Page 27: Tec Mode
This may occur BEFORE your No Decompression Limit runs out. Tec Mode In Tec mode, the KAON allows up to three nitrox gas mixes, each from 21%-100% oxygen. The first mix will be your Dive Gas, the second and third will be Deco Gas 1 and Deco Gas 2. -
Page 28: Gauge Mode
During your dive, the KAON will begin by displaying your No Decompression Limit (NDL). If you complete your dive within the NDL time, the KAON will tell you to complete a safety stop for 3 minutes at 5m/15ft. During these 3 minutes, if you drop below 6.5m/21ft, the safety stop counter will turn off and reset. -

This computes the No Decompression Limit you can expect at a given depth. The depth values can be provided in feet or metres, depending on the Units you select in the Preferences menu of the KAON. In Rec Mode, these values will only be affected by the gas you select: NDL on Air NDL on 36% Nitrox In Tec mode, these values will be affected by the gases you select and the level of conservatism. -

Your KAON has a wide set of features that can assist you with your dive planning and preparation. The most basic selection is the Mode you wish to use your unit in. The KAON offers Rec, Tec and Gauge modes. The default is Rec mode, which only allows you to dive with one gas (21-40% oxygen). Should you wish to get decompression information for dives with more than one gas, you should switch your computer to Tec mode. - Page 62 KAON.

To order spare batteries and O-rings for your KAON, please contact your local Liquivision dealer. WARNING Attention, LYNX T1 Transmitter owners Please note that the O-rings that were provided with the XEN, XEO, and KAON before June 1 2013 are NOT compatible with LYNX T1Transmitters. - Page 87 You should always check the battery life remaining on the surface, prior to beginning your dive, by briefly entering simulator mode with your unit. Your KAON uses more power in dive mode than in surface mode. It may show a green indicator in surface mode, but a yellow one in dive mode, and you can check this by starting a dive simulation.

Page 88: Basic Rules For Optimizing Battery Life
- It is hard to estimate the amount of time left. Even if your KAON knew exactly how much battery power is left, it is still hard for your unit to judge how much dive time is left. Dive time will be greatly affected by user settings such as screen brightness and colors. -
Page 89: Battery Savings Mode: When Your Battery Voltage Drops Below A Critical Level
Battery Savings Mode: When Your Battery Voltage Drops Below A Critical Level The KAON circuit requires a minimum voltage in order to measure the depth properly. In certain cases of aggressive brightness, aggressive colors, or extremely cold water, the voltage of the battery may drop below a critical voltage. - Page 90 Please note that storing a battery inside a unit also affects the battery life, as the unit uses power even when it is turned off. If you are not going to use your KAON for one month or more, you should remove the battery during storage.
