FLY/SAT TIME
Time to Fly is a countdown timer that begins counting down from 23:50 to 0:00 (hr:min) 10 minutes after surfacing from a dive.
Time to Desaturate, also a countdown timer, provides calculated time for tissue desaturation at sea level taking into consideration
the Conservation Factor setting. It also begins counting down 10 minutes after surfacing from a NORM dive, counting down
9:59 to 0:00 (hr:min).
When the SAT countdown reaches 0:00, which will generally occur prior to the FLY countdown reaching 0:00, it will remain on
the display until the FLY countdown reaches 0:00.
> When other screens are accessed, the FLY and SAT countdowns continue in the background.
> Dsat is not displayed after a Gauge or Violation dive.
> Desaturation requiring times greater than 24 hours will display 24 - until it decreases to 9:59 (hr:min) .
> In the event that Time to Desaturate still remains at the end of 24 hours, any remaining time will be cleared.
Fly/Sat, information includes (Fig. 7):
> Time to Fly (hr:min) with icon, - : - - if no dive yet.
> Time to Desaturation (hr:min) with SAT icon; - : - - if no dive yet, 0:00 if no time remaining.

PLAN MODE (NORM)
No Deco Dive Times (NDLs/OTLs) in Plan Mode are based on -
> the algorithm selected (DSAT or Z+).
> the FO2 set for Gas 1.
> the setting for the Conservative Factor (Off or On*)
> any residual nitrogen or oxygen remaining from previous NORM dives.
*When the Conservative Factor is set On, Dive times are reduced to the values of the next higher 3000 foot (915 meter)
Altitude. Refer to tables in back.
Plan Lead-in, information includes (Fig. 8A, B):
> Max Depth allowed for the PO2 alarm value set for Gas 1 with MAX and FT (or M) icons, blank if FO2 is set for Air.
> Z+ (or DSAT) icon, algorithm selected.
> NX icon, if Nitrox.
> CF icon, if set On.
> Gas 1 icon.
> PO2 alarm value set for Gas 1 with icon, blank if Air
> FO2 set for Gas 1 with icon, graphic Air or numeric value (21 to 100).
> Graphic PLAN.

PDPS (Pre Dive Planning Sequence)
The PDPS displays Depths and allowable No Deco Dive Times (up to 999 minutes), NDLs if nitrogen is in control or OTLs if O2 is
in control.
It will sequence through PDPS screens displaying Depths from 30 to 190 FT (9 to 57 M) with Plan times* based upon the previous
dive profiles in a series of repetitive dives and taking into account descent and ascent rates of 60 FPM (18 MPM).
*If less than 1 minute time is available, dashes will be displayed for time, and Depth values will flash.
PDPS, information includes (Fig. 9):
> Plan Depth value with FT (or M) icon.
> Z+ (or DSAT) icon, algorithm selected.
> NX icon, if Nitrox.
> CF icon, if set On.
> Gas 1 icon.
> Dive Time (minutes) allowed with NDC (or O2) and min icons.
> Graphic PLAN.
• A (< 2 sec) to step up through PDPS screens.
• A (hold) to scroll up through PDPS screens at 8 per second from 30 to 190 FT (9 to 57 M) in increments of 10 FT (3 M).
• S (< 2 sec) to revert to the Lead-in after the last screen.
• S (2 sec) to revert to the Lead-in screen.
• S (press) to activate SMARTGLO Backlight.
