In the NITROX mode, the default setting for Mix1 is standard air (21% O2). It remains in this setting until the O2% is adjusted to any other percentage of oxygen (22%–99%). The default setting for maximum oxygen partial pressure is 1.4 bar, however you are able to set it in the range of 0.5–1.6 bar.

Mix2 is set to OFF by default. To set Mix2 , refer to Section 6.2.4. Gas change and multiple breathing gas mixes. Oxygen percentages and maximum oxygen partial pressures for Mix2 are stored permanently.
