The Ortovox ZOOM is simplicity at it's very best.
INTUITIVE DESIGN
ORTOVOX have reduced the ZOOM to the two most important functions, search and transmit. Just two buttons make operating errors practically impossible. Once switched on, it is possible to switch between transmission and search mode using the safety switchover button. Visual direction and distance cues are given on the large LED display. An all-round soft rubber ring guarantees good handling and additional protection. The ZOOM is protected from being lost by an elastic hand strap and a comfortable bag.
VISUAL + ACOUSTIC SEARCH
The ZOOM focuses the person searching on the large display in the middle of the device. LEDS are used to show the distance to the victim, the direction using arrows and if there is a multiple burial situation. LEDS are easy to read especially in poor visibility conditions and at night. The visual search mode is supported by intuitive search acoustics. Higher and fast sounds tell you that you are approaching the avalanche victim.
SMART ANTENNA TECHNOLOGY
Even when people are buried under avalanches, the victims benefit from the ZOOM. The integrated Smart Antenna Technology analyzes the position of the antennae in the avalanche and automatically switches to the best transmission antenna. The result: 43% longer range in the worst reception area. The patented Smart Antenna Technology is compatible with all avalanche transceivers regardless of which device the person searching is using.
SWITCHOVER IN CASE OF A FOLLOW-UP AVALANCHE
The ZOOM is equipped with the latest digital 3-antenna technology and with a motion sensor. This is required for switching over in case of a secondary avalanche. If the transmitter registers no movement for more than 120 seconds whilst searching, it automatically switches back to transmission mode. Rescuers are thereby protected from fsecondary avalanches at all times.
MORE TECHNOLOGY
The ZOOM's complete electronics are checked when it is turned on (self test) and constantly monitored whilst being used. Once the search mode has been activated, rescuers get an initial signal at 40 metres and are able to make use of a search strip width of the same size. One AA battery is sufficient for 250 hours in transmission mode. Without compromising transmission time, the ZOOM is kinder on the environment and your wallet!
