ALADIN ONE USER MANUAL
7
The Aladin One switches on:
• Automatically, upon submerging in
water or when triggered by a change in
atmospheric pressure.
• Manually, by pushing and holding either
the left or right button.
If switched on with the left button, all
display segments appear for 5 seconds.
Afterwards, the display shows the time of
day, the date and a scrolling SCUBAPRO
which is quickly replaced by the day of the
week. This is referred to as the “time of
day” display.
In the time of day display, if there is
remaining saturation from the last dive or
from a change of altitude, the Aladin One
may indicate the “Do not y” icon, “Do not
dive” icon or “Altitude” icon or a combination
of the icons depending on the situation.
NOTE: Most navigation descriptions in
F
this manual start from the time of day
display. At the surface, the Aladin One
returns automatically to this display.
NOTE: When the Aladin One is
F
in a state of rest, no information
is displayed but the atmospheric
pressure continues to be monitored.
If a change in altitude classes is
detected, the Aladin One automatically
switches on for 3 minutes.
2.2.5 Checking the desaturation
time
From the time of day display you can check
the desaturation time* with a press-andhold of the right button. Desaturation time
is determined either by oxygen toxicity,
nitrogen saturation or the regression
of microbubbles, depending on which
requires the longer time.
*Desat time is displayed only if there is
remaining saturation due to the last dive or
a change of altitude.
WARNING
For calculations of desaturation and no-y
time it is assumed that you are breathing air
while on the surface.
2.2.6 Checking the surface interval
NOTE: Without active use the Aladin
F
One’s display automatically reverts
to the time of day display, and after 3
minutes the computer switches off.
2.2.4 How to navigate the Aladin
Starting from the time of day display you
can enter into different menus.
8
One at the surface
From the time of day display you can check
the surface interval with a press-and-hold
of the right button (taking you directly to the
dive menu) and then another press-andhold (taking you to surface interval).
Surface interval is the elapsed time since
the end of your last dive; it is displayed as
long as there is remaining saturation.
ALADIN ONE USER MANUAL
2.2.7 Checking the battery
condition
From the time of day display you can check
the battery condition by pressing the left or
right button to scroll to the watch menu.
With a press-and-hold of the right button
you enter watch settings, then press the
right button 6x to scroll to the battery status
screen.
The battery status screen shows how much
energy is left in the CR2450 battery. A fresh
battery is indicated by 6 zeros.
While the Aladin One periodically monitors
battery status, you can manually trigger a
status check with a press-and-hold of the
right button while in this screen.
The Aladin One’s intelligent battery
algorithm will limit some functions as you
near the end of the battery’s life. See
the table below for battery status and
corresponding function limitations.
NOTE: Battery capacity and
F
voltage at the end of a battery’s
lifetime may vary between battery
manufacturers. Generally, operation at
low temperatures decreases battery
capacity. Therefore, when the battery
indicator drops below 4 zeros, change
the battery to a fresh one before
making any new dives.
WARNING
When the battery is critically low, the watch
settings are disabled (the watch set menu is
“OFF”).

WARNING
• If the battery status graph shows only 2
zeros, the battery symbol will blink, both
on the surface and in dive mode, to alert
you of a dangerous situation. At this point
the battery may not have enough energy to
nish a dive. In such a case, audible alarms
and attention messages are disabled, the
backlight is deactivated, and you run the
risk of a computer malfunction. Do not let
the battery reach this condition!
• Always replace the battery when the steady
battery symbol appears (3 zeros).
NOTE: Logbook information is not lost
F
even when the battery is removed for
an extended period of time.
2.2.9 Switching off the display
From the time of day display you can
switch off the Aladin One by pressing and
holding both buttons simultaneously. On
the surface the Aladin One switches off
automatically after 3 minutes of non-use.
2.2.10 Alarm clock
The alarm clock tone works only at the
surface.
If the alarm clock is “on” the time of day
display shows the alarm clock/transmit
symbol.
When the alarm is triggered, the alarm
clock/transmit symbol ashes and special
attention beeps sound for 30 seconds or
until you press a button.
2.3 SOS mode

2.2.8 Active backlight
The display of the Aladin One can be
illuminated both on the surface and under
water. The backlight can be activated with
a press-and-hold of the left button.
The light will turn off automatically after 6
seconds.
NOTE: Repeated activation of the
F
backlight will reduce battery life.
The Aladin One monitors the battery
level throughout every dive, and if
the available energy drops below the
warning threshold, the Aladin One will
automatically disable the backlight to
prevent a computer shut-down.
SOS mode (lock duration 24 hours) and surface
interval from the dive
ALADIN ONE USER MANUAL
If you remain above a depth of 0.8m/3ft for
more than 3 minutes without observing a
prescribed decompression stop, the Aladin
One will automatically switch into SOS
mode after the dive and remain there for
24 hours. The dive will be entered in the
logbook with “SOS.”
Push the right button to see the “SOS”
symbol (the SOS mode will be unlocked
after 24 hours).
While in SOS mode, the Aladin One cannot
be used for diving.
NOTE: Diving within 48 hours after
F
exiting SOS mode will result in
shorter no-stop times or longer
decompression stops.

3.1.3 Nitrox information
(O2 information)
For dives with compressed air in normal
recreational diving, nitrogen is the decisive
gas for decompression calculations. When
diving with nitrox, the risk of oxygen toxicity
rises with the increase of the fraction of
oxygen and the increase of depth; this can
limit dive time and max depth. The Aladin
One includes this in its calculations and
displays the necessary information:
O2% mix Fraction of oxygen: The fraction
of oxygen in the nitrox mixture can be set
between 21% (normal compressed air) and
50% in 1% increments. Your selected mix
will be the basis for all calculations.
ppO2 max Maximum allowed partial
pressure of oxygen: The higher the
fraction of oxygen in the mixture, the
shallower the dive depth at which this value
of the partial pressure of oxygen is reached.
The depth at which the ppO2 max is reached
is called Maximum Operating Depth (MOD).
When you enter the settings for the gas
mixture, the Aladin One will display the
ppO2 maximum limit setting and the
corresponding MOD. The Aladin One warns
you audibly and visually once the depth,
at which the ppO2 reaches the maximum
allowed value, is reached.
NOTE: The default setting of ppO2 max
F
is 1.4bar. The value of ppO2 max can
be set between 1.0bar and 1.6bar at
the gas settings. The CNS O2% value/
alarm is not inuenced by the selected
ppO2 max setting.
CNS O2% Oxygen toxicity: With the
increased percentage of oxygen, the
oxygen in the tissues, especially in the
central nervous system (CNS), becomes
important. If the partial pressure of oxygen
rises above 0.5bar, the CNS O2 value
increases; if the partial pressure of oxygen is
below 0.5bar, the CNS O2 value decreases.
The closer the CNS O2 value is to 100%,
the closer the limit where symptoms of
oxygen toxicity can occur.
During the dive, the depth at which ppO2
reaches 0.5bar with various commonlyused mixes is as follows:
MIX DEPTH in
meters
DEPTH in
feet
21% 13m 43ft
32% 6m 20ft
36% 4m 13ft
WARNING
Nitrox diving should only be attempted by
experienced divers after proper training from
an internationally recognized agency.
3.2 Attention messages and
alarms
The Aladin One draws the diver’s attention
to certain situations and warns of unsafe
diving practices. These attention messages
and alarms are visual and/or audible.
3.2.1 Attention messages
Attention messages are communicated
visually using symbols, letters or ashing
gures. In addition, 2 short audible
sequences can be heard (in an interval of
4 seconds) in 2 different frequencies under
water.
Attention messages come up in the
following situations:
• Maximum operating depth/ppO2 max is
reached.
• Set max depth is reached.
• Oxygen toxicity reaches 75%.
• No-stop time is less than 3 minutes.
• Prohibited altitude (surface mode).
• Entering decompression.
• Half of set dive time is reached.
• Set dive time is reached.
