5.6. Audible and visual alarms
The dive computer has audible and visual alarms that advise when important limits are
approached or that prompt you to acknowledge preset alarms. The table below describes
the different alarms and their meanings.

Alarm indication
Three beeps with a one second interval for
the maximum of three minutes. The PO
value blinks.
Three beeps with a one second interval for
the maximum of 24 seconds. The PO
blinks.
Two beeps with a one-and-a-half second
interval. The OLF% value blinks if the PO
value is greater than 0.5 bar.
Two beeps with a one-and-a-half second
interval for three minutes. The Er symbol
blinks and an arrow points downwards.
Two beeps with a one-and-a-half second
interval for three minutes. An arrow points
downwards.
Three beeps with a one second interval for
24 seconds. The SLOW symbol blinks.
Two beeps with a one and a half second in-
terval for the duration of the deepstop viola-
tion. DEEPSTOP blinks and an arrow points
downwards.
Two beeps with a one-and-a-half second
interval. Tank pressure blinks.
Two beeps with a one-and-a-half second
interval for 24 seconds. ASC TIME blinks
and an arrow points upwards.
Two beeps with a one-and-a-half second
interval. Gas mix value (O
blinks.
Three beeps with a one second interval.

Alarm reason
PO
value is greater than the adjusted value.
2
Current depth is too deep for the gas in use.
You should immediately ascend or change
to a gas with a lower oxygen percentage.
PO
value is smaller than 0.18 bar. The
2
depth is too shallow and the ambient pres-
sure is too low for the current gas. The oxy-
gen content is too low to keep you con-
scious. You should immediately switch the
gas.
In MIXED GAS mode, the OLF value
reaches the fixed 80% or 100%. You can
acknowledge the alarm.
Decompression ceiling depth is exceeded.
You should immediately descend to, or be-
low, the ceiling.
Mandatory safety stop is violated. You
should immediately descend.
Maximum allowed ascent rate, 10 m per min
/ 33 ft per min, is exceeded.
Mandatory deepstop is violated. You should
immediately descend.
Cylinder pressure reaches the selected
alarm pressure, 10 - 200 bar.
Cylinder pressure reaches the fixed alarm
pressure, 50 bar.
No-decompression dive turns into a decom-
pression stop dive.
Depth is below the decompression floor
level. You should immediately ascend to, or
above, the floor.
Gas change is required. You should imme-
diately change to a gas more favorable to
decompression. ASC TIME assumes that
the gas is changed immediately and is accur-
ate only if you change the gas.
The deepstop depth is reached. Make the
mandatory deepstop for the duration shown
by the timer.
