Ortovox Zoom+ Avalanche Beacon
Ortovox's Smart Antenna Technology in the Zoom+ avalanche beacon determines your body's orientation and switches to the optimal transmission antenna for better transmission range to rescuers. It doesn't matter which kind of transceiver is being used for searching, and through a motion sensor, the Zoom+ automatically switches back to transmission mode in case searchers are hit by an additional avalanche.
Features include intuitive search acoustics, and large LED displays with distance information and directional arrows. Two operating buttons turn the beacon on or off and from search to transmit mode. This 2015 model operates on just one AA battery, and includes a Recco reflector inside — the rescue technology used by more than 700 ski areas and rescue teams worldwide.
