  • Page 4: Warning

    WARNING Decompression meter firmfare calculates theoretical tissue saturation with inert gases based on a mathematical model. This model was made thanks to a variety of experimental data with the latest decompression theory developments. Nevetherless, using the dive computer, as well as decompression tables cannot guarantee complete protection against Decompression Decease (DD).

    Main screen will happen in 5 minutes. In Surface mode buttons are set to maximum sensitivity. You can set AV1 in such a way that AV1 could automatically decrease buttons’ sensitivity in Dive mode in order to avoid occasional buttons’...
  • Page 7: Units Of Measurement

    Operation time with fully charged battery is about 10 hours. If you don't use AV1 for a long time, charge it at least once in 2 (two) months. It will prolong battery life. With full battery discharge all the information (current settings, current tissue saturation) will be lost! Don’t take too much effort when screwing the cap!

Here you can add gases into active gases' list which will be available in Select mix menu item.
  • Page 10 Accordingly, you can now set you diluent in CCR mode as active CCR gas, as well as all bailout gases as OC ones. In this case, decompression and TTS in CCR mode shall be calculated based on diluent, and in the case of switch to OC automatically calculated based on OC gases and will offer the gas from the list of OC gases.

There is gas in the list of active gases which better than the current one. Gases are compared by MOD. The gas / gas mix with maximum MOD not higher than current depth is considered to be the best mix.

    You are making ALL your dives in Gauge mode at your own risk! IMPORTANT! Upon diving in Gauge mode, do NOT dive with AV1 as decompression meter earlier than 48 hours since the last dive in Gauge mode !!! Otherwise incorrect tissues' saturation probabilty is very high. As a consequence, you will be under high risk of decompression decease! 5.3.2 Average Depth calculation and Dive Segment Time...
