You can adjust salinity settings here. There are three available modes:
8. Salinity
●
fresh (1 kg / l, such as freshwater lake or river)
●
brackish (1.012 kg / l, such as some estuaries, inland seas, etc.)
●
saline (1.025 kg / l, such as open sea)
By selecting the correct salinity, you ensure that your displayed depth will be accurate. KAON, like
any other depth gauge or computer, in order to measure depth, measures pressure. Depending on water
salinity, there will be a slight variation in pressure at the same depth.
If you are unsure of the water salinity, choose the salinity that your dive / decompression tables were
calibrated to.
In this submenu, you can set all the options connected with time and date.
9. Time/Date
Choose the one you prefer – the AM/PM type time format, or the 24-hour format.
9.1 12h/24h
Time of day, displayed in hours and minutes.
9.2 Time
Month and day
9.3 Date
Current year. The year should be within period of 2010 to 2025.
9.4 Year
The Liquivision KAON uses a silicon oscillator to keep time. Silicon oscillators are far more reliable
than quartz crystals, and are used by NASA in outer space. However, they can have a “drift” that can
cause your unit to gain or lose time at a predictable rate. Should your KAON be noticeably gaining or
losing time, you can follow our Time Calibration Procedure to correct for your unit’s drift.
9.5 Calibrate Time
To perform this procedure, you will need access to the internet and have 48 hours during which you do
not need to dive your KAON. Then, take the following steps:
1. Check that there is no pre-existing time adjustment set up on your unit:
a)
Make sure your KAON is at room temperature and has a working battery in it.
b)
Enter the “Calibrate Time” menu.
c)
Make sure that the 'Daily' value is 0m00s (if not, set it to zero)
d)
Exit that menu, and then exit the main menu
