2. GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH THE DIVE COMPUTER

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE DIVING! Failure to complete this step may result
in serious personal injury.

The purpose of this section is to provide the user with initial information to preview the operation of the computer. Since this
information is limited, it is imperative that you read and understand the entire owner’s manual before attempting to dive.

2.1 WATER CONTACTS

The dive computer 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

On the surface the instrument is operated by simultaneously touching the COM contact and one or two of the other contacts.
When doing this, your finger tips should be wet or moist to establish the necessary electric contact. When submerged these
contacts are automatically connected by the conductivity of the water.
