CHOOSE DESIRED COMPUTER MODE FOR FREE DIVE
SELECTION OF SPECIFIC FREE DIVING PROGRAM.
Drake, as we said, has 4 pre-set programs suitable to the main disciplines of free diving. To set the desired
program, it is necessary to access to the underwater computer (during access you will notice at the bottom
of the display the program set at the time) and once in the pre-dive screen scroll with UP or DOWN buttons
until the MODE-S menu. Press the MODE button. The program set at that time will appear at the bottom of
the display. Subsequently, press the UP or DOWN buttons to scroll through the other programs. Once you
reach the one you want, confirm it by holding down the Mode button for a few seconds until hearing an
acoustic signal confirming the exit out of the menu. Continue pressing and holding the Mode button to
return to the watch function (after another acoustic signal). Alternatively, after the last time the buttons are
pressed, the computer will modify the automatic setting by issuing an acoustic signal to return then to the
main screen, and then it will automatically shut down.
NB: Drake is set by default with the FREE program and alarms off.
FREE PROGRAM.
This program has been designed to provide the main data necessary for deep diving. Its special display
shows in the central part the most important data of that moment, alternating the depth (during the dive)
and the recovery time (as soon as it is on the surface). Its peculiarity is that is easy to use and the visibility
of the important data which are always in the centre of the display. It is a program designed for those
dedicated to free diving without the need to conduct a comprehensive analysis of its performance. Very
suitable for underwater fishermen. Perfect for snorkelling and for those who practice intensively the
discipline of sea-running or advanced snorkelling where you swim along the coast intensely alternating
dives of deep diving.
When the FREE program is set on the display, the following information appears:
On surface.
- At the top left of the display: Maximum depth reached during the last dive.
- At the top right: During the last dive.
- At the centre: Surface or recovery time.
- By scrolling with the UP or DOWN buttons down in succession: time, number of diving and minimum
water temperature, Recommended Recovery Time (recovery time calculated based on the TR-Time Ratio
pre-set by the user).
When diving.
- At the top left: Maximum depth reached.
- At the top right: Diving time.
- At the centre: Current depth.
Always visible:
- Sea water or fresh water setting icon.
- Acoustic alarms icon activated.
If you want to have more information about your dives, once you set the FREE program you can
immediately access "on-fly" to the PRO program simply by pressing the LIGHT button for a few seconds
(see PRO program).
How to use the FREE program.
Once in the program just dive and Drake will automatically display the data andwill start various counts. So
it will be for the entire session of deep diving. On the surface to displaythe information available just press
the UP or DOWN button. In the case of passage to programs STATIC or DYNAMIC Drake will close the
current session.
