OVERVIEW
Your
d.i.P
presents the information that you need before, during, and after your Normal (NORM)
or Navigation (NAV) dives using a combination of easy to read displays and identification icons.
• When set to operate in NORM mode, it functions as a digital depth gauge/timer.
• When set to operate in NAV mode, Headings with Countdown Times that are uploaded from
the associated PC Interface program are provided.
• While operating in either NORM or NAV Mode, all data associated with NAV Mode can be
deleted (cleared) if necessary to prevent missions from being retraced.
This instructional guide is intended to help you become familiar with the functions and features
available and show you examples of displays that you could expect to see in the operational
modes. Read through the complete manual thoroughly.
The rules that you learned during your training still apply to the diving you will do while using the
d.i.P
- some will become even more important. Technology is no substitute for common sense and
the
d.i.P
only provides the person using it with data, not the knowledge to use it.
CONTROL BUTTONS
The two Control Buttons allow you to select operating modes and display options, access specific
information when you want to see it, and operate the Backlight. In NAV mode, they allow you to
start/stop Elapsed Dive Time and call up, start/stop NAV SNs (Legs).
The
Left
button (Fig. 1a) is named
A (Advance)
and the
Right
button (Fig. 1b) is named
S (Se-
lect)
.
