be activated by setting the MIX2 and/or MIX3 “ON” and ente-
ring other parameters in the same way as on the primary gas.
Mix 2 and 3 settings are held until you change them (they will
not return to default settings automatically). Cylinder pressure
data is available for one wireless transmitter only. A dive is al-
