•the correct oxygen percentages are adjusted according to the measured oxygen percentages in your cylinders
•the oxygen partial pressure limits are set correctly
For more information on the NITROX mode, refer to Section 6.2. Diving in NITROX mode (DIVEnitrox).
The dive computer is now ready for diving.
5.9.3. Battery power indication
Temperature or internal oxidation of the battery affect the battery voltage. If the instrument is stored for a long period, or used in cold temperatures, the low battery warning may be displayed even though the battery has enough capacity. In these cases,
After the battery check, the Low Battery Warning is indicated by the battery symbol.
If the battery symbol is displayed in the Surface mode, or if the display is faded or weak, the battery may be too low to operate the dive computer, and battery replacement is recommended.
NOTE | For safety reasons, the backlight cannot be activated when the low |
| battery warning is indicated by the battery symbol. |
5.9.4. Diving at altitude
The dive computer can be adjusted both for diving at altitude and also to increase the conservatism of the mathematical nitrogen model.
When programming the instrument for the correct altitude, you need to select the correct Altitude Adjustment settings according to Table 5.4, Altitude Adjustment settings. The dive computer will adjust its mathematical model according to the entered altitude setting, giving shorter
Table 5.4. Altitude Adjustment settings
Alt. adjustment value | Altitude range |
A0 | 0 - 300 m / 0 - 1000 ft |
A1 | 300 - 1500 m / 1000 - 5000 ft |
A2 | 1500 - 3000 m / 5000 - 10 000 ft |
NOTE | Section 5.8.4. Setting the personal/altitude adjustments describes |
| how the Altitude value is set. |
WARNING | Traveling to a higher elevation can temporarily cause a change in the |
| equilibrium of dissolved nitrogen in the body. It is recommended that |
| you acclimatize to the new altitude by waiting at least three hours |
| before diving. |
