Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the Citizen CYBER AQUALAND. Please read this manual carefully before using your watch to ensure that it is used properly. Furthermore, make sure to store this manual in a safe place for future reference as necessary.

CYBER AQUALAND is a diver's watch containing a built-in dive computer and provided with its own depth gauge. The watch is able to automatically store various data (maximum depth, dive time, etc.) generated during diving as well as diving profile data, and display that data in the form of log data.

By installing AQUALAND GRAPH 2001 in your personal computer from the CD-ROM provided with the watch, you can incorporate data stored in the watch in your PC using the communication unit and infrared communication interface provided. You can enter text into diving data that has been incorporated into your PC, generate graphs of diving data or attach still pictures or animated image data all with a simple procedure, and then manage this data collectively in the form of diving logs. Since these logs can be printed out or converted into HTML documents, storage of diving records is both simple and convenient. In addition, the use of CAPgm, which is installed simultaneous to installation of AQUALAND GRAPH 2001, makes it possible to make various watch settings (including travel time, alarm and timer settings) while also allowing different graphics to be displayed on the watch for different days.

We hope that the use of CYBER AQUALAND will allow you to get even more enjoyment out of your recreational diving activities.

* To users using a previous HYPER AQUALAND product (Model No. D20*):

If you are using the DOS version or WINDOWS Ver. 1/Ver. 2 of AQUALAND GRAPH (HYPER AQUALAND dedicated software), you can use existing diving data managed with each version of AQUALAND GRAPH by importing that data to AQUALAND GRAPH 2001.

HYPER AQUALAND data can also be received using AQUALAND GRAPH 2001 software. Please note, however, that the type of communication unit and connection cable differ between CYBER AQUALAND and HYPER AQUALAND.

(Please refer to the AQUALAND GRAPH 2001 instruction manual contained on the CDROM provided for further information regarding the procedures for importing and receiving data.)

WARNING

Diving is a potentially dangerous sport. When using this watch for diving, make sure to have a correct understanding of this watch as described in this manual and strictly adhere to the procedures for its operation. The watch may not function properly if handled in a manner not described in this manual.

This watch should not be used as a primary instrument for diving.

Diving while using this watch is limited to recreational diving (no decompression diving) in salt water at a water temperature of +10°C to +40°C (50°F to 104°F). This watch cannot be used for decompression diving, saturation diving using helium gas, diving at high altitudes (300 m (1000 ft) or more above sea level) or diving outside the above temperature range. In addition, this watch can not be used for nitrox diving (diving using a mixed gas of oxygen and nitrogen in which the oxygen concentration is richer than air tanks used for ordinary diving).

Although this watch provides data for decompression diving in cases of emergency, never attempt to use this watch for decompression diving since this is potentially dangerous.

In addition, the watch does not display depth correctly when used in water other than salt water (specific gravity: 1.025).

Even recreational diving can be dangerous. Users are requested to obtain the proper scuba diving training from a qualified instructor, acquire the necessary experience and skills for safe diving and completely master the handling and operation of this watch before using this watch as an auxiliary instrument for diving. Insufficient or improper training may cause errors to be made during diving that may lead to serious injury or death.

Sudden atmospheric fluctuations and changes in water temperature may have an effect on the display and performance of the watch. Since this watch is not intended to be used as a specialized instrument, and is only intended to display information to serve as a reference for minimizing decompression sickness and other dangers, it is not designed to guarantee the safety of the user. Always make sure to use this watch in combination with other instruments (such as a diving table, residual pressure gauge and water depth gauge). Never use it as a primary instrument for diving.

This watch is designed on the premise of being used only by one person. Never lend to or share this watch with another person while resting on the surface (while the surface mode is activated). In addition, do not use the data displayed by the watch as diver data for persons other than the user.

6

WARNING

In order to ensure safe diving, dive while allowing an adequate margin of safety relative to the displayed no-decompression limit time.

WARNING

Never dive in a manner that requires a decompression stop (decompression diving). If decompression diving should happen to occur, immediately start to ascend while observing an ascent rate of no more than 18 m (60 ft)/min. Make a decompression stop while ascending in accordance with decompression stop instructions.

When making a decompression stop, never ascend to a depth less than the instructed depth. In addition, since it is difficult to maintain a constant depth when there are high waves and so forth, make decompression stops at depths a little deeper than the instructed depth to prevent decompression sickness.

*A permanent error (ERROR) occurs when continuing to dive while ignoring decompression stop instructions during the course of decompression diving, and the watch will not switch to the dive mode for 24 hours after that time.

WARNING

Avoid traveling in an aircraft while the surface mode is activated. Traveling in an aircraft without allowing sufficient time to rest after diving results in the risk of decompression sickness. It is recommended to avoid traveling in an aircraft for at least 24 hours after diving whenever possible even if the surface mode is no longer displayed. There are no rules for completely preventing decompression sickness caused by flying in an aircraft after diving.

CAUTION

Skin diving after scuba diving is not recommended. It is recommended to avoid skin diving for at least two hours after scuba diving and not to exceed a depth of 5 m (15 ft).

Data Storage

The various data recorded in the watch may be lost when subjected to incorrect use or the effects of strong electricity and electrical noise as well as during a malfunction and repair. Always make sure to keep a separate record of important data recorded in the watch. Diving data in particular should be transferred to your PC or recorded in a log book as quickly as possible.

Cautions Regarding Use During Diving

WARNING

This watch cannot be used as a primary instrument for diving.

When using the watch during diving, always make sure to receive the proper diving instruction and training and use the watch while obeying all rules.

Inspect the watch to make sure that all functions operate properly before diving.

It is recommended to only use this watch for recreational diving down to a depth of about 18 m (60 ft). Do not attempt to dive below the limit depth of 40 m (131 ft) during recreational diving.

Always make sure to allow an ample margin for no-decompression time.

Perform adequate safety stops and decompression stops. Even in the case of nodecompression diving, always make a safety stop at 5 m (15 ft) to ensure safety. In addition, in the case the decompression stop display appears, try to stop for a period longer than that indicated on the display.

Allow for a sufficient rest period after diving in accordance with safety rules. Boarding an airplane or moving to a high altitude without allowing for a sufficient rest period after diving results in the risk of decompression sickness.

PROHIBITED Prohibited Use During Diving

Never attempt to use this watch for diving under the following circumstances.

When diving is prohibited in the system monitor mode:

···The watch will not switch to the dive mode when [ ] has changed to NG.

When the watch has stopped running or an error has occurred (be careful not to bump the watch against hard objects such as equipment or rocks when diving).

When measuring depth outside the guaranteed water temperature range or at high altitudes:

···The temperature range in which the water depth measurement accuracy of this watch is guaranteed is +10 to +40°C (50°F to 104°F).

···This watch is not compatible with diving at high altitudes. Never use this watch when diving at high altitudes (300 m (1000 ft) or more above sea level).

When engaged in dangerous behavior or when a situation is judged to be dangerous:

···This watch is not built to function as a preventive or emergency instrument such as for use during marine accidents.

When using in a helium gas atmosphere (saturation diving, etc.):

···Use under these conditions can cause a malfunction or damage to the watch.

Use for nitrox diving:

···This watch cannot be used for diving using a mixed gas other than that of air tanks for ordinary air diving.

WARNING Cautions Regarding Use During Diving

<Cautions Before Diving>

Sufficiently charge the watch and confirm that the watch is reliably charged and that the watch can be used for diving by referring to the system monitor mode. If the watch is not sufficiently charged, the watch will not switch to the dive mode even if diving is started. In addition, try to start a dive after first sufficiently charging the watch before diving to avoid having the watch become insufficiently charged while diving.

14

Confirm that "ERR" (error) or "CHK" (check) is not displayed on the display.

Confirm that the band is securely attached to the watch body.

Confirm that the band and glass are free of cracks, scratches, chips and other abnormalities.

Confirm that the time and date are set correctly.

Confirm that the depth alarm and dive time alarm are set correctly.

If there is a considerable difference between the watch temperature and the water temperature (such as in cases of entering water after having the left the watch in bright sunlight), water depth cannot be measured accurately. In such cases, immerse the watch in the water for at least 5 minutes and then dive after the watch temperature has become acclimated to the water temperature.

<Cautions During Diving>

Avoid ascending too rapidly. Rapid ascending can cause decompression sickness and have other detrimental effects on the body. Observe the safe ascent rate at all times.

Please note that when underwater, it may be difficult to hear the sound of the dive alarm or other alarms depending on surrounding conditions (such as breathing noise and air bubble noise) and the manner in which the watch is worn.

Be careful not to run out of air. This watch does not manage the amount of air remaining in the air tank. The diver is responsible for managing the amount of air remaining.

In the event the watch should happen not to operate properly while underwater, either ascend immediately while following the instructions of the instructor or begin ascending immediately at an ascent rate of no more than 18 m (60 ft) per minute and make a safety stop at 5 m (15 ft) as long as your air lasts.

<Cautions After Diving>

Make sure to rest sufficiently after diving by checking the surface mode (which measures the amount of time elapsed after diving and no fly time).

After removing any moisture, mud, sand or other foreign matter adhered to the watch by thoroughly rinsing with fresh water, completely wipe off the watch with a dry cloth.

Do not attempt to remove the sensor cover or poke at it with a sharp object to attempt to remove any dirt or debris trapped in the pressure sensor. In addition, do not spray the pressure sensor with air under high pressure such as that from an air gun. In the case that debris has become trapped in the pressure sensor, rinse it out with fresh water. If it is still unable to be removed, consult your nearest Citizen Service Center.

CAUTION Fresh Water Diving

This watch is designed on the premise of diving in salt water. It will not display water depth accurately in water other than salt water.

Only use the watch after receiving special safety training when using the watch for diving in fresh water.

Since this watch displays water depth as converted based on salt water (specific gravity: 1.025), the true water depth in fresh water is actually 2.5% deeper than the displayed water depth.

Example: Water depth displayed as 20 m x 1.025 = 20.5 m (actual water depth)

(40 ft x 1.025 =41 ft)

15

Features

This watch is provided with numerous convenient functions used during diving.

Various information is displayed to serve as a reference for safe diving by calculating residual body nitrogen based on depth during diving, dive time and previous dive history, etc. (Dive Computer Function).

*Decompression Calculation Algorithm

This watch employs the calculation formula of the Canadian Defense and Civil Institute of Environmental Medicine (DCIEM).

Measurement of water depth begins automatically simply by placing the watch on your wrist and entering the water, and various data (depth, elapsed time, etc.) are measured automatically while diving.

This watch distinguishes between skin diving and scuba diving according to diving conditions (depth and dive time), and a maximum of 100 sets of log data are automatically recorded for both types of diving.

This watch is also provided with various warning functions necessary for safe diving.

Log data and profile data (up to 2 hours) automatically recorded in the watch can be transferred to a PC by using the communication unit and infrared communication function provided, making it possible to easily manage and generate graphic representations of transferred data on your PC.

Various watch functions can be set on your PC.

The following watch settings can be transferred to and edited on your PC using the communication unit and infrared communication function provided.

Addition, deletion and alteration of locations displayed in each mode by the watch

Various travel time, alarm and destination timer settings

Setting of dive alarm used during diving and entry of the number of previous dives.

Setting of daily graphics and graphics displayed on anniversaries (graphic display)

This watch is also equipped with an infrared communication function.

The wrist watch infrared communication standard (IrWW) is used for infrared communication. This enables the time and alarm time to be set between watches using this standard.

If a friend or acquaintance has the same watch, data can be transferred between those watches (including time, date, alarm and dive alarm settings). In addition, communication with a PC can also be performed using infrared communication.

No need to change the battery.

The secondary battery used for the power source is completely free of mercury and other hazardous substances making it environmentally friendly.

The secondary battery is charged using the communication unit provided. Once fully charged, the watch can be used continuously for about one month under standard operating conditions. (Continuous usage time varies according to the use of additional functions and other conditions of use. For further details, refer to the section on " Battery Charge Indicator and Continuous Usage Time".)

This watch is also equipped with a battery charge indicator that provides a general indication of the charge level of the secondary battery, as well as an insufficient charge warning function that informs the wearer that the secondary battery is insufficiently charged on the display.

16

Other Convenient Functions

This watch is also equipped with a travel time function that enables you to easily display local time when traveling or on business overseas, as well as a destination timer function that displays the amount of time remaining until you reach your destination.

An approximate indication of the amount of charge remaining in the secondary battery can be confirmed on the display. The battery charge indicator can be displayed in either the time mode of the standard mode (location display) or the system monitor mode.

1. How to Read the Battey Charge Indicator

The battery charge indicator changes in the manner shown below according to the amount of elapsed time the watch has been used.

About 60% charged to fully charged

About 10-20% charged

Nearly insufficiently charged. Charge the watch promptly. Since the watch may become insufficiently charged during diving, charge the watch sufficiently before diving.

Insufficiently charged. The watch cannot be used for diving. Charge the watch immediately.

Amount of Battery Charge

The watch switches to the "Low power mode" at about this time.

All watch functions stop.

*The above illustration provides a graphic representation of the amount of residual charge in the secondary battery and the changes in the battery charge indicator.

Usage

time

The "Insufficient Charge Warning Function (BATT displayed)" is activated at about this time. Charge the watch immediately. (Refer to the section on

" Warning Functions" for further details.)

2. Continuous Usage Time

This watch will continue to run for about 1 month (until the insufficient charge warning function is activated) once it has been fully charged.

This is roughly based on the conditions of use indicated below.

Diving (water depth measurement): Twice/week (30 min./dive)

Alarm: 30 seconds/day

Chronograph measurement: 1 hour/week

EL light: 4 seconds/day

*The continuous usage time of the watch becomes shorter the more often the alarm, chronograph and other functions are used. In addition, the continuous usage time is further reduced by infrared communication.

*Since the water sensor is activated when the watch gets wet even when not diving, the continuous usage time becomes correspondingly shorter.

Switching the Mode

The mode changes in the order of standard mode, dive plan mode, scuba log mode, skin log mode and surface mode each time button (D) is pressed.

The sub-mode of the standard mode changes in the order of time, travel time, destination timer, alarm, chronograph, timer and system monitor each time button (A) is pressed in the standard mode.

The watch automatically switches to the dive mode (preliminary dive display) when the water sensor gets wet in any mode (excluding the infrared communication mode and low power mode).

The watch switches to the infrared communication mode (initial display) when button (D) is pressed for at least 2 seconds in any mode (excluding the dive mode and low power mode).

D. Garbage Collection Operating Procedure

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Garbage collection begins when button (C) is pressed for at least 2 seconds during the flash memory status display.

During the garbage collection operation, an alarm sounds and "G.C." is displayed on the display. When garbage collection is completed, "Done" is displayed on the display.

Garbage collection cannot be performed when "G.C." has changed to "NG" on the battery charge indicator or when the water sensor has been activated. "Fail" is displayed on the display at this time.

<General Reference for Performing Garbage Collection>

Try to perform garbage collection when the black segment on the flash memory status display is larger than the white segment (available memory). Garbage collection consumes considerable power. For this reason as well, in order to ensure that flash memory is used efficiently, it is recommended to perform garbage collection whenever the watch is charged (fully charged).

* In the case "Error" is displayed during the garbage collection operation, there may be an error in the flash memory. After formatting flash memory by referring to the section on " All Reset and Formatting Flash Memory", try repeating the garbage collection operation. If "Error" is still displayed, this indicates that the watch has malfunctioned. Please contact a Citizen Service Center to request repairs.

*Garbage collection is only performed to organize the contents of flash memory. There is no risk of deleting watch settings or diving logs as a result of performing garbage collection.

Location "IrWW"

In the case the time difference (time difference from UTC) of a location of the time mode of the transmitting watch is not present in the receiving watch during transfer of time setting data between watches using the infrared communication function, "IrWW" is temporarily displayed in the location display of the receiving watch.

* Refer to section "4. Data Communication Between Watches" of " Data Communication Functions" in this manual.

35

Warning Functions

This watch is equipped with various warning functions for the purpose of avoiding risks and problems when diving as much as possible.

WARNING

*Do not dive in a manner that activates any of the warning functions. Since the degree of risk varies according to experience, physical condition and diving conditions, do not assume that diving is completely safe just because none of the warning functions are activated. Please use the warning functions as a general indicator of diving safety.

Insufficient Charge Warning

When the watch becomes insufficiently charged, "BATT" flashes in the

 

lower left corner of the display in all of the sub-modes of the standard

 

mode. Operation of the following functions is limited while this warning

 

function is activated.

 

• The watch does not switch to the dive mode even if the water sensor

 

gets wet. (The watch automatically switches to the battery charge

 

indicator display of the system monitor mode when the water sensor

Flashing

gets wet.)

 

None of the alarms sound.

Data cannot be transferred by infrared communication. (However, data can be transmitted to a personal computer by USB communication.)

The EL light is not illuminated.

When this warning function is activated, charge the watch by attaching to the communication unit as soon as possible. The display will return to normal once the watch is sufficiently charged.

*None of the dive alarms sound when the insufficient charge warning function is activated during diving. Although the dive computer will function normally for about 30 minutes after "BATT" starts to flash, the log data for that dive is not recorded. Promptly begin to ascend it this warning function is activated during diving.

*If the watch remains insufficiently charged after the insufficient charge warning function has been activated, it switches to the low power mode after about 2 days. Please note that if the watch continues to be left uncharged in the low power mode, all functions stop and all watch settings return to the initial (default) settings.

File Error Warning

When the amount of available memory in flash memory becomes low,

 

"FILE" flashes in the lower left corner of the display in all of the sub-

 

modes of the standard mode as well as in the dive mode. The watch

 

automatically switches to the flash memory status display of the system

 

monitor mode when the water sensor gets wet while this warning function

 

is activated. Please note that although it is possible to use the watch for

Flashing

diving in this state, log data may not be recorded in flash memory during

diving.

The file error warning function is also activated and additional log data is not recorded if the duration of a single dive exceeds 2 hours or if more than 15 dives are made in a single day. The file error warning function may also be activated when the water temperature during diving is low. It may not be possible to receive watch settings by data communication while the file error warning function is activated.

36

When the watch has switched to the file error warning display, perform the garbage collection procedure in the system monitor mode of the standard mode. The display returns to normal following completion of garbage collection.

Abnormal Pressure Detection Error Warning

 

When abnormal atmosphere pressure is detected during use on land, or

 

when ascending to high locations more than 4000 m (13000 ft) above

 

sea level, "ERR" (Error) flashes in the lower left corner of the display.

 

The watch does not switch to the dive mode even if the water sensor

Flashing

gets wet while this warning function is activated.

 

If "ERR" does not disappear from the display even after a long period of time, there may be a problem with the pressure sensor. When this happens, discontinue using the watch and consult a Citizen Service Center.

Water Sensor Check Warning

 

If the preliminary dive display continues to be displayed for more than 1

 

hour after the water sensor has gotten wet and the watch has switched

 

to the preliminary dive display in the dive mode, "CHK" (Check) flashes

 

in the lower left corner of the display to inform the wearer that the water

 

sensor should be checked.

 

* "CHK" also flashes when the watch returns to the normal display from any of

 

the correction states, when the watch is returned to the time mode of the

Flashing

standard mode from the infrared communication mode, and when the water

 

sensor is operating during the all reset procedure.

The watch does not switch to the dive mode (water depth measurement display) when "CHK" is flashing.

To check the sensor, remove any debris or moisture from the water sensor with a dry cloth. The display returns to normal when the water sensor is canceled.

Ascent Rate Warning

When the ascent rate during scuba diving exceeds 18 m (60 ft)/min, the ascent rate warning alarm sounds for 5 seconds and "SLOW" and an illustration of a turtle are displayed at the bottom of the display.

The ascent rate warning alarm stops sounding when a proper ascent rate is resumed.

*The ascent rate warning alarm does not sound during skin diving (continuous diving for less than 3 minutes at a depth of 1 m or more).

Abnormal Depth Warning

When a sudden change in depth of more than 4 m (13 ft)/sec is detected during diving, the watch assumes that the watch has reached an abnormal depth. At this time, "ERR" and the diver mark are alternately displayed in the lower left corner of the display.

Once "ERR" has been displayed during diving, it continues to be displayed until the dive mode is terminated.

Flashing

CAUTION

Avoid using the watch in environments where sea bottom drilling equipment or similar machinery is in use. The vibrations from such equipment may cause a change in water pressure of "4 m (13 ft) or more per second" to be locally and momentarily applied to the pressure sensor of the watch, causing "ERR" to be displayed and preventing water depth from being displayed correctly.

37

Decompression Diving Warning

This alarm sounds for 3 seconds and the decompression stop indicator (STOP) is displayed on the display when the nodecompression limit time has been exceeded resulting in decompression diving during the course of diving.

The display returns to the no-decompression diving display when decompression stop is performed in accordance the decompression stop instructions.

Exceed Maxmum Depth Warning

When the limit depth of 40 m (131 ft) for recreational diving is surpassed during the course of diving, an exceed maximum depth error occurs, the current depth flashes and the alarm sounds for 15 seconds. During diving at a depth greater than 40 m (131 ft), the warning alarm sounds for 15 seconds every minute.

This warning function is canceled when the depth returns to 40 m (131 ft) or less.

Flashing

Permanent Error Warning

The instructed depth flashes and an alarm sounds continuously

 

when either of conditions 1 or 2 below are met. If hazardous diving

 

or ascending is continued while ignoring this warning, a permanent

 

error (ERROR) occurs:

 

1. When not ascending to the instructed depth and continuing to

 

dive at an excessively low depth (diving at which the instructed

 

decompression stop depth exceeds 9 m (30 ft).) even though

Flashing

having been instructed to make a decompression stop

 

(Permanent Error Warning 1).

 

The warning stops when the diver begins to ascend immediately and the decompression stop instructed depth reaches 9 m or less.

2.When having ascended to a depth 1 m (4 ft) or more less than the instructed depth after having been instructed to make a decompression stop (Permanent Error Warning 2).

In this case, the warning is canceled when the diver returns to the instructed depth.

<Permanent Error>

If hazardous diving or ascending is continued even after the permanent error warning function has been activated, a permanent error results, "ERROR" appears on the display and the entire display flashes.

When a permanent error has occurred, the next dive cannot be

 

 

 

 

 

 

made for 24 hours. (The water depth measurement function does

 

Flashing

not operate for 24 hours. In addition, "ERROR" is displayed when

 

the watch is switched to the dive plan mode, and the no-

 

 

decompression limit time is not displayed.)

 

 

38

Diving Terms Used by this Watch

The following provides an explanation of the diving terms displayed by this watch along with their basic meanings.

<Algorithm>

This watch employs the calculation formula of the Canadian Defense and Civil Institute of Environmental Medicine (DCIEM).

<Scuba Diving and Skin Diving>

This watch automatically distinguishes between skin diving and scuba diving according to the following conditions, and records log data separately for each type of diving.

Scuba diving: Continuously diving for 3 minutes or more to a depth of 1 m (4 ft) or more

Skin diving: Continuously diving for less than 3 minutes to a depth of 1 m (4 ft) or more

<One Dive>

In this watch, one dive constitutes the time from initially diving to a depth of 1 m (4 ft) (start of dive) from the preliminary dive mode state to the time the dive mode is terminated (end of dive).

<No-Decompression Diving and No-Decompression Limit (NDL) Time>

No-decompression diving refers to diving that allows the diver to ascend to the surface without stopping for decompression during the course of ascending following completion of a dive. The limit time during which this no-decompression diving is allowed is referred to as the no-decompression limit time. No-decompression limit time varies according to the diving depth and diving time of the previous dives.

<Safety Stop>

Safety stop refers to a temporary stop made during ascending for safety reasons in order to promote expulsion of nitrogen in the body, and is performed even if the nodecompression limit time has not been exceeded. In the case of having dove to a depth of 18 m (60 ft) or more, a safety stop should always be made at 5 m (15 ft) of depth to ensure safety.

<Decompression Diving>

This refers to diving beyond the no-decompression limit time. Decompression diving is extremely dangerous since nitrogen accumulates in the body beyond allowable levels. Never dive in this manner.

<Decompression Stop>

This refers to a stop that must be made to ensure the necessary decompression in the case of having performed decompression diving. It is necessary to make a decompression stop at a predetermined depth (decompression stop instructed depth) and predetermined time (decompression stop instructed time) when ascending.

<Total Ascending Time>

This refers to the minimum time required to ascend to the surface from the current depth in the case of ascending at the rate of 18 m (60 ft)/min or less while making a decompression stop in accordance with the decompression stop instructions during decompression diving.

39

<Body Nitrogen Level>

This refers to the amount of nitrogen dissolved in the body as a result of diving. This watch displays a general indicator of the amount of nitrogen dissolved in the body in the form of a bar graph. The higher the level of the black portion of the graph, the greater the body nitrogen level.

<Total number of Dives (Log Count)>

This indicates the total number of dives for scuba diving.

*Arbitrarily setting the total number of past dives in a personal computer enables this to display the total number of scuba dives made throughout your life.

<Dive Date>

This is the date (year, month and date) on which a dive was made.

<Dive Number>

This is the number of dives made in one day. A maximum of 15 dives are counted per day for skin diving and scuba diving, respectively.

*This indicates the number of a dive for a particular dive date. The counter is reset to 1 when the day changes.

<Surface Interval Time (S.I. Time)>

This refers to the elapsed time following completion of scuba diving (surface interval time (S.I. Time)). This watch measures surface interval time up to a maximum of 24 hours.

*S.I. Time as referred to in the scuba log mode represents the elapsed time from completion of the dive of the previous log until the start of the dive of the current log.

<Dive Time>

This is the total time at a depth of 1 m (4 ft) or more during a single dive.

*Measurement of dive time starts when first going below a depth of 1 m (4 ft), and stops when depth reaches less than 1 m (4 ft). However, if a dive is resumed to a depth of more than 1 m (4 ft) within 10 minutes from the time measurement of dive time stopped, dive time is continued to be measured from the time measurement stopped.

<Time In>

This is the time when the depth exceeds 1 m (4 ft) for the first time during the dive.

<Minimum Water Temperature (Min.w.temp)>

This is the minimum water temperature encountered during the course of a single dive.

<Maximum Depth (Max. Depth)>

This is the depth when having dove the deepest during the course of a single dive.

<Average Depth (Ave. Depth)>

This is the average depth during the course of a single dive.

* This refers to the average value of depth measured for every 5 seconds of dive time.

<Profile Log>

The watch displays a simple graph of the changes in depth during a dive.

*Data relating to depths measured every 5 seconds and water temperature measured every 5 minutes can be confirmed on a personal computer.

40

Using the Dive Plan Mode

This mode is used to plan the next dive. In this mode, the no-decompression limit time according to the first dive and repetitive dives can be displayed, and dive alarms can be set.

41

3. Dive Alarm

<Depth Alarm>

The depth display flashes and an alarm sounds for 15 seconds at 1 minute intervals (for the set number of times) to warn the diver when the diver remains at a depth deeper than the set depth while diving. The alarm stops sounding when the diver ascends to a depth less than the set depth, and sounds again if the diver descends deeper than the set depth.

Setting range: 10 m (30 ft) to 39 m (130 ft) (1 m (5 ft) units), OFF

No. of times alarm sounds: 1 to 5 times, ON (no limit)

42

Using the Scuba Log Mode and Skin Log

Mode

The scuba log mode is used to display the scuba diving log automatically recorded by the watch during scuba diving. The skin log mode is used to display the skin diving log automatically recorded by the watch during skin diving. A maximum of 100 sets of log data can be recorded for both scuba diving and skin diving (provided that the dive time of a single dive is within 2 hours and no more than 15 dives are made in a single day). The contents of log data for a single dive are displayed using three displays for both the scuba log and skin log modes.

3.Deleting Log Data

Individual sets of log data cannot be deleted. When a new dive is made when there are already 100 sets of dive data recorded for the total dive data of scuba diving log data and skin diving log data, the oldest log data is automatically deleted.

CAUTION

It is strongly recommended to promptly record important log data in another storage medium. When a new dive is made and there are already 100 sets of dive data recorded for the total dive data of scuba diving log data and skin diving log data, the oldest log data is automatically deleted. In addition, since there is also the possibility of data being lost due to a malfunction in the watch or during repairs or inspections, it is recommended to promptly transfer data to a personal computer following completion of diving. Please note that the manufacturer cannot be responsible for data that is lost due to a malfunction.

44

Using the Dive Mode

This mode is used to measure depth underwater. When the water sensor detects water in any mode other than the transfer mode and low power mode, the watch automatically switches to the dive mode. When the depth exceeds 1 m (4 ft) during the preliminary dive display, measurement of depth begins enabling the watch to display necessary information including current depth, dive time and max. depth for the diver.

During the preliminary dive display, the diver mark flashes in the lower left corner of the display and the display of each mode prior to switching to the preliminary dive display is maintained.

Once measurement of water depth begins, if diving continues for more than 3 minutes at a depth of more than 1 m (4 ft), the watch switches to the scuba diving display and displays no-decompression limit time.

The diver mark flashes in the lower left corner of the display while diving.

WARNING

Always make sure to confirm that the "diver mark" is flashing in the lower left corner of the display during the preliminary dive display before beginning a dive. The water depth measurement function does not operate if "BATT", "ERR", "CHK" or other error messages (indicating that a warning function has been activated) are flashing in the lower left corner of the preliminary dive display. In addition, it is recommended to sufficiently charge the watch prior to starting a dive to avoid the watch becoming insufficiently charged while diving even if the insufficient charge warning function ("BATT" display) has not been activated.

*For further details, refer to the section on " Warning Functions".

The current time, water temperature and current body nitrogen level graph are displayed during the time button (A) is pressed during no-decompression diving (except while the safety stop graph is displayed).

<Safety Stop Graph Display>

A graph serving as a general reference for changes in depth during safety stop and the elapsed time during a safety stop are displayed after having descended to a depth of more than 5 m (15 ft) and then ascended to a depth of 5 m (15 ft) during scuba diving (no-decompression diving).

Reading the Safety Stop Graph

The horizontal axis of the graph represents elapsed time, while the vertical axis represents changes in depth over a range of 3 m (10 ft) to 7 m (23 ft) centering around a depth of 5 m (15 ft).

When diving beyond the no-decompression limit time, an alarm sounds and an instruction to make a decompression stop (STOP) is displayed on the display, indicating that decompression diving has resulted.

The current time and maximum depth are called up during the time button (A) is pressed during the decompression dive display (except during display of the decompression stop graph).

The watch returns to the no-decompression dive display when the instruction to make a decompression stop is followed.

WARNING

Never dive in a manner that requires a decompression stop (decompression diving). If decompression diving should happen to occur, immediately start to ascend while observing an ascent rate of no more than 18 m (60 ft)/min. Make a decompression stop while ascending in accordance with decompression stop instructions.

When making a decompression stop, never ascend to a depth less than the instructed depth. In addition, since it is difficult to maintain a constant depth when there are high waves and so forth, make decompression stops at depths a little deeper than the instructed depth to prevent decompression sickness.

*A permanent error (ERROR) occurs when continuing to dive while ignoring decompression stop instructions during the course of decompression diving, and the watch will not switch to the dive mode for 24 hours after that time.

2.Depth Measurement

This watch measures depth every second, and continuously displays the current depth in 0.1 m (1 ft) units during the course of diving.

• Measuring range: 1 m to 80 m (4 ft to 266 ft)

*0 m (0 ft) is displayed at depths of less than 1 m (4 ft), while - -.- m is displayed at depths greater than 80 m (266 ft).

*When an error has occurred in depth measurement during the course of diving, "ERR" and the diver mark are alternately displayed until that dive is completed.

3. Dive Time Measurement

The elapsed time of dives made to a depth of more than 1 m (4 ft) is displayed. Measurement of dive time starts automatically when the depth exceeds 1 m (4 ft) for the first time, and stops when the depth again is less than 1 m (4 ft). However, if a dive is resumed to a depth of more than 1 m (4 ft) within 10 minutes from the time measurement of dive time stopped, dive time is continued to be measured from the time measurement stopped. Dive time is displayed for up to

9 minutes 59 seconds from the start of measurement in 1 second units. Beyond that time, dive time is displayed in 1 minute units.

• Measuring range: 0 minutes 00 seconds to 999 minutes 59 seconds

4. Water Temperature Measurement

The watch starts to measure water temperature beginning 1 minute after the depth exceeds 1.0 m, and measures at 1 minute intervals during the course of diving. The most recently measured water temperature is displayed in 1°C (1°F) units during the time button (A) is pressed during the scuba diving display. (The water temperature measured in 0.1°C (0.18°F) units is displayed after rounding to the nearest 1°C (1°F) unit.)

• Measuring range: -9.4°C to +40.0°C (15°F to 104°F)

5. No. of Dives Per Day and Recording Log Data

A maximum of 15 sets of log data can be recorded in a single day for both skin diving and scuba diving. When the number of sets of log data exceeds 15, log data is no longer recorded during diving. Even though log data is not recorded, the watch will continue to measure depth and perform its various other functions during diving.

When the number of dives in one day is such that the number of skin dives is 15 or more and the number of scuba dives is 14 or less, although the watch displays "FILE" when the dive is started based on the judgment of the watch being used for skin diving, it judges that the watch is being used for scuba diving 3 minutes later at which time "FILE" disappears from the display and the dive is recorded as log data.

6. Ending the Dive Mode

The watch returns to the surface mode or the time mode of the standard mode when button (D) is pressed for at least 2 seconds when 0 m (0 ft) is displayed after completion of water depth measurement.

The watch automatically returns to the surface mode or time mode of the standard mode after roughly 10 minutes have elapsed since 0 m (0 ft) is displayed following water depth measurement.

Using the Surface Mode

The surface mode is used to display elapsed time from the end of the most recent scuba dive (S.I. time) and the amount of time remaining until boarding an aircraft is permitted (no fly time).

WARNING

Avoid traveling in an aircraft while the surface mode is activated. Traveling in an aircraft without allowing sufficient time to rest after diving results in the risk of decompression sickness. It is recommended to avoid traveling in an aircraft for at least 24 hours after diving whenever possible even if the surface mode is no longer displayed. There are no rules for completely preventing decompression sickness caused by flying in an aircraft after diving.

*This mode is preferentially displayed at all times after scuba diving.

*When the no fly time reaches 0 hours 00 minutes, the watch returns to the time mode of the standard mode from the surface mode. The surface mode is not displayed after that time until completion of the next scuba dive.
