DECOMPRESSION MODEL The programs within the BUD simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is merely a way to apply a limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The BUD dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression theory.
POWER SUPPLY The BUD utilizes (1) type CR 2430 Lithium 3 volt cell. Expected use life is approximately 100 hours if (1) 1 hour dive per day is conducted each time the unit is activated, up to 300 hours if (3) 1 hour dives per day are conducted.
3,001 feet (916 meters), it will recalibrate depth and adjust calculations every 2,000 feet (610 meters). Fig. 9 - DIAGNOSTIC The BUD will also automatically activate by water contact. This is accomplished by bridging the gap between contacts located on the button and case.

BUD OPERATING MANUAL SET UNITS, information includes (Fig. 20): > Graphic SEt. > Graphic IMP (Imperial) or MET (Metric) flashing with FT (or M) icons. • B (< 2 sec) to toggle between IMP and MET. • B (2 sec) to save the setting and access SN.
FEATURES ALGORITHM The BUD is configured with 2 algorithms which allows you to choose which set of NDLs (No Deco Limits) will be used for nitrogen/oxygen calculations and displays relating to Plan and DTR (Dive Time Remaining). You can select to use either the DSAT or the Z+. The selection will lock in for 24 hours after the last dive.
BUD OPERATING MANUAL NO DECO MAIN, information includes (Fig. 22) - > DTR (hr:min) with NDC (or O2) icon. > Current Depth with FT (or M) icon. > Max Depth with MAX and FT (or M) icons > EDT (Elapsed Dive Time) with DIVE and min icons >...
BUD OPERATING MANUAL DECO STOP MAIN, information includes (Fig. 28) - > Stop Time (hr:min) with STOP icon. > Current Depth with FT (or M) icon. > Stop Depth with STOP and FT (or M) icons. > NX, CF, DSAT (or Z+), icons - those that apply.
If you descend deeper than the MOD*, DTR and Current Depth will be displayed as with the Depth ones flashing (Fig. 35). Max Depth on the ALT will also be displayed as 3 dashes. *MOD is the Max Operating Depth at which the BUD can properly perform calculations or provide accurate display information. Refer to the Specifications in the back.
BUD OPERATING MANUAL HIGH O2 Warning >> when 80 to 99% (240 OTU). Alarm >> at 100% (300 OTU). When O2 reaches the Warning Level; the O2 value will flash (in place of DTR or Deco Stop Time) for 10 seconds (Fig. 42).
Instrument Lens Protector. Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater. • Soak and rinse the BUD in fresh water at the end of each day of diving, and check to ensure that the areas around the Low Pressure (Depth) Sensor (Fig. 45a) and button are free of debris or obstructions.
> No adjustments are made during any time that the Wet Contacts are bridged. > When diving in high altitude waters from 3,001 to 14,000 feet (916 to 4,270 meters), the BUD automatically adjusts to these conditions providing corrected Depth, and reduced No Deco and O2 Times at intervals of 1,000 feet (305 meters).
