5.8. Activation and pre-checks
This section describes how to activate the DIVE mode and explains the pre-checks that
it is highly recommended you perform before you get into the water.
5.8.1. Accessing DIVE mode
The Suunto Vyper2 has three diving modes: AIR mode for diving with standard air only,
NITROX mode for diving with oxygen enriched mixtures, and GAUGE mode for use as a
bottom timer. The OFF mode disables the DIVE mode, and allows the TIME mode to be
used underwater. The chosen dive mode is displayed when the DIVE mode is accessed,
and you can toggle between the submodes by pressing the UP/DOWN buttons.
5.8.2. DIVE mode activation
The dive computer activates automatically when submerged deeper than 0.5 m/1.5 ft.
However, it is necessary to activate the DIVE mode BEFORE diving to check the altitude
and personal adjustment settings, battery condition, oxygen settings etc.
After activation, all display elements turn on showing mostly figure 8s and graphical
elements, and the backlight and the beep are activated. After this, the selected altitude
and personal settings are displayed, as well as the RGBM and Deep Stop status. A few
seconds later the battery power indicator is shown.
At this time, perform your pre-checks, making sure that:
•
the instrument operates in the correct mode and provides a complete display
(AIR/NITROX/GAUGE mode)
• the battery level is ok
• the altitude, personal adjustment, Safety/Deep stops, and RGBM settings are correct
• the instrument displays correct units of measurement (Metric/Imperial)
• the instrument displays the correct temperature and depth (0.0 m/0 ft)
• the alarm beeps
