the found devices are not switched off. During the search, signals may overlap or some interference may disturb the signals. This is why, the “multiple burials” icon does not appear always immediately. It may even happen that this icon does not appear at all. This is why, you must check the entire avalanche path.

Are all brands of transceivers compatible?
Yes all transceiver devices that operate on a frequency of 457 kHz are compatible.
