I am not sure how I deploy the device in the event of an emergency? I am planning to use it for Backpacking more than skiing. I am Military and have talked with my friends with Search and Rescue - We understand the concept of RECCO Detectors - we are just not sure how I deploy the device being in the sleeve of the jacket in the event of an emergency in the back country.

The Recco detectors are only available to organised rescue teams and resorts. For more information go to www.recco.com or send an email to info@recco.com Hi Mike,

Please read it again: "The RECCO® system is not a substitute for an avalanche beacon. Complementary in function, the system is an additional tool for rescue teams that does not interfere with avalanche dogs, beacon searches or probe lines." Hi Doug,

I don’t think so.
