Activation
The CTU will automatically activate when it senses an Oxygen level at or above
the turn-on set point programmed by the user or by using the power activator
area (the “PWR” symbol inside the circular, crosshatched imprint on the left side
of the case lid). A sharp rap on this area with the edge of a coin works best. The
CTU will issue five "beeps" when it activates using either method.
NOTE: If the CTU is in the Altitude Adaptation Mode, four beeps, rather
than five, will be issued.
NOTE: The CTU must be in less than 3 feet of water in order to
activate. At depths below three feet the CTU will not turn on manually
or by sensing elevated O2 levels. It is strongly recommended that the
LifeguardTM is activated on the surface shortly before beginning the
dive, so that its proper operation can be confirmed at the same time
other routine equipment checks are performed.
Shut-Off
You cannot manually turn the CTU off. The CTU will turn off:
1. After 30 minutes if no elevated PO
2
is sensed and no dive is made
2. The Oxygen level drops below the preset activation threshold.
3. All 12 nitrogen half-time compartments are completely "off-gassed" on
repetitive dives.
After a dive the
Lifeguard
TM
CTU will remain on for 40 minutes before
automatically enter a "sleep" mode to conserve battery life. During this sleep
mode, all off-gassing calculations continue to run, but the CTU does not transmit
this data. To view current surface interval, time-to-fly, and other data, re-activate
the CTU just as would be done when first turning it on. Once “awakened” from
its sleep mode, the CTU will remain in active mode for one hour before
reentering the sleep mode. This assumes, of course that no repetitive dive is
initiated between each wake-up.
NOTE: The LIFEGUARD™ will not enter the Sleep Mode or turn off as
long as the PO
2
sensor is exposed to an oxygen level above the user
programmed turn-on set point.
To activate the WU, perform one of the following for five seconds (or until the
display becomes active): (1) rotate your wrist or (2) tap continuously on the lower
left corner of the face. Care has been taken to reduce the occurrence of the WU
being accidentally activated during transport, the WU may have to be rotated or
tapped for a longer period of time. The same rotating or tapping action is used to
select the alternate screen. The alternate screen is shown for three seconds
before returning to the normal screen. The TACLITE™ active backlighting for the
