ARVA Neo BT Pro

The hoe configuration allows you to pull snow toward you rather than just pushing it away, which is significantly more efficient when clearing large amounts of debris or digging a deep snow pit. It saves energy and helps you move snow faster during a rescue scenario.

Yes, the beacon is compatible with both alkaline and lithium batteries, but lithium batteries provide the longest runtime. You can expect up to 350 hours with alkaline batteries and up to 450 hours with lithium.

When you locate multiple signals, the flagging function allows you to 'mark' or ignore a signal you have already located. This clears your screen to focus on the next closest signal, preventing confusion during a complex search.

At 260cm, this probe is a standard length suitable for most backcountry terrain and snowpack depths. Its 7075 aluminum construction provides the necessary stiffness to penetrate dense avalanche debris effectively.

This is a critical safety feature that automatically reverts the beacon to 'send' mode if it detects no movement for a set period while in 'search' mode. It ensures that if you are caught in a secondary avalanche while searching for a victim, your beacon will still be transmitting your location to rescuers.

Bluetooth connectivity allows you to connect the beacon to the ARVA app on your smartphone. This makes it much easier to manage device settings, perform software updates, and run diagnostics without needing to connect to a computer.
