If PO2 continues to increase, the value displayed will increase to-
ward a maximum value of 5.00 ATA in increments of .01 ATA.
When it reaches a value of
1.60 ATA
,
or the PO2 Alarm set
point (a user setting),
the Audible Alarm will sound (unless set
OFF) and the current PO2 value, PO2 symbol, O2 segment of the
O2 Bar Graph, and UP Arrow will flash as a warning until PO2 de-
creases (Fig. 59).
WARNING: In the event that you enter High PO2
Dive Mode, you must immediately focus on reduc-
ing the partial pressure of oxygen by slowly as-
cending to a shallower depth at a safe rate in ac-
cordance with your nitrox training. If you continue
the dive at your current depth, or descend deeper,
your exposure to CNS oxygen toxicity will in-
crease.
While in High PO2 Mode, the Alternate Displays previously de-
scribed can be accessed using the Advance (Front) button, and the
Backlight can be activated using the Select (Side) button.
While in High PO2 Mode, the ATMOS 2 will automatically
revert to the Main Display after 3 seconds unless the Advance
(Front) button is pressed to view another display of information.
