CORNER OF THE DISPLAY, WHEN THE DIVE

COMPUTER IS IN CONTACT WITH WATER.

THIS ALSO ACTIVATES THE DIVE MODE.

Contamination or dirt on the water contact may prevent this automatic activation. It is therefore important that the water contact is kept clean. The contact can be cleaned with fresh water and a soft brush, for example a tooth brush.
