2 Operation / 3 SOS mode
3 SOS mode
Activation: automatic
If the diver remains above a depth of 0.8m (3 feet) for more than three minu-
tes without observing a prescribed decompression, the computer will automa-
tically switch into SOS mode after the dive.
The display shows the "SOS" sign and the remaining length of the SOS mode.
The dive will be entered in the logbook with "SOS". Other than that the SOS
mode has no further impact on the displays and functions on the surface.
• Serious injury or death may result if a diver does
not seek immediate treatment should any signs
or symptoms of decompression sickness occur
after a dive.
• Do not dive to treat symptoms of decompression sickness!
• Diving in SOS mode is extremely dangerous and you must assume full
responsibility for such behaviour. UWATEC will assume no liability.
Once in the SOS mode, the computer will lock up and will be inoperable as a
diving instrument for 24 hours.
A diving accident can be analyzed at any time in the logbook and downloaded
to a PC by means of the infrared interface (IrDA) and the SmartTRAK software.

2.6 Active backlight
The display of TEC can be illuminated both on the surface and
underwater.
The backlight can be activated by pushing and holding button
for 1 second. The light will turn off automatically after 8
seconds or after the time selected via SmartTRAK.
The backlight can only be activated if the computer display is on.
2.7 Switching off the display
On the surface TEC switches off automatically after 3 minutes without
operation.
The active backlight is no substitute
for a dive torch. When diving at
night or at increased depth we
recommend the use of a dive torch.
