Moreover, by keeping button C ( ) depressed, it is possi-

ble to look at the current time given in hours, minutes and seconds.

To reset the timer, you need to keep button D ( ), for longer

than three seconds, as shown in picture 25: the display shows the

“TRES” icon flashing for some seconds, confirming that the GAGE

program’s timer has been reset.

At any moment of your dive, should light conditions do not allow

you an easy reading of the display, it is possible to switch on the

back-illumination, by depressing button B ( ). The display

back-illumination will last about 5 seconds and may be repeated

any time you want. The battery consumption is minimal.

WARNING: the instrument does not make DIVE program’s

saturation and de-saturation computations during the 48

hours elapsing since a dive carried out in GAGE (depth

gauge-timer) program.

WARNING: it won’t be possible to set FAEE mode during

the 48 hours elapsing since last GAGE (gauge-timer) dive.

FAEE

(or apnoea) program

Cressi-sub computer is equipped with a FAEE (or

apnoea) program, destined to the divers who wish to use the

instrument for apnoea dives, provided they had proper training.

WARNING: Cressi-sub discourages apnoea dives without

proper training, since the instrument does not replace a

correct information on apnoea diving physiology and risks,

which might be very dangerous to the diver’s safety.

NOTE: apnoea diving, especially when deep and protrac-

ted, may cause serious risks to occur, as for example pro-

longed apnoea syncope, which may cause a sudden and

very dangerous loss of consciousness.

 DANGER: Cressi-sub strongly recommends to avoid

any apnoea diving after snorkel dives. Moreover, at least

two hours should elapse since the end of a snorkel dive

before starting an apnoea dive, which anyway should not

exceed the allowed maximum depth of 16 ft.

It has already been shown in chapter 3.3. how to get to

computer’ s FAEE mode setting: it switches on automatically

when the computer gets underwater. In this situation the

computer’ s contact “E” is on, and its display changes, accor-

ding to the situation, showing following information:

a) View of the first apnoea dive of the day (picture 31-a):

1 value of current depth, in meters (m) or feet (ft);

2 time of last apnoea dive, given in minutes and seconds by

the icon "DIVE T";

3 maximum depth reached during last apnoea dive, given in

meters (m) or feet (ft) by the icon “MAX”;

4 TOTAL number of apnoea dives performed during the day;

5 icon FAEE.

NOTE: the total number of apnoea dives performed during the

day will be reset automatically at midnight. It is though possible

to reset the apnoea dives’ memory of the day at any moment,

by following the procedure described in chapter 3.7.2.

b) View of a subsequent apnoea dive (picture 31-b):
