“The new DIRACT VOICE from Ortovox with vocal support is a game changer in the market of tracker beacons, as it makes the search operations way easier and quicker. The vocal directions are a feature that people has been asking for a long time. Ortovox managed to integrate vocal navigation in a product that still has a linear, simple deisgn with a competitive price”. ISPO MUNICH JURY
In 1980 Gerald Kemper invented the F2, a double frequency transmitter receiver. Today, more than 40 years later, Ortovox has created this tracker beacon, an exemplary product that guides rescuers in a clear and efficient way.
The motto of the new collection of the brand isDEFINE YOUR TRACK, each and every one of us can choose what to leave behind, in the snow as well as in their life. Everybody can choose to improve the world and minimize the damages we inflict to nature. That’s why the brand is trying to raise awareness on safer and sustainable ways to live the mountains, as well as to become an example for other brands of outdoor goods.
Right from the unboxing the clean design of the Ortovoxo DIRACT, in both versions, lets us see thequality of its materials: good finishings, protective. non-slippery rubber and a big display. The lithium battery integrated is created to withstand extremely low temperatures and it can be charged by a USB-C; Ortovox has spoken about a 200 h in transmission mode and more than 50 in research/receiving mode capacity.
The device comes with a stand-by mode, in which it neither receives nor transmits; useful if you want to avoid interfering with other ARTVA devices, held by the rescue team. Anyhow, the device deactivates this mode automatically, as well as the research mode, if it doesn’t detect movement for more than 2 minutes, activating the transmission mode.
DIRACT speaks and it’s really precise: in case of an emergency, the stability of the siplay since the first reception and the vocal directions, clear and short, cause less stress for the user and they allow a faster result. That’s the world’s first ARTVA device that leads you completely with vocal instructions, a feature that can make a huge difference The double communication (voice instruction and big written ones) can be reassuring, as well as easier to follow in case of an avalanche; the vocal direction given by DIRACT VOICE will help you stay calm and focused. After locating the transmitter, the instruction of DIRACT have proven precise and exact, even in the most difficult conditions.
Another plus of this Ortovox device is the easy on-easy off holder: when opened the beacon pops out so that it’s easier to reach. DIRACT is always at hand and ready to be used. The RECCO® reflector is integrated into the shouldedr strap and makes it even easier to find.
Last but not least, the device has Bluetooth connection and comes with a free app by ORTOVOX that automatically updates the softwares; it also allows user to extend the warranty an additional 5 years and and to search for useful video tutorials.
All in all Ortovox DIRACT is a simple and intuitive device, easy to use, which makes searching operations way easier, faster and more efficient.
