2.3. WATER CONTACTS

The Mosquito is automatically activated when

submerged in water. This function is made possible by

the use of water contacts. The water contacts consist

of the PC-interface poles and the four push-buttons

of the Mosquito (Fig. 2.2). When the PC-interface

poles and one of the push-buttons are connected by

the conductivity of the water the Surface or Diving

Mode is automatically activated.

Contamination or dirt on the PC-interface poles may

prevent this automatic operation. It is, therefore,

important that the poles are kept clean. The poles

can be cleaned with fresh water and a soft brush (e.g.

tooth brush).

NOTE: Water or moisture build-up around the

wa ter contacts may cause the contact to activate auto-

matically. This can happen, e.g., when washing your

hands or sweating. If the water contact activates in

the Time Mode, an AC text will appear on display

(Fig. 2.3.), and it will be shown until the water con tact

deactivates, or the Mosquito enters the Dive Mode

automatically. To save the battery power, you should

deactivate the water contact by cleaning it and/or dry-

ing it with a soft towel.

indicated by the text AC.
