F11 OPERATING MANUAL INITIAL ACTIVATION AERIS Watch type dive gauges are placed in a Deep Sleep mode prior to being shipped from the factory. The intent is to extend storage life of the Battery for up to 7 years, before the unit is initially placed in service. In this mode, Date and Time are updated as they normally would be. However, they are not displayed. Upon waking the F11 up, the correct Date and USA Pacific Time will be displayed and it will be ready to operate with full functions.

F11 OPERATING MANUAL UPLOADING SETTINGS AND DOWNLOADING DATA The F11 is configured with a Data Port located on the right side that enables it to be connected to a PC or Mac through a USB port using the AERIS Computer Interface cable, when viewing the Watch Main Time screen. The Settings Upload portion of the Computer Interface program can be used to set/change the Main Time/Date selections, Set Alarms, and Set Utilities.
F11 OPERATING MANUAL WARNINGS: Never, under any circumstances, poke any object through any slots or holes of the module. Doing so may damage the depth sensor, possibly resulting in erroneous depth displays. If you are in doubt about the accuracy of your unit's depth readings, DO NOT attempt to dive with it until it has been inspected by AERIS. Never pressure test the module in an air environment. Doing so may damage the depth sensor, possibly resulting in erroneous depth or time readings.
