Adjusting the Transceiver Power Setting
NOTE: Increasing the power setting increases the audible noise and transmission range of the transceiver and
decreases its battery life.
1 Hold MENU.
2 Select Dive Setup > Dive Network & Air Integration > Transmitters.
3 Select a paired transceiver.
4 Select Set Transmit Power.
5 Enter the transceiver ID.
NOTE: The transceiver ID is printed on the housing.
6 Select an option.
My transceiver battery is draining rapidly
If your transceiver battery is draining faster than the expected battery life (
), you should
make sure the transceiver is returning to low power mode after a dive.
When you return to the surface after a dive, depressurize your regulator.
The installed transceiver enters low power mode after two minutes have elapsed.
My transceiver makes an audible noise while diving
The transceiver makes an audible noise when transmitting data over the SubWave sonar network during normal
operation. Sonar signals are noticeable while diving, and because sound travels better through water than radio
waves, the SubWave sonar network has longer range than traditional radio-based products. The SubWave sonar
network uses a lower power signal (1 W to 10 W) than traditional marine sonar systems (around 1000 W).
Testing has not indicated any disturbance to sea life.
You can decrease the power setting to reduce the audible noise from the transceiver (
).
