Features
UNCOMPROMISINGLY SIMPLE. UNCOMPROMISINGLY POWERFUL.
Intuitive, compact avalanche transceiver with voice navigation for fast, targeted searches.
BUILT ON 45 YEARS OF PIONEERING SAFETY
Featuring patented voice navigation, FOCUS VOICE is uncompromisingly simple and powerful — redefining avalanche safety for beginners and backcountry enthusiasts alike. Offering one of the largest search-strip widths on the market at 80m, the avalanche transceiver provides optimal conditions for fast, efficient searching even under the most challenging conditions. Integrated voice navigation provides maximum support: Clear announcements in every search phase provide calm and clarity when every second counts.
MAXIMUM SUPPORT
The patented voice navigation provides clear instructions during each search phase, ensuring calm and clarity. A study² shows that it can reduce stress and search times. The display is stable from first reception. The largest MIP display currently on the market shows you all information in the highest quality and ensures optimal legibility.
MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
A search-strip width of 80m makes the FOCUS VOICE one of the most powerful avalanche transceivers on the market. The search-strip width actually extends to 90m when searching using ORTOVOX avalanche transceivers with Smart Antenna Technology. The greater the reach, the shorter the search path on the avalanche field, allowing the signal from the buried victim to be detected more quickly.
MAXIMUM PROTECTION
The patented Smart Antenna Technology analyzes the device’s location in the avalanche and automatically switches to the best transmitting antenna. The result: Up to twice the reach — and a higher probability that you will be found in the first search run. Interference protection enables FOCUS VOICE to automatically adapt to electronic interference sources in search and transmit mode, ensuring stable signal transmission.

AI FAQs
AI generated FAQs about the Focus Voice Beacon
How do I know this beacon will transmit a strong signal when I'm buried?
Smart Antenna Technology analyzes the beacon’s position in an avalanche and automatically selects the best transmitting antenna, providing up to twice the reach. Interference protection also adapts to electronic interference in transmit mode to help maintain stable signal transmission.
Will this beacon work in very cold temperatures?
The Focus Voice has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery rated for use down to -20°C. That supports dependable beacon operation in cold backcountry conditions within that stated temperature limit.
How do I know I'm using the search function correctly?
Voice navigation gives you clear announcements during every search phase, backed by visual and acoustic support in fine search. The stable full-graphic display shows search information from first reception to help you follow the search process clearly.
What should I practice before going into the backcountry with this?
Practice using the beacon’s training mode and group-check function before heading into the backcountry. You can also use the ORTOVOX App for device checks and training mode.
How heavy is this, and will I notice carrying it all day?
The Focus Voice weighs 185 g. Its compact 12 x 7 x 2.3 cm form keeps the beacon small for all-day backcountry carry.
How do I maintain this beacon between trips?
Use the ORTOVOX App to install regular software updates, which are strongly recommended, and to run a device check. The beacon also has a permanent self-test function to support ongoing readiness between trips.
What should I check on this beacon before each outing?
Run the Focus Voice’s group check and confirm its permanent self-test is functioning before each outing. You can also use the ORTOVOX App’s device-check feature as part of your pre-trip routine.
What batteries does this beacon use, and how long do they last?
The Focus Voice uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and recharges via USB-C. Its battery life is not stated, so plan your charging around the conditions and duration of your tour.
How important is the range of this beacon for the terrain I ski or ride?
The Focus Voice has an 80 m ICAR search-strip width, extending to 90 m when searching for ORTOVOX transceivers with Smart Antenna Technology. The wider search strip can shorten your search path and help you detect a buried person’s signal more quickly across an avalanche field.
