ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO BRIGHTNESS & POWER CONSUMPTION
As indicated in various sections of this manual, there are numerous factors that affect battery consumption. Some can reduce battery use life quite rapidly
such as keeping the Brightness level set at 100% and not taking advantage of the Auto Dim feature to conserve power when the screen is not being viewed
during dives.
Note that Auto Dim settings are entered only when on the surface and cannot be changed once a dive is started.
Remember also that a press/release of the S (side) button will restore the Dive Main screen from the Auto Dim level to the Brightness level you adjusted it to.
The chart below provides approximate Hours of Operation that can be expected for a new battery before it displays a Low Battery Warning condition
(BATT icon is green until it turns yellow).
> As indicated by the chart, the hours will vary depending on different combinations of Brightness levels that you might use together with Auto Dim set-
tings that you may chose to consider using for activities to be conducted.
> Testing indicates that once the Low Battery icon comes on yellow, indicating a low battery warning condition, operations may continue for 3 hours
with the Brightness held at 60% maximum.
It may not be possible to keep track of the time that has transpired once the icon color changes and a low battery alarm
condition could appear unexpectedly.
