ACTIVATION

WARNING:  If the unit is activated at elevations

higher than 14,000 feet (4,267 meters), it will per-

form a diagnostic check and immediately shutdown.

To Activate the Versa Pro  press and release the
Advance (Front) Button.

•  Upon manual activation, the unit will enter Diagnostic

Mode (Fig. 14), displaying all segments of the LCD as 8's,
followed by dashes (- -), then a countdown from 9 to 0.
Diagnostic Mode checks the display and battery voltage to
ensure that everything is within tolerance and functioning
properly.

•  When the front (Advance) button is held depressed when

the Diagnostic countdown reaches 00, an External Access
request is initiated.  A Serial Number screen appears
displaying the unit’s Serial Number and firmware code
Revision Number as long as the button is held depressed
(Fig. 15).  Upon releasing the button, the unit shuts Off.

•  After manual activation, it will also check the ambient

barometric pressure, and calibrate its present depth as
zero.  At elevations of 2,000 feet (610 meters) or higher, it
will recalibrate itself to measure depth in feet of fresh water
instead of feet of sea water.
