Pairing the Transceiver with a Descent Watch
Before you use the transceiver for the first time, you must pair it with the a compatible Descent watch using
ANT technology.
For more information about compatible watch models, go to the Descent T2 transceiver product page on
1 Wake the transceiver from low power mode (
Waking the Transceiver from Low Power Mode, page 8
).
2 On your Descent watch, hold MENU, and select Dive Setup > Dive Network & Air Integration > Transmitters >
Add New.
The watch starts searching and displays a list of nearby transceivers.
3 From the list of transceivers, select the transceiver ID you want to pair.
The transceiver ID is printed on the housing.
When the pairing process is complete, the transceiver begins sending data, and it is ready to use on a dive. The
next time the transceiver and watch are turned on and within wireless range, they connect automatically when
you start a dive.
If you are diving with a group, you can pair up to 8 Descent transceivers with the watch.
Transceiver Settings
You can customize the settings for paired transceivers prior to a dive.
On the paired Descent watch, hold MENU, select Dive Setup > Dive Network & Air Integration > Transmitters,
and select a transceiver.
Status: Enables a connection to the transceiver, and shows the current connection status.
Placement: Sets the transceiver location as either your own tank or that of another diver.
Public Tank Name: Allows you to associate a name with your transceiver, which will be visible to your dive
group.
NOTE: If you customize this name, another option appears in the list to clear the name.
Nickname: Allows you to associate a nickname with another user's transceiver, which will be visible on your dive
data screens.
NOTE: If you customize this name, another option appears in the list to clear the name.
Identify: Plays a tone on the selected paired transceiver. This helps you to identify the transceiver without
needing to look at the transceiver ID printed on the transceiver housing.
Working Pressure: Sets how much pressure the tank has when full. This value is used to determine the upper
end of the pressure gauge, and to calculate respiratory minute volume (RMV) for tanks using psi units.
Reserve Pressure: Sets the threshold values for reserve pressure and critical pressure alerts to appear on the
watch.
Volume: Allows you to enter the air volume of the tank. You can use the Reset Volume option if you move the
transceiver to a different size tank.
NOTE: This value is required to calculate volumetric surface air consumption (SAC) and respiratory minute
volume (RMV) (
Selecting the Gas Consumption Rate Metric, page 10
).
SAC/RMV/ATR: Enables the transceiver to be included in volumetric surface air consumption (SAC), respiratory
minute volume (RMV), and air time remaining (ATR) estimates (
Including Transceivers in Gas Consumption
).
Set Transmit Power: Allows you to adjust the power setting if your transceiver is losing connection with the
paired watch underwater.
About: Displays the transceiver ID, software version, and battery status.
Remove: Allows you to remove a paired transceiver.
