How to access the new BarryHeart 3.4 firmware:
1. Via a device-to-device update
3. At an Avalanche Safety Center
The new firmware offers the following advantages:
1. Alternative Search Mode
Improved sound quality and easier interpretation of the analog sound check (Barryvox S only).
2. Batteries
Optimized battery recognition and support for high voltage-output alkaline batteries.
3. Service Software
More stable w-link connection to the service tools.
Alternative Search Mode (Barryvox S)
Firmware 3.4 provides improved sound quality and optimized resolution of gain steps for reliable differentiation between multiple avalanche transceivers during the analog tone check and when using the alternative search mode. Pro Search and the alternative search mode provide an analog tone that can be used when a clear separation of multiple burials is no longer possible in the digital standard mode due to signal overlap or interference.
Battery Capacity Display
Optimized battery recognition and support for alkaline batteries with high output voltage (> 1.5 V per LR03-AAA cell) for optimized display of battery capacity for alkaline and lithium (Barryvox S) batteries, even in low temperatures.
Service Software
Firmware 3.4 provides higher stability of the w-link connection between transceivers and the service tool. The service software enables wireless communication with a high number of Barryvox devices and allows easier management, configuration and upgrade for fleet operators and rentals.
Performance Boost:
The BarryHeart 3.4 firmware optimizes the following functions of the Barryvox and Barryvox S:
1. Optimized detection of the signal from an older or damaged transceiver which is outside the allowed period duration
2. Improved signal separation in complex search scenarios with lengthy signal-overlaps or transmitters with continuous-carrier signals
3. Improved structuring of the list of buried subjects for transmitters with continuous carrier signals
