2.00 Using the IQ-600
The key to using the IQ-600 correctly is learning to access,
recognize and interpret the data presented in its various dis-
play modes. The IQ-600 is capable of displaying far more data
than can fit in a single screen. Thus, to help avoid confusion, it
displays only that data which is relevant to a particular situa-
tion. For example, the data appearing when the IQ-600 is in its
Date/Time Set Mode is very different from that appearing
when it is in Dive Mode.
The IQ-600 is capable of presenting ten different display
modes. In the balance of this manual, we will identify each of
these modes, and explain:
What the purpose of each mode is.
How you enter and exit each mode.
What data you will see in each mode, and how to interpret it.
What audible or visible warnings may be sounded or
displayed in each mode, and how to respond to them.
2.01 Accessing Display Modes
There are some display modes that the IQ-600 enters and/or
exits automatically. For example, by taking the IQ-600 under
water, you automatically activate its Dive Mode. Upon surfac-
ing, your IQ-600 will automatically enter its Surface Mode.
To access other modes, you may need to push one of the two
large, blue buttons appearing on the IQ-600’s face. These are
the A and B buttons.
