3.9. ERROR CONDITIONS

The dive computer has warning indicators that alert the user to react to

certain situations that would significantly increase 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

understand and operate the dive computer 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.
After surfacing, you should not dive for a minimum of 48 hours. During

the permanent Error Mode, the Er text will be displayed in the center

window and the Planning Mode will be disabled.
