1. INTRODUCTION TO
THE M2
Your M2 User Manual is divided into the
following main chapters.
1 Introduction to M2. This chapter
provides an overview of the M2 computer
and describes its operating modes and
functions when on the surface.
2 The M2 as a watch. This chapter describes
the M2 when it is used as a watch.
3 The M2 as a dive computer. This
chapter describes all settings and functions
of the M2 as a dive computer and takes
you underwater with the M2. It’s about
everything the M2 can and will do to
enhance your safety and fun underwater.
4 M2 accessories. This chapter briefly
describes the extras that can be purchased
as additional options to get the most of your
dive computer in all diving conditions.
5 M2 PC interface. This chapter is about
linking the M2 to your PC/Mac. It describes
how to change settings plus how to
download and manage your logbook.
6 Taking care of the M2. This chapter
describes how you should take care of the
M2 after underwater adventures and also
summarizes the main technical information
of this instrument.
The M2 is a technologically-advanced
instrument that can accompany you during
your underwater adventures while providing you
with accurate depth, time and decompression
information. On the surface its size makes it
your ideal everyday companion. With features
such as wake-up alarm, dual time, stop watch,
barometer, altimeter, SWIM and sport mode,
the M2 can tackle almost every possible task.
The buttons allow you to initiate operating
functions, make setting changes and access
menus while on the surface. During the dive they
set bookmarks, show further information on the
computer screen and activate the backlight.
Now it is time to dive into the details. We
hope you will enjoy getting to know your new
computer and we wish you many happy dives
with the M2
.
1.1 Battery
The M2 uses a CR2450 battery which is
available at your authorized SCUBAPRO
dealer. The M2 will alert you when the
battery is approaching a critical discharge
level by displaying the battery symbol.
A steady symbol means that the battery is
low, with some reserve left. At this point the
backlight cannot be activated. If the symbol
blinks, the battery level is dangerously low
and the backlight and alarm tones cannot
be activated; diving is not recommended
before replacing the battery.

M2 USER MANUAL
English
M2 USER MANUAL
WARNING
Starting a dive when the battery symbol is
blinking can cause the computer to fail during
the dive! Replace the battery before any diving
activity if the blinking battery symbol appears.
When the ‘do not dive symbol’ appears with
the battery symbol, the M2 cannot be used for
diving until a fresh battery is installed.
See section “Checking the battery status“
for details on how to manually trigger the
battery level check.
WARNING
Replacing the battery requires opening the
electronic compartment of the M2. You must
take extreme care when performing the
battery change operation in order to ensure
the water tightness of the watch. Failing to do
so will cause the watch to ood during your
next dive and permanently ruin it. Damage to
the M2 due to improper battery replacement is
not covered under the warranty. We strongly
recommend battery changes be carried out by
your SCUBAPRO dive retailer.
See section “Replacing the battery in
M2 or transmitter“ for information on how
to replace the battery.
2. OPERATION MODES
The reference point for any description of the
M2 as a watch is the main time of day display.
This is the display in which the current time
is shown on the middle row. The upper row
shows the date and the bottom row shows
the day of the week. The example below
shows Monday, 4th of August and the
time is 26 minutes and 58 seconds past 9
o’clock. If dual time is activated, this display
shows dual time on the top row, the main
time on the middle row, and the day of the
week and date on the bottom row.
The different modes are shown on the
dial ring of the computer and the current
function mode is indicated with three
arrows. Each mode may have sub functions
and menus. By pressing the SEL button
you activate the mode and as an indication
the arrows start blinking.
The modes are grouped and described in
this manual in three chapters:
1. The M2 as a watch.
2. Menus and functions at the surface.
3. The M2 as a dive computer.
The following chart describes the main
menu structure.

The stopwatch will reset the counted time
when the +/UP button is pressed and held.
Laps can be marked by pressing the -/DOWN
button when the stopwatch is counting. By
doing so the display will freeze for 5 seconds
and the M2 will show the lap time.
Counting will continue automatically and
the lap counter will show the number of
laps on the bottom of the screen.
NOTE: You can leave the stopwatch
F
actively counting or you can leave the
stopped time on the display. The status
will be stored in memory that allows you
to continue from the same display at a
future time.
NOTE: The stopwatch has a 30-minute
F
timeout before reverting to normal watch
display. However, the timeout does
not stop the stopwatch function. You
can return to the stopwatch menu and
continue with the time-taking task just as
you did before the timeout happened.
3.2.2 Using the sport mode (“SPORT
Pressing SEL in Sport mode will start the
exercise. A press-and-hold of the SEL
button will end the exercise.
- PRESS SEL FOR START”)
When the stopwatch is stopped you can
review your lap times from the memory by
pressing the -/DOWN button.
By pressing the SEL button you can exit the
stopwatch and return to the stopwatch menu.
In the middle row the time is counting.
The counter can be stopped and restarted
by pressing the -/DOWN button. The
information in the top or bottom rows can
be selected by pressing the +/UP button.
A press of the +/UP button will change the
top row information in the following order:
15
1. Repetitions (initial value), see the note
below.
2. Heart rate.
3. Temperature.
4. Current time.
Pressing the SEL button will activate the
compass and the 12 o’clock direction is
shown in degrees on the top row with an
arrow indicating towards north on the dial ring.
A press-and-hold of the +/UP button will
change the bottom row information in the
following order:
1. Repetitions per minute.
2. Minutes per 1000 repetitions.
3. Current altitude.
4. Altitude difference during the exercise
(elevation).
5. Total ascent during the exercise.
6. Barometer.
NOTE: Since the M2 is worn on the wrist,
F
it is counting repetitive movements from
its internal sensors in Sport mode. The
M2 is not a pure step counter since arm
movements may count as repetitions as
well. The M2 is also not an activity band
since only same-direction movements
are counted.
3.2.3 Reading the altitude, barometer
and temperature values (“ALTI”)
barometric pressure. Altitude is counted
from the current barometric pressure and
is therefore a relative value.
With a press-and-hold of the -/DOWN
button the display changes, now showing
barometric pressure at sea level on the top
row. Or, with a press-and-hold of the +/
UP button you get the barometric pressure
at current altitude in mbar. This barometer
feature allows you to foresee approaching
weather in the upcoming hours if your
altitude remains the same.
When current elevation is known, the
altitude can be adjusted by pressing the SEL
button. The altitude value will start blinking.
By pressing the +/UP or -/DOWN buttons
the value can be adjusted in 10m/50ft
increments. Adjusting the altitude elevation
has no effect on the Altitude Class.
16
In the altitude menu the current altitude is
calculated from the barometric pressure
and is shown on the middle row. The
current temperature is shown on the top
row. The current altitude class is shown on
the bottom row.
NOTE: Barometric pressure is a variable,
F
changing with weather and atmospheric
pressure at that particular elevation. The
Dive algorithm uses Altitude Classes
which are directly derived from the
NOTE: Different combinations m&˚C,
F
Ft&˚C, m&˚F or Ft&˚F can be selected
from the Dive mode menu: Units.

3.2.5 Planning a dive (“PLAN”)
You can plan your next dive based on your
body’s nitrogen saturation. The planner is
also using the following information:
1. Selected oxygen concentration.
2. Enabled gases (multi gas diving).
3. Selected water type.
4. Selected microbubble level.
5. Water temperature of the most recent
dive.
6. Altitude range.
7. Status of saturation at the time when the
planner is started.
8. Observance of the prescribed ascent
rates.
NOTE: When the M2 is in GAUGE or
F
APNEA modes the planner is disabled.
This is indicated by showing OFF in this
menu.
By pressing the SEL button in the planner
menu you will get into the planner directly,
or after a repetitive dive into the surface
interval setting.
In case you plan to make a second dive
during the desaturation phase, you must
start the planner by inputting the time you
would still stay at the surface.
By pressing the +/UP or -/DOWN buttons
you can set the time in 15-minute
increments. The prohibited altitude is
shown on the bottom row. By increasing
the surface interval the allowed limit will
reach maximum (level 4). To learn more
about altitude diving with the M2, refer to
the section on Altitude diving.
In cases where the M2 is displaying the nodive warning, the duration of the warning
itself is displayed as recommended surface
interval for planning purposes (rounded up
to the nearest 15-minute increment).
