ORTOVOX｜DIRACT／DIRACT VOICE
An innovative model equipped with the world's first high-level search voice navigation system. With DIRACT VOICE, you can be guided to the burial site by an English voice without paying attention to the screen, so even beginners can search while paying attention to the surroundings. It has an effective search range of 50m and uses a rechargeable battery (charging terminal is UCB type C). When charging, you can also use a mobile battery for smartphones, which will also reduce the weight of your luggage. When updating the software, ORTOVOX provides a free updater (for Android OS/ios), so users can update themselves from their smartphones.

An avalanche transceiver is indispensable as an avalanche countermeasure equipment. The "Direct/Direct Voice" released from the 2021-22 season is also a must-see item. The "Voice Navigation System" installed only in Direct Voice can receive real-time voice support with only 10 sentences of intuitive instruction voice. It's in English, but it's also very simple, and it comes with Japanese translations of all the messages, so don't worry.
The lithium-ion battery can be recharged repeatedly, eliminating the need for dry batteries, which not only reduces the weight of the equipment, but also considers the environment. Since it can be shared with a mobile battery for smartphones, it is also appreciated that it can be recharged while hiking.
The most important function, the stability of the radio wave strength for transmission and reception, is certified by the field of use. Since the direct series does not miss the received radio waves and can continue to acquire them stably, it is possible to conduct extremely quick and precise searches.
The 100% virgin merino wool from Tasmania is used for the innerwear, which is extremely soft to the touch and is a proud item of ORTOVOX. Because it is made of 100% wool, it retains heat very well, making it perfect for the cold winter months. Another advantage of wool is that it doesn't smell. Although it is wool, it dries quickly and is comfortable because it does not get stuffy. It is safe to have one not only in winter but also in camping and summer mountain scenes.
Founded in 1976. ORTOVOX's roots began when Gerald Campel, an electrician, started making a backpack that can compactly store rescue equipment when he was involved in the development of a transceiver for mountain rescue. After that, he developed shovels and 100% wool innerwear, and in 1989 produced the avalanche transceiver "ORTOVOX F1", which is inherited by the current ORTOVOX. We have developed innovative products one after another, centered on avalanche gear, and since then have become a highly trusted brand among Alps mountain professional guides. ORTOVOX is passionate not only about manufacturing, but also about safety awareness activities. In 2008, ORTOVOX established the SAFETY ACADEMY, and continues to provide the world with various mountain safety knowledge and techniques. there is
