Section 2: Diving with the Monitor 3 Air

34

Low computer battery

While diving, "bAt' alternates with the maximum depth display. During
Surface Mode or Ready Mode, "bAt" flashes in the maximum depth position.
This indicates battery charge is nearing 0%.

Low transmitter battery

While diving, the "bAt" message
alternates with the cylinder
pressure display. In Ready
Mode or Surface Mode, it
flashes in place of the tank
pressure. This indicates
battery charge is nearing 0%.
