3.2.3 Calendar Clock Function
The TIME display can be retrieved any time on the surface by touching the
TIME/MODE and COM contacts for about a second. The current time and date will
be shown for four. When diving, the dive entry time and date is registered in the
logbook memory. Remember always to check before diving that the clock is set,
especially when traveling to different time zones. For adjusting the clock, refer to
Section 4.5, "Setting Time and Date".
In the metric version of the SOLUTION
á
, the 24-hour time system is used, while in
the imperial version the 12-hour time system is used.
3.3 DIVING
3.3.1 Basic Dive Data
The SOLUTION
á
will remain in the SURFACE mode at depths less than 1.5 m [5
feet]. At depths greater than 1.5 m the SOLUTION
á
will go into the DIVE mode.
Each piece of information on the display is clearly marked. During a
no-decompression dive, the following information will be shown:
- the available no-decompression time in minutes is shown as NO DEC TIME. It is
calculated based on the five factors listed in Section 7.1, "OPERATING
PRINCIPLES".
- your present depth is shown in meters [ft]. In addition to the digital display, the
present depth is also displayed graphically with a depth bar graph along the left side
of the display window.
- the elapsed dive time in minutes in the lower right corner, shown as DIVE TIME.
- the altitude/ personal adjustment setting (A0, A1, or A2).
In the lower left corner the following information will alternate:
- the maximum depth during this dive in meters [ft], indicated as MAX, for about 5
seconds. A single bar on the depth bar graph also shows the maximum depth
reached.
- the water temperature, followed by
C for Centigrade [or
F for Fahrenheit], for
about 2.5 second.
3.3.2 Ascent Meter
The ascent rate is shown graphically in the upper left corner, next to the notation
