G. Diving Mode
When the watch is immersed in the water, while it is set in the Time
mode and the battery is charged enough for diving, the water sensor
senses the water and switches the watch to Diving mode to measure the
depth. In the Diving mode, the watch automatically memorizes the maxi-
mum depth of the last dive and the user can recall it after the dive.
* If the function hand and mode hand
don't point to their respectively
specified positions (mode hand:
"DV" position, function hand: "O"
position) when the watch enters the
Diving mode (standby status),
adjust the hand positions referring
to section "1. Measures against
possible problems".
<Depth indication>
Indication range: 0 to 50 m (O to 125 ft) deep (measured every second)
Indication unit: 1 m/5 ft (Decimals of five and above in the first decimal
place are rounded up and anything under five in the first decimal place is
rounded down.
Depth less than 1 m/5 ft is indicated as 1 m/0 ft.)
<Manner to read depth indication>
When the watch reaches the depth of 1 m/5 ft or more in diving, it starts
measuring the depth. In diving, the indication by the function hand
represents the depth.
*
When the depth is less than 1 m/5 ft, the function hand indicates 0-m/0
ft.
*
When the depth exceeds 50 m (1 25 ft), the function hand stops at the
over-zone mark (52-seconds position) to show that the depth is out of the
indication range. As the diver ascends in the water and the depth is less
than 50 m (1 25 ft), the watch again indicates the depth.
* Wet detection error indication
If the diving standby mode (water sensor is in action) continues for 1 hour or
more, the function hand points at the over-zone mark.
If the watch remains in this status for a long time, refer to section "1.
Measures against possible problems".
<How to cancel the Diving mode>
(1)
Press button
(A)
for 2 seconds after diving or in the water where it is
less than 1 m (5 ft) deep (depth indication: 0-m/0 ft). The Diving mode
is canceled and the watch returns to the Time mode.
(2)
When the watch is left for 10 minutes after diving or in the water where
it is less than 1m (5 ft) deep (depth indication: 0 m/0 ft), the watch
automatically returns to the Time mode with cancellation of the Diving
mode. If the watch is again immersed in the water 1 m (5-ft) or more
deep within 10 minutes after the last dive, the new dive is regarded as
a continuation of the last dive and the watch continues to measure
depth.
