Instructions for underwater communication
When speaking to other divers, remember that they are diving.
It is best to attract their attention before sending a message.
Talking and listening while underwater requires practice. With
experience, divers will become more proficient in the use of
the communications system.
Speak slowly, and pronounce each word clearly. Only speak
after having sent a call impulse by pressing the button on the
microphone. It is advisable to practice in a swimming pool
before using the device in open water.
Bubbles, and especially, small air bubbles, that are in contact
with or near those communicating reduce the transmitting
power. When using the unit in swimming pools or in highly
oxygenated water, coat your antenna with silicone lubricant.
This will make it more difficult for the air bubbles to adhere to
it.
Obstacles such as rocks may reduce your communication
range.
When exhaling, reduce the emission of bubbles as far as
possible (WITHOUT STOPPING EXHALING WHEN
SURFACING). Bubbles cause noise or ultrasonic base signals.
It is normal to receive a background signal like clutter.
Movement of sand and pebbles on the seabed, marine motors,
cetaceans, and other sources can create vibrations in the
water that give rise to a range of ultrasonic waves that can be
picked up by the GSM.
When using the device in shallow water, you may experience
difficulty communicating because:
(1) The surface is full of air bubbles formed by the waves.
(2) The sand under water is causing ultrasonic noise due to
the waves.
