PATENT NOTICE
U.S. Patents have been issued, or applied for, to protect the following design features: Dive Computer with Free Dive Mode and/or Wireless Data Transmission (U.S. Patent no. 7,797,124), Air Time Remaining (U.S. Patent no. 4,586,136 and 6,543,444) and Data Sensing and Processing Device (U.S. Patent no. 4,882,678).

DECOMPRESSION MODEL
The programs within the ATOM 3.0 simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is merely a way to apply a limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The ATOM 3.0 dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression theory. Still, using the ATOM
3.0, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other) No Decompression Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding decompression sickness, i.e. “the bends.” Every diver’s physiology is different, and can even vary from day to day. No machine can predict how your body will react to a particular dive profile.

ATOM 3.0 OPERATING MANUAL
AUDIBLE ALARM
While operating in NORM or GAUG Mode, the Audible will emit 1 beep per second for 10 seconds when alarms strike, unless it is set Off. During that time, the audible can be acknowledged and silenced by pressing the S button (< 2 sec).
An LED warning light on the housing is synchronized with the audible and flashes as the Audible sounds. It will turn Off when the alarm is silenced. The audible and light will not be active if the audible is set Off (a group A setting).
FREE dive mode has its own set of alarms which emit 3 short beeps either 1 or 3 times which cannot be acknowledged or set Off.
Situations that will activate the NORM/GAUG 10 second Alarm include -
** Items apply only to NORM mode.
• Air Time Remaining (ATR) at 5 minutes, then again at 0 minutes.
• Turn Pressure at the Set Point selected (Transmitter 1 only).
• End Pressure at the Set Point selected (active Transmitter).
• Descent deeper than the Depth Alarm Set Point selected.
• Dive Time Remaining at the Set Point selected**.
• Elapsed Dive Time at the Set Point selected.
• PO2 at the Set Point selected**.
• High O2 of 300 OTU (100%)**.
• TLBG at the Set Point selected**.
• Ascent Rate exceeds 60 FPM (18 MPM) when deeper than 60 FT (18 M), or 30 FPM (9 MPM) at 60 FT (18 M) and shallower.
• Loss of the active Transmitter Link signal for more than 15 seconds during a dive.
• Entry into Decompression Mode (Deco)**.
• Conditional Violation (above a required Deco Stop Depth for less than 5 minutes)**.
• Delayed Violation (above a required Deco Stop Depth for more than 5 minutes)**.
• Delayed Violation (a Deco Stop Depth greater than 60 FT/18 M is required)**.
• Delayed Violation (Max Operating Depth of 330 FT/100 M is exceeded).
• A Gas Switch would expose the diver to PO2 => 1.60 ATA**.
• Watch Daily Alarm reaches time set (disabled during Dive Modes).
• Watch Mode Countdown Timer reaches 0:00.
A single short beep (which cannot be disabled) sounds -
• After 5 minutes on the surface after the Violation dive.
3 short beeps (which cannot be disabled) sound when -
• Ascent Rate is 51 to 60 FPM (15.1 to 18 MPM) when deeper than 60 FT (18 M), or 26 to 30 FPM (7.5 to 9 MPM) at 60 FT (18 M) and shallower.
• FREE Dive Elapsed Dive Time Alarm (3 beeps every 30 seconds if set On).
• FREE Dive Depth Alarms 1, 2, 3 (set sequentially deeper) - each 3 beeps 3 times.
• FREE Dive TLBG Alarm (Caution zone, 4 segments) - 3 beeps 3 times.

• Free Dive Mode Countdown Timer reaches 0:00 - 3 beeps 3 times.
During the following NORM Dive situations, the 10 second continuous tone will be followed by a 5 second beep that will not turn off when acknowledged -
• Ascent above a Deco Stop for more than 5 minutes.
• Deco requires a Stop Depth of 70 FT/21 M or deeper.
• On the Surface for 5 minutes after a Conditional Violation.
PC INTERFACE
Interface with a PC, to allow uploading settings and downloading data, is accomplished by connecting the unit to a PC USB port using the special USB interface cable.
The software program together with the USB driver required is on the Oceanlog CD, and can be downloaded from the OceanicWorldwide web site. The program's HELP** serves as the user manual which can be printed for personal use.
**Prior to attempting to download data from your unit or upload settings to it, review the HELP section of the Oceanlog program. Recommended is to
print those sections of HELP that you consider appropriate for your Interface activities.
The settings upload portion of the Oceanlog program can be used to set/change the Main Time, Date, Set A group (Alarms), Set U group (Utilities), and FREE mode items using the same interface system. FO2 must be set using the control buttons.
Information available for retrieval (download) from the unit to the PC download portion of the program includes dive data such as number, surface interval time, maximum depth, elapsed dive time, no deco status, start date/time, lowest temperature under water, sampling rate, dive profile, and set points.
The Oceanlog program also allows upgrade of select versions of the firmware (operating system software) after which the unit resets all operating data. Since the upgrades require reset of the unit, they are blocked during 24 hours after dives.
• Refer to page 47 for more details relating to Oceanlog and PC Interface.

WATCH MAIN (DEFAULT) TIME
Selection of Main (Default) Time is a Set T menu item.
Time of day and date can be set when either Home or Away time is selected as the default.
Main Time is the current time at your home location and is normally selected as the Watch Default Time.
ATOM 3.0 OPERATING MANUAL
Away Time, set by Hour Differential, is the current Time at a remote travel location. Upon arrival at the location, Away Time can be interchanged with Main Time to make it the Default Time while visiting the travel location.
Dual Time is the second, or differential time, that can be displayed simultaneously with Main Time when enabled. It is a +/- Hour Differential based on the Time that is set while at home or the opposite if set while away.
Once Dual Time (the Hour differential) is set, it will automatically change when Time of Day is changed. When Away Time is selected to be the Watch Default Time (while at a travel location), it will be changed directly when Time of Day is changed and Home Time will then change by a Hour differential opposite the one set for Dual Time.

DIVE COMPUTER OPERATING MODES
NORM Mode >> for Air and Nitrox SCUBA activity with 1 to 3 Gases/TMTs. GAUG Mode >> for SCUBA activity with 1 to 3 TMTs. FREE Mode >> for breath hold diving activity with Depth/Time indication.
If no previous dive has been taken within the past 24 hours, NORM is the default upon access from Watch Mode. Others can be accessed using the Surface Menu.
At any time while operating in Surface Modes, operation will enter the Dive Mode selected upon descent to 5 FT (1.5 M) for 5 seconds.
Operation will revert from Dive Mode to Surface Mode upon ascent to 2 FT (0.6 M) for 1 second.
During the first 10 minutes after a NORM/GAUG dive, or 1 minute after a FREE dive, the Dive Main screen will remain on displaying Elapsed Dive Time and Pressure together with Surface Interval Time in place of Current Depth.
• During the first 10 minutes (or 1 minute), Dive ALT screens can be viewed and Gas/TMT Switching can be performed.
• A descent during the first 10 minutes after surfacing from a NORM or GAUG dive, or the first 1 minute after surfacing from a FREE dive, is a continuation of that dive.
• After the 10 minute (or 1 minute) interval has elapsed, the normal Surface Main will be displayed with access given to the Surface group selections. A descent is then considered a new dive.

TIME TO FLY (NORM/GAUG)
Time to Fly is a countdown timer that begins counting down from 23:50 to 0:00 (hr:min) 10 minutes after surfacing from a dive (NORM, GAUG, or FREE).
FLY, information includes (Fig. 37):
> Time to Fly countdown (hr:min), - : - - if no dive yet, 0:00 if time has elapsed. > Graphic FLY.
• A (< 2 sec) - to step forward to DSAT if NORM, or LOG if GAUG.
• M (< 2 sec) - to step back to ALT 3 if Nitrox, or ALT 2 if Air or GAUG.
DSAT TIME (NORM only) Time to Desaturate (Dsat Time) is also a countdown timer. It is calculated time for tissue desaturation at sea level.
Beginning 10 minutes after surfacing from a NORM or FREE dive, it counts down from a maximum of 23:50 to 0:00 (hr:min).
Dsat requiring more than 24 hours will display 24HR until it decreases to 23:59.
After a FREE dive, access to the DSAT screen can be gained by first accessing the NORM Mode.
After a violation dive, 3 dashes ( - - - ) will be displayed in place of countdown time.
> When other screens are accessed, the DSAT time continues to countdown in the background. > In the event that time to desaturate still remains at the end of 24 hours, any remaining time will be cleared.
We do not go beyond 24 hours since there is not a realistic set of repetitive dive profiles on SCUBA for which the 480 minute tissue exceeds 8 FSW, which clears at 24 hours. All other tissues with a half time of 160 minutes or less will have desaturated in less than 12 hours.
DSAT, information includes (Fig. 38):
> Time to Desaturate (hr:min), - : - - if no dive yet, 0:00 if no time remaining. > Graphic DSAT.
• A (< 2 sec) - to step forward to PLAN.
• M (< 2 sec) - to step back to FLY.
PLAN MODE (NORM only) Dive time calculations in Plan Mode are based on -
> the algorithm selected (DSAT or PZ+). > the FO2 value set for Gas 1, the default used for Plan. > the setting for the Conservative Factor (Off or On*). > any residual nitrogen remaining, or oxygen accumulation, from previous dives (NORM or FREE)
*When the Conservative Factor is set On, Dive times are reduced to the values of the next higher 3000 foot (915 meter) Altitude. Refer to tables in back.

PDPS (Pre Dive Planning Sequence)
The PDPS displays Depths and allowable Dive Times (up to 999 minutes), NDLs (No Deco limits) if nitrogen loading is in control or OTLs (O2 limits) if oxygen accumulation is in control.
PDPS screens will display Depths from 30 to 190 FT (9 to 57 M) with Plan times* based upon the previous dive profiles in a
