By exceeding the depth of 4 ft. the FAEE mode will switch on the

counting, and the display will change as shown in picture 32,

delivering following information and updating it every second:

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

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

icon "DIVE T";

3 maximum depth reached during the dive, given in meters

(m) or feet (ft) by the icon “MAX”;

4 indicator of segmented ascent rate

5 icon FAEE.

Other meaningful information may be obtained by keeping A

( ) depressed, as follows (picture 33):

1 value of maximum depth of apnoea dive, in meters (m) or

feet (ft);

2 water temperature, given in C° or °F degrees;

3 Icon of apnoea time alarm (if set);

4 Icon of maximum depth alarm (if set)

By keeping button C ( ) depressed, the display

shows the current time given in hours, minutes and seconds,

as shown in picture 34.

At any moment of your dive, should light conditions 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.

The FAEE mode will remain set as long as the diver does not

change the setting.

NOTE: when is set on FAEE (apnoea) mode, you

may set DIVE mode (both air or nitrox); on the contrary, it

won’t be possible to set GAGE mode during the 48 hours

elapsing since last apnoea dive.

 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.
