DIVE TIME MEASUREMENT MODE
The Dive Time Measurement Mode lets you
measure the total time you spend underwater
while diving or snorkeling, and the amount of
time spent on the surface (surface interval). The
watch also stores one set of diving time data
(total dive time and dive start time) into log
memory for later recall.
Warning!
For your own safety, never operate the
buttons of the watch while underwater or
while on the water’s surface. Perform button
operations in a safe place after leaving the
water.
Before Diving/Snorkeling
• Be sure to check if the battery power is low (check for low light
intensity, a dim display, or the flashing
indicator). If it is, do not
use the watch for diving/snorkeling.
• Make sure that the watch is set to the correct time.
• Check the glass, case and band for cracks or chips.
• Make sure that the band is fastened securely around your wrist.
While Diving/Snorkeling
•
Always use the “buddy system” when diving – never dive alone.
• Check to make sure that timer operation is being performed properly.
• Take care when diving/snorkeling near rocks or coral to avoid
scratching the watch.
After Diving/Snorkeling
To avoid corrosion, rinse your watch thoroughly with fresh water to
remove salt water, dirt, etc. When possible, soak the watch in fresh
water overnight to make sure that all salt is removed.
Using the Dive Time Measurement Mode
1. Before diving/snorkeling, switch to the Dive
Time Measurement Mode by holding down
M for at least one second.
2. To start the dive time measurement operation,
press C .
3. To stop the measurement, hold down C for
at least one second (until the watch emits a
long beep).
4. To re-start timing from the dive time shown
on the display, press C .
• You can repeat steps 3 and 4 as many
times as you like.
5. To clear the Dive Time Measurement Mode,
stop the measurement operation (step 3,
above) and then press
A .
Notes
• Timing of the surface interval starts whenever you hold down C to stop
the dive time measurement operation in step 3, above. This timing is
performed internally, and it is not indicated on the Dive Time Measurement
Mode screen. For details on how to view surface interval data, see
“Viewing Log Data”.
• Do not recall log data while a dive time measurement is stopped
and you plan to re-start it. If you do, the dive time to that point will be
stored into memory and the data will be cleared when you exit the Dive
Time Measurement Mode.
Viewing Log Data
1. Hold down M for at least one second to enter
the Timekeeping Mode from the Dive Time
Measurement Mode.
2. Hold down C to display the Log Data screen.
The Log Data screen remains visible as long
as you hold down
C . When you release C ,
the normal Timekeeping Mode screen
returns.
• The surface interval continues to be timed
until you re-start dive time measurement
or until the surface interval reaches 24
hours.
