3.11.11 Low battery
Do not start a dive if the battery symbol
is displayed flashing on the screen on the
surface. The dive computer may fail to function
during the dive and this could lead to serious
injury or death.
During the dive, Meridian alerts you of
precarious battery situations in two ways:
By displaying a steady battery symbol on
the screen. This means you can finish the
dive but you should replace the battery
once you return to the surface;
By displaying a flashing battery symbol on
the screen. This means you need to start
the procedure to terminate the dive, as
there is not enough energy in the battery
to ensure proper continued functioning and
the dive computer may fail. If the battery
symbol is flashing, the backlight cannot
be activated and the audible warnings and
alarms are not available anymore.
3.11.12 Setting bookmarks
By press and hold LIGHT button you can
set any number of bookmarks as reminders
of particular moments during the dive. The
bookmarks will appear on the dive profile
in JavaTRAK.
3.11.13 Safety stop timer
If a minimum depth of 10m/30ft has
been reached during the dive, at a depth
of 5m/15ft the safety stop timer will
automatically start a countdown. If you go
below 6.5m/20ft, the timer will disappear
and the no-stop time is shown again. Upon
returning to 5m/15ft, the timer will start
again automatically. As long as you are
