4. Accessing Display Modes
There are some display modes that the IQ-800 enters and/or exits
automatically. For example, by taking the IQ-800 underwater, you
automatically activate its Dive Mode. Upon surfacing your IQ-800
will automatically enter Time Mode.
To access other modes, you may need to push one of the three
large buttons on the sides of the IQ-800. These are the A, B, and C
buttons. (Fig. 1)
You will find these buttons easy to use. In some instances, you may
need to press a button once and release it to achieve the desired
result. In other instances, you may need to hold the button down
until you get the result you wish. This manual will outline clearly
which procedure to follow for each mode or task.
Throughout this manual display icons that blink are shown
surrounded by gray bars.
Experts recommend divers wait at least 24 hours following any dive
before flying in an aircraft or driving to altitude.
Failure to allow
sufficient surface interval before doing so may substantially
increase the risk of Decompression Illness (DCI).
Do not plan dives to depths deeper than those for which the IQ-800 is
capable of displaying an available No-Decompression Limit. Doing so
could cause you to exceed the No-Decompression Limits or limiting
PO2 of 1.6 bar, which may in turn substantially increase your risk of
decompression illness or CNS Oxygen Toxicity and can lead to
serious
personal injury or death.
