- 1 Keep using Avalanche Transceivers only as advised. See the remedy below.
- 2 Set it aside where it won't be used by mistake.
- 3 Contact Black Diamond Equipment Ltd. to arrange your repair. See the official notice below for contact details.
- 4 Keep the product until your remedy is fully processed. You may need it.
Official remedy (Repair): Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled transceivers and perform a safety check to verify if the device can switch into Search Mode by following instructions on this website.
