3.4.2 Setting the depth
incremental alarm
With  this  alarm  you  can  set  repetitive 
depth  alarms  at  given  depth  increments. 
By  pressing  the  SEL/ESC  button  in  this 
menu  the  incremental  alarm  depth  starts 
to flash. By pressing the +/UP or –/DOWN 
button you may select the alarm value from 
5 to 100 meters (20..330 feet). By pressing 
SEL/ESC  button  the  alarm  value  will  be 
confirmed  and  the  function  at  the  bottom 
row  starts  flashing.  By  pressing  the  +/UP 
or  –/DOWN  button  you  may  select  the 
direction  for  the  depth  incremental  alarm: 
off, dn (down), up or both.

3.4.3 Setting the dive time interval
warning
You  can  set  a  time  warning  that  repeats 
on  given  intervals.  By  pressing  SEL/ESC 
button  at  this  menu  (SurF)  the  dive  time 
interval time starts to flash. By pressing +/- 
you can select the interval from 15 seconds 
up  to  10  minutes.  By  pressing  SEL/ESC 
button the function starts to flash and you 
may select to enable or disable by choosing 
on/off with the +/UP and –/DOWN button. 
By  pressing  SEL/ESC  again  the  selection 
will be confirmed.

3.4.4 Setting the surface interval
warning
You can set a time for recovery or start time 
for  repetitive  dive  when  training  against 
given tables. By pressing SEL/ESC button 
at this menu the surface interval time starts 
to flash. By pressing +/- you can select the 
interval from 15 seconds up to 10 minutes. 
By  pressing  SEL/ESC  button  the  function 
starts to flash and you may select to enable 
or disable  by  setting  on/off with  the +/UP 
or –/DOWN button. By pressing SEL/ESC 
again the selection will be confirmed.

3.4.5 Setting the low Heart Rate
limit alarm
In APNEA diving a  low  heart  rate  is  a  key 
for low oxygen consumption and therefore 
for  longer  dives.  However,  an  extremely 
low  pulse  at  depth  may  lead  to  loss  of 
awareness and is dangerous.
