BATTERY CHANGE
While the battery is being replaced, calculations and Set Points will be held in memory for 8 seconds.
PSM (POWER SAVER MODE)
Once 10 minutes elapse while the unit is activated and on the surface prior to conducting any dives, or once 10 minutes elapse
after the post dive transition period* has ended, the unit enters PSM (Power Saver Mode).
PSM turns the display off (Fig. 8) until the button is pressed at which time it turns back on.
During the time that the screen is off, all operations continue as normal in the background with current updated information dis-
played as soon as the screen comes on again.
*Transition Period (upon surfacing) -
• Operation shifts from Dive Mode to Surface Mode upon ascent to 2 FT (0.6 M) for 1 second.
• During the first 10 minutes after surfacing, the Surface Main screen will be displayed with Surface Interval time. Surface
ALTs can be accessed to view other information pertaining to that dive.
• A descent during the first 10 minutes after surfacing is a continuation of that same dive.
• A descent made after the 10 minute interval has elapsed is then considered a new dive.
