Mail for help.Help!!
Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Just got this from Ellis Brigham

"Good Afternoon,



Black Diamond/Pieps have released a safety check for some of their transceivers and have asked for us to make our customers that have bought one aware of what they would like to be done.



Information about how to perform the check, why they are asking for the check and what is to be done if it fails is in the link below.

If you have any questions, please get in touch."

I've checked mine and it's good to go.

Just had this through direct from Black Diamond:

Voluntary Safety Recall - Avalanche Transceivers

BLACK DIAMOND - VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL
PIEPS and Black Diamond Avalanche Transceiver

7/28/2022

In coordination with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada, Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. is voluntarily recalling PIEPS Pro BT, Powder BT, DSP Sport, DSP Pro, DSP Pro Ice, Micro Button BT, Micro BT Sensor and Micro BT Race avalanche transceivers and the Black Diamond branded Recon BT and Guide BT avalanche transceivers. This voluntary recall follows a previous Safety Check Notice from April 2022.

The reason for the voluntary recall is related to a material handling / assembly anomaly in manufacturing that affected a small number of units. The recalled transceivers may not switch from SEND mode into SEARCH mode. If this were to occur, the device would not be able to locate another skier in an avalanche, which could result in severe bodily harm or death if a skier is buried under snow.

Affected models include:

• PIEPS Micro BT Button
• PIEPS Micro BT Race
• PIEPS Micro BT Sensor
• PIEPS POWDER BT
• PIEPS PRO BT
• PIEPS DSP PRO
• PIEPS DSP SPORT
• PIEPS DSP PRO ICE
• BLACK DIAMOND RECON BT
• BLACK DIAMOND GUIDE BT

What will Black Diamond do?

Black Diamond will replace or repair all affected transceivers that do not pass the safety check free of charge.

What we need you to do?

1. Please stop using the recalled transceivers and perform a safety check to verify if the device can switch into Search Mode by following instructions and video tutorials on our website.

2. Immediately stop using transceivers not working properly and register the affected transceivers on our website to receive a prepaid shipping label to return the recalled transceivers for a free repair or a replacement. You may also contact Black Diamond at 2022beaconrecall@bdel.com or call us 866-306-0865 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. MT Monday – Friday and we can take your information.

We recommend you follow best practices and always check both SEND and SEARCH functions on your safety device prior to each use.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Sincerely,

Black Diamond
