Low Battery Condition
Voltage level is checked upon activation and every 10 minutes dur-
ing operation.
If a Low Battery Condition exists when the unit is activated (by
pressing the button), the Battery icon will appear flashing once
per second for 5 seconds (Fig. 8) followed by shutdown of the
unit.
If the button is not pressed to activate the unit prior to a dive,
and a Low Battery Condition exists, the Low Battery icon will
appear flashing as a warning upon descent past 4 feet (1.2
meters). No other information will be displayed.
If the unit did not display the Low Battery icon 'prior to' enter-
ing the Dive Mode, and a Low Battery Condition occurs during
the dive, there will be sufficient battery power to maintain unit
operation for the remainder of 'that dive'. The Low Battery icon
will appear upon surfacing when Surface Mode is displayed.
When the Battery is removed, nitrogen and oxygen calculations for
repetitive dives are reset to zero after 8 seconds. Also, settings
such as Time, Date, and FO2 must be reset. If a new battery can be
inserted within 8 seconds, the calculations and settings will be re-
tained.
NOTE: Battery change procedures are described
on page 84 of this manual.
