ACTIVATION
PUSH BUTTON (PRIMARY METHOD)
A momentary press of the front (Advance) button activates the Wisdom 3.
The Wisdom 3 will automatically turn OFF 2 hours after activation if no dive is made. If the water activation
contacts are still bridged (the unit is wet), it automatically reactivates.
WATER CONTACT (BACKUP METHOD)
NOTE: This method functions only when the Wet Activation feature is set ON.
The Wisdom 3 has 2 contacts that cause it to activate when the space between the contacts is bridged by a
conductive material (e.g., water contact) and enter WET Mode (Fig. 9A) or DIVE Mode.
Upon removing the bridge between the contacts (drying the unit), the alpha graphic TIME replaces the graph-
ic WET (Fig. 9B).
If the contacts are still bridged 2 hours after a dive, the alpha graphic WET appears together with the graphic
FLY:SAT and the Time to Fly and Desaturation countdown timers.
Upon drying the unit, the graphic WET is replaced with the graphic TIME.
DIAGNOSTIC MODE (ONLY IF MANUALLY ACTIVATED)
Immediately following manual (push button) activation, the Wisdom 3 lights all segments of the LCD and
initiates a countdown sequence (Fig. 10). Following the countdown sequence (from 8, -, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,
1, 0) which takes about 2 seconds, it veries that sensor readings and battery voltage are within tolerance. If
values are satisfactory, it enters Surface Mode displaying the TIME screen.
When the front (Advance) button is held depressed and as the Diagnostic countdown reaches 00, a Serial
Number screen appears displaying the unit’s Serial Number and rmware code Revision Number as long as
the button is held depressed (Fig. 11). Upon releasing the button, the unit shuts Off.
Once the dive computer is activated, regardless of what mode it is in, it automatically reverts to DIVE MODE
upon descent to 5 FT (1.5 M).
SURFACE SCREENS
TIME SCREEN
The TIME screen appears immediately following diagnostics (if manually activated) on a new day, or re-
activation in FLY/DESAT MODE.
If the unit is wet, the alpha graphic WET replaces the alpha graphic TIME. Once the unit is dry, the WET
graphic is replaced by the TIME graphic.
The graphic TIME (or WET) ashes during the rst 10 minutes after a dive.
TIME/WET SCREENS (Fig. 12/13)
Appearing on the display are -
• Alpha graphic TIME, or WET
• Date (month and day)
• Elapsed surface time (or time since activation if no dive made yet that day) and graphic Surface
• Operating Mode graphic (Nitrox, Air, or Gauge)
• Time of Day (hours:minutes )
• Cylinder Pressure and graphic (PSI or BAR)
• NiBG and O2BG, if any
• Battery icon (if Low Battery Condition)
Pressing the Both buttons simultaneously for less than 2 seconds activates the Backlight.
Pressing the front (Advance) button accesses the DATA screen.
