After manual activation, it will also check the ambient baro-
metric pressure, and calibrate its present depth as zero. At el-
evations of 2,000 feet (610 meters) or higher, it will recalibrate
itself to measure depth in feet of fresh water instead of feet of
sea water.
If values are acceptable, the unit will enter Surface Mode. If
any value is not acceptable, the unit will shut down in 5 sec-
onds.
If no dive is made within 2 hours after initial activation, the
unit will automatically deactivate. If the wet contacts are still
bridged, the unit will then reactivate and display the H2O
graphic.
SURFACE MODE
Surface Mode, identified by the Surface Time icon (Fig. 17Aa),
follows Diagnostic Mode after Activation. Information includes
Dive Number '0' (no dive made yet), the Battery Consumption In-
dicator, Surface Time (with flashing colon), Temperature (and
icon), and Time of Day (with icon).
NOTE: If the wet contacts are bridged, the graphic
'H2O' will appear in place of the dive number '0'
(Fig. 17B). After the unit is rinsed and dried, 'O'
will replace 'H2O'.
