This analyses the position of the 3+'s three antennas and automatically identifies the optimal transmission antenna. The circular precise real time display screen clearly indicates the position and distance to the buried victim (also the battery capacity and consumption) with directional arrows enabling you proceed in the right direction. The precision and accuracy of this device efficiently reduces labour time enabling maximum efficiency to locate the buried victim. There is also a large safety switch-back to transmit mode button in case of a follow-up avalanche scenario. The 3+ is also ideal for multiple burials with an overview and number of victims displayed. After retrieving a victim, there is an option to blend out their signal with the pin key (the 3+ then shows that victim as pinned) allowing you to move on to rescue the remaining people. Durable ergonomic rubberized housing safely protects the transceiver from the elements, while the light display and optimized acoustics make searching at night easier. The 3+ is accompanied by a choice of two colours and a bag with an elastic cord for practicality and convenience.

Features: 3+ Smart Antenna The 3+ has a position sensor, which can analyze the position of the device in the avalanche and switches to the best transmitting antenna. Worst coupling positions are thus eliminated. 3+ Fast Find The presentation of the real-time display is limited to the essentials. It displays the distance and direction. Once you are in the refined search area, the displayed circle shows whether you are getting closer to the victim or moving away from him/her. Battery status and number of buried/marked victims appear small. 3+ Fine Search In the refined search area, the patented circular display shows you whether you are getting closer to the victim or moving away from him/her in increments of 10 cm. The optimized, distinct search acoustics supports you in the search by pitch of the tone and volume. 3+ Easy Mark The number of victims is shown in the display. With the \"pin\" key you can quickly and easily mark located victims and continue the search. 3+ Icon Rubberized housing: Maximum protection against impacts. The 3+ is virtually indestructible. Ergonomics: The 3+ is ergonomically adapted to the anatomy of the human hand. Display lighting: The 3+ has a backlit display. So you can even train in the night or just go on a tour. Switchover in case of a follow-up avalanche: In the case of a follow-up avalanche, you are ready. After 120 seconds without movement, the 3+ switches over from search to transmit. Update capability: The 3+ is updateable and thus remains always at the cutting edge of technology. Updates done through the dealers. Professional Review "The Ortovox 3+ is quite simply a great transceiver, regardless of your experience level. The lack of gimmicks means that Ortovox have created a unit that is simple to use and highly effective wether searching for single or multiple avalanche victims. Every single detail has been well designed, from the comfortable harness, to the single battery, and the easy to use buttons. I would not hesitate to recommend this transceiver to anyone, whether novice or expert. This is destined to become very popular."
