Battery Power The Tracker requires more power than an analog beacon. Does this mean it has a shorter battery life?
No. The Tracker uses the same amount of power in transmit mode as any other beacon. In search mode it requires more. Therefore we have a larger power supply (three AAA alkaline batteries). The Tracker is designed to meet the European standard for all avalanche transceivers: it will search for at least one hour after transmitting for 200 hours. We suggest replacing your batteries before the power display reaches zero percent, at which time there is still some reserve power supply.
