Reasons the product is recalled
The recalled transceivers may not switch from SEND mode into SEARCH mode.
The hazards to consumers
If the transceiver is not in SEARCH mode, the device will not be able to locate a skier in an avalanche, which could result in severe injuries or death if the skier is buried under snow.
What consumers should do
Consumers should immediately cease using their transceiver and check the SEND and SEARCH functions:
To do this, consumers should:
1) Move the slider lock to the left and the mode slider upwards in the position SEARCH.
2) Make sure the SEARCH symbol (- -) appears on the display
3) Move the slider downwards, until it locks in position SEND
4) Make sure the SEND symbol (X) appears on the display
5) Move the slider lock to the left and the mode slider downwards in the position OFF.
6) Make sure that the beacon is turned off.
