3.4.4 Audible and Visual Alarms

The FAVOR AIR features audible and visual alarms to alert you when you are
approaching dangerous situations or to acknowledge certain commands given by you.
Acknowledgement of commands using the water contacts: a short single beep, occurs
when:
- the FAVOR AIR is activated
- the water contacts are connected in the surface mode
Potential danger situations during a dive: three beeps, occurs when:
- the no-decompression dive turns into a decompression dive. An arrow pointing
upwards and the decompression warning CEILING/ASC TIME will appear.
Cylinder pressure and air time alarms: three double beeps, occurs when:
- the cylinder pressure reaches 50 bar [725 psi]. The cylinder pressure display will start
to blink.
- the cylinder pressure reaches 35 bar [500 psi].
- the calculated remaining air time reaches zero.
Immediate danger: continuous beeps, occurs when:
- the maximum allowed ascent rate, 10 m/min [33 ft/min], is exceeded. A blinking SLOW
warning will alternate with the depth display.
- the ceiling depth is exceeded. A downward pointing arrow and a blinking error warning
Er will appear. You should immediately descend to or below the ceiling. The FAVOR
AIR will otherwise enter a permanent error mode in three minutes, indicated by a
non-blinking Er.
Immediate out-of-range danger, occurs when:
- the ceiling descends deeper than 9 m [30 ft]. A blinking error warning Er appears. You
should immediately ascend to or below the ceiling.
