1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your choice of the FAVOR AIR dive computer. The FAVOR AIR is a
compact and sophisticated dive instrument that will give you years of troublefree and
joyful diving. The FAVOR AIR dive computer will provide you with important information
that you will need during, between, and after your dives.
Key Features
The FAVOR AIR is equipped with a sophisticated electroluminescent LUX backlite
display, which does not significantly reduce battery life because of the highly energy-
efficient system design and because the lamp goes off automatically after
approximately 10 seconds from activation. The electroluminescent lamp will give
excellent backlite quality in darkness and low ambient light conditions. The backlite is
not visible during daylight.
The FAVOR AIR monitors and reports vital information such as your dive time, current
depth, maximum depth, no-decompression time, cylinder pressure, remaining air time
and ascent rate. It will also give you information, if through carelessness or emergency
you are forced to exceed the no-decompression limits for any dive.
The FAVOR AIR features versatile logbook memory capabilities and a history memory
for long-term historical data.
The instrument can be adjusted for diving at different altitudes or to add an extra level of
conservativeness to the diving if desired.
The FAVOR AIR has a built-in calendar and clock. The calendar time display can also
be activated when diving.
The screen is protected against scratches and damage by an easily replaceable shield.
The FAVOR AIR is available as a console. The modular construction allows for a
separate compass module to be attached to the console at a later stage.
Metric and Imperial Units
All examples in this manual are shown in metric units, including meters, bars and C.
The corresponding imperial units are shown in brackets. The FAVOR AIR is also
available with imperial units, i.e. feet, psi and F.
WARNING!
VERIFY THAT THE UNITS OF MEASURE, WHETHER METRIC OR IMPERIAL, ARE
CORRECT BEFORE DIVING!
Any confusion resulting from improper selection of units may cause the diver to commit
errors that may lead to serious injury.
