ACTIVATION

To activate the A300 CS, press/release any button.
• A Welcome screen will be displayed for 3 seconds (Fig. 2)* during which diagnostics will be performed verifying that
sensors and battery voltage are within tolerance.
*After the Battery is replaced on a new day prior to performing any dives, a message is displayed before the Welcome.
• It will also check ambient barometric pressure, and calibrate present depth as 0. When at 3001 feet (916 meters), or
higher, it will adjust depth for the higher altitude.
• After the diagnostic check, the Home Menu screen will be displayed (Fig. 3) allowing you to select what you would like to
do (view information, perform setup, access operating modes).
• If no button is pressed within 2 minutes, the unit will enter PSM (Power Saver Mode) turning the screen off. Refer to page 8.
• If no dive is made within 2 hours, the unit will shut Off.
Wet activation contacts will automatically activate the unit and cause it to enter dive mode when the contacts become wet and
it senses depth of 5 FT (1.5 M). They will not inadvertently activate Surface Mode such as when in a wet gear bag.
