Before Diving; Activation, Prechecks And Battery Warning - Suunto Favor Air User Manual

tap switch is used by tapping, pressing or squeezing for example by holding the console
in your right hand and pressing with your right hand thumb the movement sensitive area
on the right hand side of the computer-console. This area is in the middle of the right
side at the level of the "time" water contact text.
The light can be activated on the surface in all modes and during diving. On the surface
only the light will be activated when tapping. During diving the light will be activated
when tapping once and the clock will be displayed when tapping twice.
NOTE: When using the tap switch the lamp goes on for 10 seconds within one second
after releasing the pressure (not by pressing harder). A very small movement is needed
to activate the lamp. During diving the current time is displayed within one second after
releasing the pressure for the second time.
The sensor area is limited in order to minimize unintentional light activation.
With a little try and error you will quickly figure out how to use the tap switch. Do the
practicing in a dark room so you can see when the light goes on.
NOTE: The light can only be activated when the computer is on. The lamp goes
automatically off after approximately 10 seconds from activation.
NOTE: For safety reasons the lamp will not come on or it will turn off after a couple of
seconds, if the battery voltage is low (the low battery symbol is displayed).

3.3 BEFORE DIVING

3.3.1 Activation, Prechecks and Battery Warning

When deactivated the time display is always shown. In this mode the FAVOR AIR is
ready for use and will activate if submerged. However, it is necessary to turn it on before
diving to check the personal/altitude adjustment setting, battery power, cylinder
pressure etc. This is done, either by immersing it in water for a couple of seconds or by
connecting the PLAN/ON and COM contacts with your wet fingertips.
Once activated, the first display, the STARTUP, will turn on showing all available display
elements. A few seconds later the battery power indicator is shown. Next, the two
alternating READY displays will appear confirming that the activation is complete. At
this time, perform your precheck making sure that:
- the FAVOR AIR operates and provides a complete display
- the low battery indicator is not on
- the personal/altitude adjustment setting is correct
- the scuba cylinder valve is open
- the instrument displays correct units (m, C, bar [ft, F, psi])
- the instrument displays correct temperature
- the buzzer beeps
