BASICS
The Sage is an easy to use dive computer utilizing a three button interface. Divers may choose between either Air/NX (dive) or Gauge Mode.
Though the Sage is easy to use, you will get the most out of your new Sage if you take some time to familiarize yourself with its displays and opera-
tion. Information has been organized into easy to follow sections to aid you in learning all you need to know. There is also a glossary at the end of
this guide for any terms that may sound unfamiliar to you.
INITIAL ACTIVATION
To activate the Sage, press and release any button. The Sage will also turn on if its metal contacts become wet and you descend below 5 ft (1.5 m)
for 5 seconds.
• Upon activation, the unit will display the start up screen and perform a diagnostic check. The Sage checks the display and voltage at this time to
ensure that everything is within tolerance.
• It will also check ambient barometric pressure, and calibrate present depth as 0 ft (m). When at 3001 ft (916 m), or higher, it will adjust for the
higher altitude.
• After the Diagnostic check, the Sage will display the AIR/NX or Gauge Surface screen (or Dive Main if wet activation).
NOTE: The Sage has no off button or command. If no buttons are pressed or dives made, the unit will enter
sleep mode after 2 minutes. Within 2 hours of no buttons being pressed or dives made, the unit will shut itself
off. However, the Sage will stay on for a 24 hour period after a dive, counting down FLY (time to fly) and DE-
SAT (desaturation time) if a dive has been made.
POWER
The Sage has a user replaceable battery. To provide maximum flexibility, the Sage is compatible with lithium (CR123A 3.0V: Duracel® or Panoson-
ic™) or rechargeable lithium (RCR123A 3.7V: Nitecore®, Olight™) batteries. Other brands of batteries have not been fully tested by Sherwood and
are not recommended for use in you Sage computer. Standard lithium batteries average 55-60 dive hours at 60% brightness (40-45 hours at 100%
brightness) before needing to be replaced. If using rechargeable options, charge the battery fully before use. With a full charge you can expect to
average 40-45 dive hours at 60% brightness (30-35 hours at 100% brightness) before needing to recharge.
The battery should be replaced or recharged before use when the low battery warning is displayed on the dive main screen. Keep in mind that the
Sage's color screen is the biggest draw of power. Using full brightness settings will reduce the interval between charges or battery replacement.
This setting can be fully customized to your preferences in the Sage settings. Additionally, the Sage screen will sleep after 2 minutes of inactivity to
conserve power. Pressing any button will wake the screen up again.
BATTERY CHARGER
Use only a Sherwood recommended charger designed for use with RCR123A rechargeable lithium cells. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations
on proper charging.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
NOTE: The procedures that follow must be closely adhered to avoid entrance of water into the unit. Damage due to improper battery replacement
(or subsequent leakage of moisture into the unit) is not covered by the Sage's warranty.
The battery compartment should be opened only in a dry and clean environment with extreme care taken to prevent the entrance of moisture or
dust.
As an additional precautionary measure to prevent formation of moisture in the battery compartment, it is recommended that the battery be
changed in an environment equivalent to the local outdoor temperature and humidity (e.g., do not change the battery in an air conditioned environ-
ment then take it outside during a hot sunny day).
Inspect the buttons, lens, and housing to ensure they are not cracked or damaged. If there is any sign of moisture in the Sage,
DO NOT
attempt to
use it for diving until it receives proper service by Sherwood.
Data Retention
When the battery is removed, settings and nitrogen/oxygen calculations for repetitive dives will be retained in volatile memory until a new battery is
installed. You will have the choice of clearing or restoring the data. The Compass will also need to be calibrated after the new battery is installed.
WARNING: Clearing the data removes all tissue loading calculations. It should only be chosen if more than 24 hours have passed since the last
dive ended.
All parts needed for the battery change that follows are provided in the Sage Battery Kit available from your Sherwood dealer.
Battery Removal
• Locate the battery cover on the end of the housing.
• Apply a coin to the recessed slot of the cover and turn it counterclockwise out of the housing.
• Remove the Battery and discard it according to local regulations governing disposal of Lithium batteries.
