MAIN MENU
Your Nemo Excel has three distinct Menu
operating modes: Dive Menu, Time Menu and
Main Menu (fig. 8).
Fig. 8
In the previous sections you saw how to
navigate the Time Menu. Now we will look at
the Main Menu, which provides the only link
between the other two menu modes and the
“Off” function (fig. 9).
Fig. 9
Mares has very clearly distinguished the
different operating modes in Nemo Excel,
to maximize its ease of use, avoid possible
interpretation errors and highlight different
features depending on the situation.
“OFF” MODE
From the Main Menu you can access Off Mode,
which enables you to conserve battery power
when the instrument is not in use.
SWITCHON
To switch on your Nemo Excel, simply press
any one of the buttons. During switch-on
Nemo Excel performs a self-test of the
system and display. This procedure lasts a few
seconds.
In Main Menu mode, select the “Off” item
and the “TO OFF” message will appear on the
display, together with the instrument serial
number (on the display bar), which is essential
for the warranty (see warranty section).
DIVE MENU SETTINGS
We conclude this quick guide by looking at how
to set up Nemo Excel for a dive.
From Main Menu mode, press the <+> or <->
buttons until “TO DIVE MODE” appears on the
display. Press the <enter> button to accept this
item.
This accesses the “Dive Menu”.
Using the <+> or <-> buttons you can view the
various menu items. Scroll until “SET DIVE”
appears on the display.
This allows you to set both the operating mode
of the computer for the dive (explained below)
as well as the general dive parameters, which
we will do now.
Press the <enter> button to accept the “SET
DIVE” item. The “DATA” message will now
appear on the display bar (fig. 10).
Fig. 10
Press <enter>again to accept this item as well.
You are now in Set Dive - Data mode, which
enables you to set all the general parameters of
the dive.
SETTING THE DIVE PARAMETERS
In Set Dive - Data you can set the type of
water (which influences the accuracy of the
computer’s depth readings) and the units of
measurement. Be careful, because in this
mode you can also clear the residual nitrogen
memory (see Set Dive section).
To ensure maximum accuracy, you need to
set Nemo Excel for fresh water (“Fresh”) or
seawater (“Salt”) as appropriate (fig. 11).
Fig. 11
You can do this by pressing the <+> or <->
buttons. Remember to check this setting often,
especially if you use Nemo Excel in different
environments: lakes, sea, rivers, swimming
pool. Press the <enter> button to save the
water setting, and then go on to select either
metric (meters and Celsius) or imperial (feet
and Fahrenheit) units of measurement. Press
and hold down the <esc> button for 2 seconds
to go back to Time Mode.
That’s all for the quick guide! Read the full
instruction booklet to learn more. Happy diving
with Nemo Excel!
NOTE
Pressing <esc> during the settings
cancels any changes made and
reverts to the preceding value;
pressing <enter> during the
settings accepts the changes made
and advances to the next parameter,
or returns to the higher menu level.
