{"product_id":"ortovox-focus-transceiver","title":"Ortovox Focus Voice","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Focus Voice is Ortovox’s simple, powerful transceiver for beginners and experienced backcountry riders alike. Clear voice prompts guide you through every phase of a search, so you can keep your eyes on the debris instead of the screen. It has an 80 m search strip width, one of the widest on the market, and Smart Antenna Technology switches to the best transmitting antenna if you’re buried, for up to twice the reach. It also has the largest memory-in-pixel display of its type, which is easy to read in bright sun. It won an ISPO Award in 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSPECS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 antennas, circular reception pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSearch strip width: 80 m (ICAR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented voice navigation in 10 languages (DE, EN, FR, IT, ES, NOR, SV, CZ, NL, JP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmart Antenna Technology in transmit mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterference protection in search and transmit modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStable display from first reception\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShows up to 4 victims, with flagging to mark each one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisual and acoustic support in fine search\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180 degree correction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSearch mode and standby mode with secondary avalanche switchover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroup check and permanent self-test\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-graphic MIP display, 2.7 in (400 x 240 pixels)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth and the free Ortovox app (iOS and Android)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof (EN 300718)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrying system with quick access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRechargeable lithium-ion battery (1,100 mAh), USB-C, works down to -20°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery life: typically 350 hours send (200 hour minimum), typically 16 hours search\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 12 x 7 x 2.3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 185 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTested and recommended by the German Mountain and Ski Guides Association and the French Mountain Guide Association\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal usage: ski touring 5\/5, freeride 5\/5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-year warranty, extended to 5 years with registration in the app\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBUYERS’ GUIDE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is the one to look at if you want a beacon that talks you through a search, and for most recreational riders it’s the right amount of beacon. The voice prompts are the big draw. They keep you calm when your heart is pounding, and a 2025 study cited by Ortovox found they can reduce stress and search times. Two things to know before you buy. English and German voice are pre-installed, but any other language has to be installed through the Ortovox app. Standby mode is also switched off by default, so if you want it, turn it on in the app. If you’ve been looking at the Diract Voice, guides who’ve tested the Focus Voice say the biggest improvement is range. The Focus Pro is the step up if you’re a guide or train for complex multiple burials. It adds analog audio, manual reach reduction, and distance readouts for every victim. For most of us, those features are more than we’ll use. Charge it when it drops below about 80% and check the level every time you switch it on. Register it in the app for the five-year warranty, and practise with your group before the season starts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ortovox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67684329652526,"sku":"1142400001","price":550.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/7141\/3319\/files\/7d13e853-511d-47e4-8e79-60138c13bf03.png?v=1791583909","url":"https:\/\/avalanchesafety.ca\/products\/ortovox-focus-transceiver","provider":"Avalanche Safety Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
