2.Ensure that the Suunto HelO2 is turned on, and that the wireless integration is enabled in the Suunto HelO2 settings (HP set ON, see Section 5.9.8. Setting the HP code). The HelO2 should display “cd:--” in the lower left corner of the alternative display.

3.Slowly open the cylinder valve fully and pressurize the regulator. The transmitter starts transmitting when the pressure exceeds 15 bar/218 psi.

4.Take the Suunto HelO2 wrist unit close to the transmitter. The unit will then quickly display the selected code number and then start displaying the transmitted cylinder pressure. The wireless transmitter indicator is displayed every time the Suunto receives a valid signal.

WARNING

If there are several divers using Suunto HelO2 with wireless transmis-

 

sion, always ensure that each diver is using a different code before

 

starting the dive.

 

You can manually change the transmitter’s code by reducing the

 

pressure to less than 10 bar/145 psi and then immediately (within 10-

 

12 seconds) increasing the pressure to above 15 bar/220 psi.

 

Reset the transmitter's code manually, see Section 5.9.8. Setting the

 

HP code.

 

The transmitter will then select a new code. The Suunto HelO2 must

 

be in “cd:--“ mode to pair on the new code. This procedure can be

 

used if, for example, your dive buddy has the same code and you

 

need to change it.

NOTE

In order to save battery energy, the transmitter shuts off if the pressure

 

remains unchanged for more than 10 minutes, and it will continue

 

transmitting with the saved code when any pressure change is

 

measured.

5.8.3. Transmitting data

After the pairing procedure, the Suunto HelO2 will receive cylinder pressure data from the transmitter. The pressure is displayed in either bars or psi, depending on the unit selected. Any time the Suunto HelO2 receives an appropriate signal it flashes the wireless transmitter indicator in the display’s lower left corner.
