BATTERY CHANGE 

While the battery is being replaced, calculations and settings will be held in non volatile memory.  Time and Date may need to 

be adjusted after the battery is installed.

PSM (POWER SAVER MODE)

Once 10 minutes elapse while the unit is activated and on the surface prior to conducting any dives, or once 10 minutes elapse 

after the post dive transition period* has ended, the unit enters PSM (Power Saver Mode).

PSM turns the display off until a button is pressed at which time it turns back on, restoring the screen displayed when it shut off.  

During the time that the screen is off, all operations continue as normal in the background with current updated information 

displayed as soon as the screen comes on again. 

*Transition Period (upon surfacing) -

•  Operation shifts from Dive Mode to Surface Mode upon ascent to 2 FT (0.6 M) for 1 second.

•  Making a descent during the first 10 minutes after surfacing from a dive is a continuation of that dive.  

•  A descent made after the 10 minute interval has elapsed is then considered a new dive.  

•  During the first 10 minutes after surfacing, the Surface Main screen will be displayed with Surface Interval time.  Surface 

ALTs can be accessed to view other information pertaining to that dive.

OPERATING MODES 

NORM  Mode >> for Air and Nitrox SCUBA activity

If no previous dive has been taken within the past 24 hours, NORM is the default upon activation.  Others accessed using the Surface Menu.  

At any time while operating in Surface Modes, operation will enter the Dive Mode selected upon descent to 5 FT (1.5 M) for 5 seconds.

•  When Wet Activation is set Off, Dive Mode will not be activated unless the unit is turned On while on the surface.

•  When Wet Activation is set On, immersion in water will activate the unit which will then enter the Dive Mode selected upon descent.

Operation will revert from Dive Mode to Surface Mode upon ascent to 2 FT (0.6 M) for 1 second.  During the first 10 minutes after a dive, the Surface ALT 

screens an be accessed, with access to other modes or screens allowed only after the 10 minutes elapse.

•  A descent during the first 10 minutes after surfacing from a dive is a continuation of that dive.

•  After the 10 minute interval has elapsed, the normal Surface Main will be displayed and a descent is then considered a new dive.
