Gauge mode

Stopwatch

In gauge mode, after immersion, Subgear XP-3H will automatically
monitor the dive time and at the same time activate the stopwatch. The
stopwatch will run for a maximum of 24 hours.

Resets time and starts stopwatch from zero.

Each start (restart) of the stopwatch creates a bookmark.

After diving in gauge mode

Subgear XP-3H shows the remaining time span during which it cannot
be used in computer mode. Once the waiting period is over, the gauge
mode can be switched off manually.

The no-fl y time after diving in gauge mode is 48 hours.

Desaturation time will not be displayed.
