SOS
If you stay above a depth of 0.8m/3ft for
more than 3 minutes without observing a
mandatory decompression stop, the A1 will
switch into SOS mode. Once in SOS mode
the A1 will lock up and will be inoperable as
a dive computer for 24 hours. If it is used
for diving within the 24 hours of an SOS
lock, it will automatically switch to gauge
mode and provide no decompression
information.
