Hi guys
It might not be relevant for you, it might not even be true for most cases (I have Ortovox, but my wife has Pieps DSP Sport and never had this issue), but just in case as it just might save someone's life.
Here's video of guy explaining Pieps DSP Sport/Pro/Ice transceivers can accidentally switch to search mode or even switch off.
I know he's putting it wrong side up into pouch, or if not wrong, at least the opposite way then Pieps recommends, but later in comments, he wrote he managed to switch it off or to search mode even when put into pouch "right" way.
This might be actually the case why guy in Hanging Lake avalanche (http://www.wayneflannavalancheblog.com/2017/03/march-5-2017.html) had his transceiver on search mode, and was unfortunately rescued too late to survive.
