ATOM 3.0 OPERATING MANUAL OVERVIEW The ATOM 3.
ATOM 3.0 OPERATING MANUAL AUDIBLE ALARM While operating in NORM or GAUG Mode, the Audible will emit 1 beep per second for 10 seconds when alarms strike, unless it is set Off. During that time, the audible can be acknowledged and silenced by pressing the S button (< 2 sec). An LED warning light on the housing is synchronized with the audible and flashes as the Audible sounds. It will turn Off when the alarm is silenced. The audible and light will not be active if the audible is set Off (a group A setting).
ATOM 3.0 OPERATING MANUAL POWER SUPPLY • Watch Battery >> (1) 3 vdc, CR2430, Lithium battery. • Shelf life >> up to 7 years (when shipped from factory in Deep Sleep mode). • Use life >> 1 year or 300 dive hours if (2) 1 hour dives per dive day. • TMT (Transmitter) Battery >> (1) 3 vdc, CR2, .75 Ahr, Lithium battery. • Use life >> 300 dive hours if (2) 1 hour dives per dive day. • Replacement >> user replaceable (annual recommended).

ATOM 3.0 OPERATING MANUAL WATCH MAIN (DEFAULT) TIME Selection of Main (Default) Time is a Set T menu item. Time of day and date can be set when either Home or Away time is selected as the default. Main Time is the current time at your home location and is normally selected as the Watch Default Time. Away Time, set by Hour Differential, is the current Time at a remote travel location.
ATOM 3.0 OPERATING MANUAL SHOW DUAL TIME This selection allows Dual Time, which is set by an hour differential, to be added, or removed from, to the Watch Main screen.

ATOM 3.0 OPERATING MANUAL VGM (VIOLATION GAUGE MODE) During NORM dives, operation will enter VGM when Deco requires a Stop Depth greater than 70 FT (21 M). It will also enter VGM if Deco is activated during a dive in FREE mode, described later. alt w/ UP Operation would then continue in VGM during the remainder of that dive and for 24 hours after surfacing. VGM turns the unit into a digital instrument without any decompression or oxygen related calculations or displays.

When O2 reaches the Warning level (80%); the audible sounds during which the O2 value with O2% icon will flash (in place of DTR) (Fig. 114), then DTR will be restored. The O2 icon will remain on flashing (if OTR is DTR) until O2 is < 80%. If O2 reaches the Alarm level (100%); the audible sounds again, the graphic UP will alternate with the O2 value until on the surface (Fig. 115).

ATOM 3.0 OPERATING MANUAL BATTERY REPLACEMENT The Battery Compartment should only be opened in a dry and clean environment with extreme care taken to prevent the entrance of moisture or dust. As an additional precautionary measure to prevent formation of moisture in the Battery Compartment, it is recommended that the Battery be changed in an environment equivalent to the local outdoor temperature and humidity (e.g.
ATOM 3.0 OPERATING MANUAL ALTITUDE SENSING AND ADJUSTMENT Altitude (i.e., ambient pressure) is measured upon activation and every 15 minutes until a dive is made. > Measurements are only taken when the unit is dry. > Two readings are taken, the second reading 5 seconds after the first. The readings must be within 1 foot (30 cm) of each other to record that ambient pressure as the current Altitude. > No adjustments are made during any time that the Wet Contacts are bridged.
