GETTING STARTED

To get the most out of your EON Steel, use some time to personalize it.
EON Steel is a very user-friendly dive computer, and you will quickly
become familiar with its functions. Make absolutely sure that you know your
computer and have it set up as you want, before getting into the water.

3.1 Set up EON Steel

First connect your EON Steel to your computer USB port with PC-cable.
This will wake-up your EON Steel and you will be guided through the initial
setup.
Initial setup guides you through following steps:
 Units settings.
 Time format (12h/24h)
 Date format (dd.mm / mm.dd)
 Optionally connect with DM5
After initial setup you will be redirected to main view. With select-button you
could change the main views.

3.2 Calibrating the compass

On compass main view you need to first calibrate the compass by slowly
rotating the unit in your hand with large infinite 8 loop about 15 seconds.
When graphical compass appears you know calibration is done successfully.
NOTE: If the calibration fails several times in a row, it is possible that
you are in an area with sources of magnetism, such as large metal objects,
power lines or electric appliances. Move to another location and try to
calibrate the compass again.
NOTE: Because of changes in the surrounding magnetic field,
compass needs to be re-calibrated occasionally. During the calibration
process, the compass adjusts itself to the surrounding magnetic field . As a
basic rule, you should calibrate the compass whenever it does not seem to
operate properly.
