SCUBAPRO MERIDIAN
may change  the  value between 1000 and 
1050  gram/liter  (58417..61339  Grains/
gallon).  By  pressing  the  SEL/ESC  button 
the value is confirmed.

3.5 Algorithm selection
You  may  select  your  Meridian  operation 
mode  between  SCUBA,  GAUGE  and 
APNEA modes.
When  Meridian  has  not  been  submerged 
for a while the display will appear as follows:
By  pressing  the  SEL/ESC  button  at  this 
menu the mode starts to flash. By pressing 
the  +/UP  or  –/DOWN  button  you  may 
select  between  SCUBA,  GAUGE  and 
APNEA  modes.  Pressing  the  SEL/ESC 
button will confirm the selection.
Since the GAUGE and APNEA modes
are not tracking the tissue saturation,
there is a 48 h locking interval after the
last dive in GAUGE or APNEA mode
before change to a SCUBA mode is
possible.
Meridian  shown  below  has  been  dived  in 
GAUGE mode  and  the NO CHANGE lock 
is still on for another 4 hours.
From the  last  SCUBA  dive  the  change  to 
GAUGE or to APNEA mode is possible only 
after the desaturation time has elapsed.
If  you  decide  to  change  between  modes 
before the 48 h interval or full desaturation 
you must go to the desaturation reset menu 
and make a manual desaturation reset.
WARNING
Changing ALGO with remaining saturation
could lead to injury or death.
