OPERATIONAL MODES
The DataMax Sport operates in ten different modes. The visual differ-
ence between modes is quite evident depending on when you view the display.
Even so, Mode Labels identify the various displays to eliminate confusion.
1. DIAGNOSTIC MODE/ACTIVATION
Diagnostic Mode is displayed immediately following activation. After
pressing and releasing the activation button (Fig. 7a), Diagnostic Mode will
display all “eights” followed by dashes, and then a countdown from 9 to 0. It
will then enter Surface Mode signalling a successful diagnostic check. During
the countdown, the Sport checks its display functions and battery voltage to
ensure everything is working properly.
WARNING - Never activate the DataMax Sport if the computer is
underwater. This may result in inaccurate depth and no-decom-
pression time displays. Activation is not possible deeper than ten
feet underwater.
If two hours elapse after activation without making a dive, the Sport will
deactivate to save battery power. Be sure to check your computer
before entering the water to ensure it doesn’t need reactivation.
During Diagnostic Mode, the DataMax Sport measures its own battery
voltage level. If there is not enough battery power to complete a day of
diving, the DataMax Sport will either deactivate itself or not activate at all.
