3. GETTING ACQUAINTED AND DIVING WITH THE FAVOR AIR
This section contains instructions on how to operate the FAVOR AIR and interpret its
displays. Each display has been carefully designed to provide important information you
will need to plan your dive or dive series.
You will find that the FAVOR AIR is easy to use and read. Each display shows only the
data relevant to that specific diving situation. For example, while you are on a dive,
surface interval data is irrelevant and therefore not shown. On the other hand, while you
are on the surface after a dive, remaining no-decompression time for that dive is
irrelevant and therefore replaced with information for your next dive.
3.1 INSTALLATION
When purchasing the FAVOR AIR, have your dealer attach it to the first stage of your
regulator. If you decide to attach it yourself, follow the steps outlined below:
1. Remove the high pressure (HP) port plug on the first stage of your
regulator using an appropriate sized wrench.
2. Thread the high pressure hose of the FAVOR AIR into the port of your
regulator with your fingers. Tighten the hose fitting with a 16 mm [5/8"]
wrench. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
3. Attach the regulator to a charged scuba cylinder. Slowly open the valve.
Check for leaks e.g. by submerging the regulator´s first stage in water. If
leaks are detected, consult your dealer.
CAUTION!
BEFORE DIVING, MAKE SURE THAT THE FAVOR AIR IS PROPERLY ATTACHED
TO THE FIRST STAGE OF YOUR REGULATOR BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER!
3.2 USE OF WATER CONTACTS AND TAP SWITCH
The FAVOR AIR has three water contacts on the face of the instrument:
COM: common contact
PLAN/ON: activation and dive planning contact
TIME/MODE: time display and mode selection contact
The FAVOR AIR also has a movement sensitive tap sensor on the right side of the
console. This is used to activate the backlite and to retrieve the time during diving.
