Ortovox Focus Voice Avalanche Transceiver Safety Blue

The Ortovox Focus Voice is the avalanche transceiver that tells you what to do during a search for a buried victim: The patented voice navigation guides you through signal search, coarse search, and fine search with spoken instructions, in German or nine other languages. Three antennas with Smart Antenna Technology, an 80-meter search strip width, a large 2.7-inch display, and a lithium-ion battery that you charge via USB-C. Compact, weighing just 185 grams, and available in Safety Blue.

Ortovox Focus Voice: Avalanche transceiver with voice navigation for ski touring and freeriding

In an avalanche situation, every second counts—and that’s exactly when what you learned in class often fails you. The Focus Voice takes the thinking out of the process for you. As soon as you switch to search mode, the device tells you whether you’re in signal search mode, which direction to head in, when to slow down, and when it’s time to unpack your probe. In addition, the large full-graphics display shows direction and distance, and during the fine-tuning phase, visual and audible cues—including a 180-degree correction—help if you happen to walk past the buried person.

Smart Antenna Technology analyzes the device’s position and automatically transmits via the antenna with the best signal. In transmit mode, this increases the search range for rescuers. If a second Ortovox device with Smart Antenna is searching, the search strip width increases from 80 to 90 meters. Interference protection adapts to electronic interference sources such as cell phones or radios, in both transmit and search modes. If there are multiple buried victims, you mark the people you’ve found, and the device guides you to the next signal; up to four buried victims are displayed. If a secondary avalanche is triggered, the device automatically switches from search mode back to transmit mode.
