Installation and Setup

 CAUTION

To ensure proper setup and best performance, it is strongly 

recommended that you complete the first time installation and 

setup at a dive shop. You should fully test the transmitter 

installation above and below water before using it during a dive.

Transmitter Position Tips

The transmitter communicates wirelessly with your compatible 

dive computer. On the surface, it uses ANT

®

 technology. 

Underwater, it uses a sonar signal. Your body, drysuit, and dive 

equipment can obstruct the signal, particularly while underwater. 

For the best reception, all transmitters in your group should have 

clear lines of sight to the dive computer. To help prevent 

blocking the signal with your body or equipment, you should 

follow these tips.
• You should install the transmitter at least 7 cm (3 in.) from 

your body.

• You should install the transmitter on the same side of the 

tank as the wrist wearing your dive computer. For example, if 

you wear your dive computer on your left wrist, you should 

install the transmitter on the left side of the tank regulator.

• For the best reception, you should wear the tank high on your 

back. This allows the transmitter to have a clear line of sight 

over your shoulders.

• If you wear your tank inverted with the regulator at the 

bottom, you can use a high-pressure hose to relocate the 

transmitter to have a clear line of sight over your shoulders.

• If you lose the signal from your transmitter, you should move 

your arm until the signal is restored.

• If you lose the signal from another diver, you should change 

your body position until the signal is restored. If your body is 

between the dive computer and another diver, it may obstruct 

the signal from that diver's transmitter.

Installing the Transmitter on Your Tank 

Regulator

 WARNING

Always use the pre-installed flow restrictor when using the 

transmitter directly attached to your regulator. Always use the 

included air spool when connecting the transmitter to a high 

pressure hose extension (

Installing the Transmitter on a High 

Pressure Hose Extension

, page 2

). Using the transmitter 

without either the flow restrictor or air spool could result in 

serious injury or death from an air pressurization failure.

Before you install the transmitter on your tank regulator, you 

should read the transmitter position tips and choose the port 

position that provides the best line of sight to the dive computer.
To install the transmitter, you need a 

5

/

8

 in. (16 mm) open-ended 

wrench.
The transmitter connects to a high pressure output port of the 

first-stage regulator.

1

Confirm the regulator is depressurized and detached from a 

scuba cylinder.

2

Remove the port plug from the high pressure output port of 

the first-stage regulator.

3

Confirm the flow restrictor is installed in the transmitter.

4

Screw the transmitter onto the high pressure output port until 

you feel resistance.

 WARNING

Verify the installed transmitter does not physically interfere 

with any hoses or other tank assemblies.

5

Use a 

5

/

8

 in. (16 mm) wrench to tighten the transmitter.
