How to access the BarryHeart 3.2 firmware for Barryvox S and Barryvox:

1. Via a device-to-device update

2. At a Service Center

3. At an Avalanche Safety Center


The firmware offers the following advantages:

  • SMART SEARCH (Barryvox S)
    Simplified visual interface with animated search arrow for guided fine search. The intuitive instruction guides the rescuer quickly and precisely through the fine search and reduces the search time.
  • PRO CHECK (Barryvox S)
    More accurate measurements with an optimized user interface for intuitive operation of the Pro Check. We especially recommend carrying out the Pro Check on older 1 and 2 antenna devices and, on avalanche transceivers that have not been checked by the manufacturer for some time. The Pro Check offers additional safety and helps to immediately identify any non-compliant avalanche transceiver that could reduce the effectiveness of a rescue.
  • ALTERNATIVE SEARCH MODE (Barryvox S)
    Improved sound and better differentiation between analog tones allows more precise range and direction guidance Alternative Search Mode. The Alternative Search Mode is used mainly when signal overlap or interference prevents differentiation of multiple buried subjects in standard mode.
  • BATTERY LIFE
    Longer battery life for the use of alkaline and lithium (Barryvox S only) batteries, especially in low temperatures.
  • PERFORMANCE BOOST
    In addition, the BarryHeart 3.2 firmware optimizes the following functions of the Barryvox and Barryvox S:
    1. Precision and speed of signal analysis, in particular when searching for older avalanche transceivers
    2. Stability of the marking function in the case of signal overlapse
    3. More intuitive buried subject list: the nearest buried subject is now shown closest to the searcher on the burial list while the subject furthest away appears at the top
