SECTION 5 - INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
5.1 WATCH MODE
The default surface mode for COSMIQ is Watch Mode. The display screen will enter Standby
automatically after 20 seconds of inactivity in Watch Mode. To turn on the display, press any button.
To navigate to other modes, press the MODE button.
Watch Mode is pre-programmed to display the current time and the current date. You can change
the settings so that COSMIQ will show the date of your last dive instead of the current date by
accessing Settings in the Deepblu app.
5.1.1 Dive Plan Function
The Dive Plan function allows you to prepare for an upcoming dive by calculating how long you
can safely remain at various depths without surpassing no decompression limits and requiring a
decompression stop. As you scroll through the various depths, a corresponding no decompression
limit will show for that depth.
The Dive Plan function can be accessed before your first dive as well as during a surface interval
between dives. During a surface interval, or within 24 hours of a previous dive, COSMIQ takes into
account the calculated residual nitrogen levels in your body when determining no decompression
limits. COSMIQ also takes into consideration the the percentage of oxygen in the gas you will be
breathing, calculating no decompression limits based on the percentage of oxygen currently set in
Scuba Mode.
5.1.2 Planning a Dive
To access the Dive Plan function, press the ADJUST button one time if COSMIQ's display is in Watch
Mode or two times if it is in Standby. You will hear a beep and the screen will change to show the
word 'PLAN' as well as a value for depth and a value for the corresponding no decompression limit.
When you first enter the Dive Plan screen the minimum depth displayed is 9 meters/30 feet. It is
visible in the bottom left corner of the display screen. Press the ADJUST button to scroll though
different depths in increments of 1 meter/3 feet. The deepest depth it will display is 40 meters/135
feet. You can hold the ADJUST button to toggle through the depth and time continuously.
The corresponding no decompression limit is displayed in minutes in the bottom right corner of
the display screen. No decompression limits will be shorter depending on the presence of residual
nitrogen in your body. COSMIQ will show a series of three horizontal dashes ( - - - ) instead of a time
value if the no decompression limit is greater than 300 minutes.
The Dive Plan function will not display depths beyond the no decompression limit or beyond the
maximum operating depth (MOD). If you reach a depth with a corresponding no decompression
limit of zero (0), or if a combination of depth and oxygen level exceeds the safe MOD, you will not be
able to scroll further than that depth. The depth will go back to 9 meters/30 feet and start the cycle
again. You should limit your dive plan to depths shallower than the deepest depth that is displayed
in the Dive Plan screen.
