Turns Counter
The turns counter records the number of turns an operator has made during the dive. It is a good idea
to keep this number as close to 0 as possible and to return it to 0 before winding in the tether. If the
ROV is powered OFF and ON again, the turns will reset to 0.
On Screen Display On/Off
If you would like to turn off the OSD (on-screen-display) for instances such as recording
your dive, press the MENU button, select SETUP and then OSD. Here you can toggle it on or off.
Date and time readings are not included in the Deep Trekker sensor system. This must be added using
the recording device.
Calibrating the Compass
The accuracy of the compass can be improved by calibration. The following steps will guide you through
the process. The hand-held controller will also include these similar instructions.

On the controller enter the menu.

5.
Instructions will appear on the screen, move the ROV in a horizontal figure-eight motion
for 15 seconds. Avoid sudden movements and accelerating/decelerating.
6.
Next, rotate the ROV on all 3 axis (pitch, roll, and yaw) for 5 seconds each. The rotating
of all 3 axis must be completed within 15 seconds. Rotate the ROV smoothly, without
sudden movements. The order in which you rotate the ROV on each axis does not
matter.
