5.2 Desaturation time
Aladin
®
Sport is in surface-mode. The arrow <DESATURATION> appears; beside
desaturation time in hours and minutes is displayed. Desaturation time is
continually indicated until the next dive or until it reaches zero. The display is
switched off to save energy 3 minutes after the last manipulation (surface-sleep-
mode). Desaturation calculations continue to be made in the background.
– In some cases, desaturation times of the new Aladin
®
Sport are considerably
longer than those of its predecessors, because the calculation model assumes
reduced physical activity at the surface and calculates with shorter half-time
periods.
– If desaturation time reaches the value 0, all tissues are desaturated. Aladin
®
Sport switches into sleep-mode.
