F.10 v.3 OPERATING MANUAL INITIAL ACTIVATION Oceanic 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 F10v3 up, the correct Date and USA Pacific Time will be displayed and it will be ready to operate with full functions.
