It is possible that it can stop reporting gas pressures or report an incorrect pressure. Never risk your life on only one source of information. Use a backup gauge for critical gas information. If you choose to make riskier dives, obtain the proper training and work up to them slowly to gain experience.

Page 4: Introduction
Swift Operating Instructions INTRODUCTION The Shearwater Swift is an advanced air integration transmitter for measuring scuba tank gas pressure and transmitting this information to a compatible dive computer. Please take some time to read this manual to get the best performance from your new transmitter. Diving involves risk and education is your best tool for managing this risk. -
Page 5: Air Integration (Ai)
Swift Operating Instructions AIR INTEGRATION (AI) The Swift connects to Shearwater dive computers to provide air integration capability. AI stands for Air Integration. This refers to a system that uses wireless transmitters to measure the gas pressure in a scuba tank and transmit this information to the dive computer for display and logging. - Page 6 Swift Operating Instructions Installing the transmitter Before using the AI system, you will need to install one or more transmitters on the HP (high pressure) port of the scuba tank first stage regulator. Use a first stage regulator with at least two HP ports, so that a backup submersible pressure gauge (SPG) can be used.
- Page 7 However, there could be failures that produce no error messages and result in a sudden unexpected out of gas emergency that every diver must be prepared to manage. Shearwater recommends using a backup submersible pressure gauge (SPG) as a redundant source of gas pressure information and regularly confirming the agreement of the gas pressure reading of the SPG and wireless transmitter.

- Page 9 Swift Operating Instructions Purge Air from regulator when not in use We recommend purging the air from the regulator when the system is not in use. This extends the battery life of the transmitter (as it will continue transmitting any time there is air pressure in the regulator system), as well as lowering the risk that a diver might enter the water with the air pressure turned off.
- Page 10 The Swift is designed with the use of multiple transmitters. The transmit interval of each transmitter varies within a 4.8 to 5.2 second time period and each Swift includes a receiver used to check for other transmitters and avoid colliding with their data. Four or more transmitters may be used simultaneously, without the need to use multiple transmitter types (colors used on legacy Shearwater transmitters).

4 screws and tighten to snug. Check Transmitter Operation To ensure the new battery is installed properly and the Swift is working, install the regulator on a scuba tank and pressurize the system. Check that the pressure reading is reporting correctly. - Page 12 Swift Operating Instructions LED Flash Pattern When Displayed Meaning Red, Yellow, Green At battery change Self Test Yellow flashes At battery change or Firmware version code wakeup from inactive Repeating Quick Red Flashes Any time Self Test failure – do not dive...

Ensure the regulator is purged when not in use. The Swift will continue to transmit if gas pressure is above 3.5 bar (50 psi). Ensure the use of a good battery. -
Page 14: Storage And Maintenance
• The Swift should be stored dry and clean. Battery may be left installed if desired. • Do not allow salt deposits to build up on your Swift. Rinse in fresh water to remove salt and other contaminants. Allow to dry naturally before storing. -

Questions and answers
is the transmiter on all the time or can you turn it off?
The Shearwater SWIFT transmitter transmits every 5 seconds while it is on and does not have an automatic shutdown feature. However, it can be turned off manually by stopping pressure changes, such as closing the tank valve.
