WARNING - If the words “LOW BATT” appear immediately after
activation, Oceanic strongly recommends that you DO NOT dive
until you have obtained battery replacement - especially if you are
starting out on a multi-day dive trip. Although there will usually be
enough voltage to complete one full day of diving, the voltage level
can drop quickly when the batteries experience a sudden tempera-
ture change. (See battery replacement procedure on pages 45-48.)
2. SURFACE MODE
Surface Mode immediately follows Diagnostic Mode after initial activa-
tion (Fig 8). It also appears after a dive when you ascend shallower than 3
feet. Surface Mode is identified by the Mode Label “SURFACE” immediately
above the Surface Time display. Information available in Surface Mode is
Dive #, Surface Time, Depth, and the Tissue Loading Bar Graph.
3. PRE DIVE PLANNING SEQUENCE ™ (PDPS) MODE
One minute after activation, the Pre Dive Planning Sequence will display
(Fig. 9). The PDPS displays the Mode Label “PLAN” at the top of the LCD.
This mode automatically scrolls through depths from 30 to 160 feet, in ten
foot increments, showing predicted no-decompression dive times based upon
your previous dive profiles. The PDPS automatically replaces Surface Mode
once each minute. The information displayed is Previous Dive #, Depth, and
No-decompression Dive Time.
