3.2.5. ERROR CONDITIONS
The dive computer has warning indicators that alert the user to react to certain
situations that would significantly increased the risk of DCI. If you do not respond
to its warnings, the dive computer will enter an Error Mode, indicating that the risk
of DCI has greatly increased. If you dive sensibly, it is very unlikely you will ever
put the instrument into the Error Mode.
OMITTED DECOMPRESSION
The Error Mode results from omitted decompression, i.e. when you stay above the
ceiling for more than three minutes. During this three-minute period the Er warning
is shown and the audible alarm beeps. After this, the dive computer will enter a
permanent Error Mode. The instrument will continue to function normally if you
descend below the ceiling within this three-minute period.
Once in the permanent Error Mode only the Er warning is shown in the center window.
The dive computer will not show times for ascent or stops. However, all the other
displays will function as before to provide information for ascent. You should
immediately ascend to a depth of 3 to 6 m [10 to 20 ft] and remain at this depth until
air supply limitations require you to surface.
The Error mode will stay for 48 hours, during which time you should not dive.
Whilst Stinger is in Error mode the ASC TIME label will be displayed in the center
window and the Planning Mode will be disabled.
