It's extremely easy to use it omits a beep signal

up to 40 yards and then as the beep gets louder as your going in the right direction, you increase the sesitivity, 40,30,20, 10, 5,2.5, 1 then you dig and there is the other beacon. very simple and user friendly. I had a buddy who was wearing one, and so were the guys tracking him, and they dug him out, he was 6 feet under the snow level, and survived
