2 Operation / 3 SOS mode
3 SOS mode
Activation: automatic
If the diver remains above a depth of 0.8m (3 feet) for more than three minu-
tes without observing a prescribed decompression, the computer will automa-
tically switch into SOS mode after the dive.
While in SOS mode, the computer cannot be used for diving.
TEC: the computer can be used in gauge mode ->28. All segments in the nitro-
gen loading bar will flash throughout the dive.
The SOS mode will be unlocked after 24 hours.
Diving within 48 hours after the end of an SOS mode will result in shorter no
stop times or longer decompression stops.
Push to see the "SOS" sign and the remaining length of the SOS mode.
The dive will be entered in the logbook with "SOS".
• Serious injury or death may result if a diver does
not seek immediate treatment should any signs
or symptoms of decompression sickness occur
after a dive.
• Do not dive to treat symptoms of decompression sickness!
• Diving in SOS mode is extremely dangerous and you must assume full
responsibility for such behaviour. UWATEC will assume no liability.
A diving accident can be analyzed at any time in the logbook and downloaded
to a PC by means of the infrared interface (IrDA) and the SmartTRAK software.
