Source: manualslib.com (verified 2026-08-11). Ortovox's own user manual (hosted on ManualsLib, mirroring the official documentation Ortovox distributes for this model) documents 3 antennas, up to 40 m recommended search strip width, one AA alkaline 1.5V battery, ~189 g weight including battery, and marking guidance for multiple-burial scenarios (sector method); 2-minute motion-based auto-revert with an audible v1.1 firmware warning is corroborated on beaconreviews.com's independent spec page. Ortovox's own live shop pages (ortovox.com/us-en and ortovox.com/int/en) both errored out (missing sales channel) on direct fetch during this verification pass, so the manufacturer's own product page could not be used as the primary source and USD price is left null given conflicting third-party figures ($310 vs $380).
