DIVE COMPUTER (DC) SURFACE MODE
Pressing and releasing the M button momentarily 5 times (< 2
seconds each time) while the Watch Local Default Time screen
(Main Time or Alternate Time, whichever was selected as the
Default) is displayed accesses the DIVE COMPUTER (DC) SUR-
FACE MODE.
Once accessed by preesing the M button, DC SURFACE MODE
(Fig. 33) will remain on display for 2 hours during which time the
ATOM will enter Dive Mode upon descent below 4 feet (1.2
meters).
• During the 2 hour period, if the M button is pressed to access
other screens in the Watch Mode sequence, DC Surface
Mode must again be accessed prior to the first dive of a
series (if the WET ACTIVATION is set OFF).
• When WET ACTIVATION is set ON, the Wet Contacts will
activate Dive Mode regardless of what Mode the ATOM is
operating in at the time of the descent.
The ATOM will enter POST DIVE SURFACE MODE (Fig. 34)
following a dive upon ascent shallower than 4 feet (1.2 meters).
The Surface Interval time symbol SURFACE will flash during the
first 10 minutes after a dive.
