WARNING 

 

 

You must change your battery immediately when the indicator turns red 

Lithium batteries sustain high power for a long time, but once the power starts to drop, it does so very 

fast. A red battery indicator means that the battery power will drop to insufficient power within a few 

minutes. 

 

 
Learn more about your XEO’s battery in the section “

Important Information About XEO Batteries

”. 

“Battery Savings” Mode 

In the event that your battery is very low during the dive, your XEO will go into “Battery Savings” 
mode. It is a mode that tries to preserve the battery as much as possible, so that the XEO keeps 
functioning as long as possible. This mode changes the following things: 
 

 

all the information on the display will turn green (the color that is most power-economical) 

 

the display brightness will be set to low 

 

For more details, please refer to 

 

Battery Savings Mode: When Your Battery Voltage Drops Below A 

Critical Level. 

Exiting the water 

Once you are shallower than 0.6 meters / 2 feet, your XEO will go back into surface mode and offer 
you access to surface menus. 
 
However, for next few minutes, it will remain in post-dive mode. You can control length of this period, 
in menu setting 

Minimum Dive

. This means that if you resume your dive within that period, it will be 

counted as continuation of previous dive, instead of a new one. This also means, that all the numbers, 
such as maximum depth, average depth, dive time, etc. will not be reset. 
 
After that, if you decide to dive again, it will be counted as a new dive. 

Last dive information 

When on the surface, and not in Sleep Mode, your XEO will display information about the last dive 
that you have done. 
 

Surface interval

 – it is time elapsed since your last dive. If it is less than 24 hours, you will see the 

number of hours and minutes. If it is more than 24 hours, you will see number of days and hours. If it is 
more than 10 days ago, you will not see any surface interval. 
 

Last depth

 – is the maximum depth of your last dive, with one decimal place. Depending on your unit 

settings, it will be either in meters, or in feet, and you will see “m” or “ft” printed after the number. 
 

Last time

 – is the total time of the last dive, displayed according to your dive time settings – either as 

total number of minutes, or as hours:minutes.
