Focus Voice
SUMMARY
3-antenna avalanche transceiver with integrated voice navigation & Smart-Antenna Technology.SUMMARY
3-antenna avalanche transceiver with integrated voice navigation & Smart-Antenna Technology.The Ortovox Focus Voice is a three-antenna digital avalanche transceiver built around a feature that no other beacon on the market offered at its launch: integrated voice navigation. Rather than requiring the searcher to divide their attention between the display and the snow surface, the Focus Voice delivers clear, spoken instructions throughout every phase of the rescue — signal search, coarse search and fine search — allowing the user to keep eyes up and move faster. In testing and real-world use, this approach has been shown to reduce errors and save time during the critical first minutes of an avalanche rescue.
The device uses Smart-Antenna Technology, which analyses the transceiver’s position and orientation within the avalanche deposit and automatically switches to the best-performing transmit antenna — delivering up to double the effective range compared to a conventional fixed-antenna beacon. The full-graphic, extra-large display is highly readable in all light conditions and maintains stable, consistent readings from the moment of first signal acquisition. Secondary avalanche protection automatically switches the device from search or standby mode back to transmit if the searcher remains stationary for over two minutes. A single-button operation allows quick victim flagging for multiple burial management. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery operates reliably down to -20°C. Available in Safety Blue, One Size.
Features:
- Integrated voice navigation — clear spoken instructions throughout all search phases, reducing cognitive load and errors in high-stress rescues
- Smart-Antenna Technology — analyses beacon position and auto-switches to the best transmit antenna for up to double effective range
- 3-antenna digital transceiver — full x/y/z axis coverage for precise location in all orientations
- Search strip width: max. 50m — wide search corridor; automatically reduced to 20m if electromagnetic interference is detected
- Extra-large full-graphic display — stable, consistent readings from first signal acquisition, readable in all light conditions
- Single-button operation — flag up to 4 victims for multiple burial management without mode-switching confusion
- Secondary avalanche protection — auto-reverts to transmit after 120 seconds of no movement while in search mode
- Standby mode — temporarily suppresses own transmit signal to avoid interference during active rescue
- Rechargeable lithium-ion battery — 200h transmit life, reliable to -20°C; updatable via free Ortovox app (iOS & Android)
- RECCO reflector in harness — additional passive location capability for professional rescue teams
- Rubberised grip zone — secure handling when wearing gloves in icy conditions
