POST DIVE SURFACE MODE
When you ascend to 4 FT (0.6 M), the ATOM will enter Surface
Mode and begin counting your Surface Interval.
TRANSITION PERIOD
If you descend during the first 10 minutes after surfacing (re-
ferred to as the Transition Period), time underwater will be
considered a continuation of that dive. The time at the surface (if
less than 10 minutes) will not be added as Dive Time.
Transition Period information on the surface includes (Fig. 119):
> TLBG, representing Nitrogen loading.
> LINK icon and Tank Pressure with symbol PSI (or BAR), if the
Receiver is Linked with a TMT.
> Graphic NORM alternating with the Altitude Level graphic
SEA (or EL2 through EL13) and WET (if the unit is wet).
> Battery icon if an ATOM Low Battery Warning Condition
exists, flashing if Too Low.
> Symbol DIVE and Number of that dive.
> Symbols TIME and SURF, and Surface Interval Time (hr:min).
> NITROX symbol, if any GAS is set for a Nitrox dive.
> Tank icon representing the GAS in use.
During the Transition Period, Alternate displays and the Log for
that dive can be accessed. Other modes (e.g., Plan, Fly, Sat,
Hist, Set) are accessible after 10 minutes on the surface.
