Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the UTC – Underwater Digital Interface 14 (UDI-14™) System.
UDI-14™ is a device that contains several functions used for diver safety, communication and
computation.
To active your warranty and allow us to update your UDI-14™ software from time to time, please visit our
web site www.utc-digital.com
The system consists of the UDI-14™ diving unit, an optional UDI-14™ boat station (version II), and the
DiveSim™ software. Each item can be purchase separately.
The UDI-14™ contains the following functions:
• Text messages communication device
• SOS signal transmission and reception
• Navigation unit and homing device
• Dive computer (on the dive unit only)
• Compass
The DiveSim™ PC software can be used in conjunction with the UDI-14™ to plan dives, review dive data,
and simulate dives. The software can also be used to update text message and names (users) lists. The
DiveSim™ is used also to manage dive log files.
The UDI-14™ text messaging system links divers through transmission of pre-set messages with ease and
reliability at ranges of up to 500 meters, depending on environmental conditions.
Upon receiving a message signal, the UDI-14™ unit sounds an audible alert and lights up to show the
message.
The SOS signal can be activated by a diver in distress, or remotely by any diver who suspects that his
buddy is in distress. Upon activation of an SOS signal, the UDI-14™ transmits information required to
locate the SOS sender.
Each UDI-14™ includes a homing device to help the diver locate other divers or the boat unit.
The UDI-14™ can be worn on the lower arm or attached to the Buoyancy Compensator (BC).
The UDI-14™ permits a diver to communicate with any other diver in the network without distractions or
potential discomforts.
