Operating.modes - Aeris A300 CS Operating Manual

OPERATING MODES
HOME >> This is a base mode that provides access to general items common to the operating dive modes.
NORM >> This is an operating dive mode used for Air and Nitrox scuba activity with up to 4 gases and transmitters.
If no previous dive has been taken within the past 24 hours, NORM is the default mode upon activation with others accessed as described later.
GAUG >> This is an operating dive mode used for scuba activity with up to 4 transmitters but without Ni-O2 calculations.
Once a GAUG dive has been conducted, operation locks into this mode for 24 hours.
FREE >> This is an operating dive mode used for breath hold diving activity with depth/time indication.
Ni-O2 calculations are performed while in FREE mode and are carried over between NORM and FREE.
COMPASS >> This is the navigation mode that can be used at any time while on the surface and during dives.
At any time while operating in Surface Modes*, operation will enter the Dive Mode selected upon descent to 5 FT (1.5 M) for 5 seconds.
• When Wet Activation is set Off, Dive Mode will only be activated when the unit is first activated and operating in a surface mode.
• When Wet Activation is set On, the selected Dive Mode will activate upon descent regardless of whether it is turned on by button first.
Operation shifts from Dive Mode to Surface Mode upon ascent to 2 FT (0.6 M) for 1 second; however, most surface mode screens will not be available
until a transition time elapses.
The reason for this is that making a descent during the first 10 minutes after surfacing from a NORM or GAUG dive, or during the first 1 minute after
surfacing from a FREE dive, is a continuation of that same dive.
A descent made after the 10 minute (or 1 minute) interval has elapsed is then considered a new dive.
During the first 10 minutes after surfacing from a NORM or GAUG dive, or the first 1 minute after surfacing from a FREE dive, the Dive Main screen will
be displayed with Surface Interval time replacing Current Depth. Dive ALTs can be accessed to view other information pertaining to that dive.
