SETUP OF TECHNICAL

PARAMETERS

SET mode can be accessed, as shown in Fig. A, by
pressing the <Mode> button from DIVE or SURF
mode, or by pressing the <-> button from CLOCK
mode. 
SET mode is subdivided into five function groups,
SET1.... SET5, as shown in Fig. B. It is possible to
navigate through the different SET function groups
in the following manner:

To enter a given SET function group, press the
<Mode> button for approximately 2 sec. 

Alternatively, press and immediately release the
<Mode> button to skip to the next SET function.

Press and immediately release the <-> button to
go back to the preceding SET function.

From SET5, pressing the <Mode> button saves any
changes made to the settings and goes on to
CLOCK mode. The parameters within a given SET
function group are modified using the <-> button.

in the breathing mix can

be entered in the range between 21% - 50%, in

WARNING

It is essential to correctly set the
oxygen percentage in the breathing mix
to ensure correct readouts of:
- no decompression time remaining
- decompression stop times
- alarm for exceeding maximum

permitted PPO

.

!

WARNING

Do not use mixes with an O

% greater

than 50%.

!

WARNING

If you have completed a NITROX dive and
are planning a repetitive dive using
compressed air, set your dive computer
for NITROX mode with a % O

2

of 21%. In

this way, the monitoring of the % CNS O
