How to access the new BarryHeart 3.0 firmware:

1. Via a device-to-device update

2. At a Service Center

3. At an Avalanche Safety Center

The new firmware offers the following advantages:

  • Group Test
    The intuitive Barryvox group test allows you to carry out a quick and easy check of both transmission frequency and range of all avalanche transceivers at the start of a tour. The distance to the transceiver to be checked is indicated on the display, clearly differentiating individual devices in the Barryvox group check. Similar to a partner check in climbing, we recommend carrying out the group check before the start of each tour to ensure all avalanche transceivers are working correctly.If space limitations make it impossible to carry out a group check, a minimal test can be carried out to ensure all participants’ avalanche transceivers are transmitting.
  • Barryvox S Pro Check
    The Barryvox S Pro Check allows the quick and precise measurement of an avalanche transceiver’s transmission frequency, cycle duration and pulse length before a tour. This function offers additional safety,especially in cases where some members of a group are using older 1 and 2 antenna devices. It ensures immediate detection of any non-compliant avalanche transceivers that are likely to cause searching problems such as signal overlap within the group.
  • Barryvox S Alternative Search Mode (Analog)
    The alternative search mode uses the analog tone in addition to the distance and direction to the avalanche transceiver with the strongest signal. The alternative search mode is used mainly when signal overlap or interference prevents differentiation of multiple buried subjects in standard mode.
  • Optimized Interference Resistance
    Thanks to the Barryvox transceiver’s high resistance to interference, electronic gadgets (smartphones, headlamps, radios, etc.) are less likely to cause inaccurate direction and distance displays or ghost signals.
  • Performance Boost:
    - Faster and more precise signal analysis
    - More stable marking function during signal overlaps
    - Faster direction display after reception of the first signal
    - Improved guidance during 180° errors
    - Faster and more stable list of buried subjects
    - Improved battery life display
