NiTek X Dive Computer User Manual v1.1 10
Getting Started
The NiTek X has many modes (including Open-Circuit and
Closed-Circuit) and screens as well as a number of options that
can be changed, depending on your dive location and profile.
The following is a checklist of general things that you should
pay attention to before, during, and after a dive.
Before a dive
• Check that the proper time and date are set. If you are
traveling, your NiTek X may still be set to your home time
zone
• Check that the proper mixes and modes are set. Ensure that
you are in either the appropriate O/C or C/C mode when
programming your NiTek X computer
• Make sure that you review the dive plan mode for maximum
depths and times for the mixes you are using.
During a dive
• Monitor the NiTek X throughout your dive for depth and
time
• Monitor the Pressure Gas in Tissue (PGT) and Oxygen
Limited Indicator (OLI) O2 loading bar graphs
• Pay attention to any alarms, such as an ascent rate warning
• Follow the no-decompression limits or complete the required
decompression displayed.
After a dive
• Monitor surface interval time if making another dive
• Follow desaturation and no-fly guidelines
• Review your dive using the log mode and profile mode
• Download the dive log to your PC if you have the optional
PC interface and software
