2 Attention messages and alarms
III UWATEC Aladin TEC 2G
Aladin draws the diver’s attention to certain situations and warns the diver of unsafe diving practices.
Attention messages and alarms are visual and / or audible.
• The audible attention messages can be switched off in " set 1 " ->47 or
SmartTRAK. With SmartTRAK they can be switched off selectively.
• In addition, the sound can be turned off completely in " set 2 " ->50.
If you turn off the sound you will have no audible warnings. Without audible
warnings you could inadvertently get into potentially hazardous situations
which could result in death or serious injury.
