- you have enough air for your planned dive. You should also check the pressure reading
against your back-up pressure gauge.
The FAVOR AIR is now ready for diving. If the FAVOR AIR is not taken on a dive after
activation, it will automatically switch off to the time display after 10 minutes to conserve
the battery power.
The FAVOR AIR does not need to be reactivated for repetitive dives. It will remain
active until it has calculated that all residual nitrogen has off-gassed. This may take up
to 48 hours, as described in Section 6.1, "Operating Principles".
If the battery symbol is displayed the FAVOR AIR should not be used.
Personal Adjustment and High Altitude Diving
WARNING!
SET THE CORRECT PERSONAL/ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT MODE!
When diving at altitudes greater than 700 m [2300 ft] the personal/altitude adjustment
feature must be correctly selected in order for the computer to calculate the
no-decompression status. The diver should also use this option to make the
calculations more conservative, whenever it is believed that factors which tend to
increase the possibility of decompression sickness exist (see Section 3.6). Failure to
properly select the personal/altitude adjustment mode correctly will result in erroneous
data and can greatly increase the risk of decompression sickness.
WARNING!
THE FAVOR AIR IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE AT ALTITUDES GREATER THAN
2400 m (8000 ft)!
Diving at altitudes above this limit may significantly increase the risk of decompression
sickness.
If you are diving at higher altitudes, make sure that the altitude mode has been set
according to the altitude of your dive site.
For information on how to select the correct altitude setting and how to use the personal
adjustment, see Section 3.6, "Personal Adjustment and High Altitude Dives".
Battery Power Indicator And Low Battery Warning
The FAVOR AIR has a unique graphic Battery Power Indicator designed to give you an
advance notice of impending need to change the battery.
The Battery Power Indicator will always be seen during activation for three seconds. The
following table 3.1 shows the various warning levels.
