After activation the Low Battery Warning is indicated by the battery symbol. If the

battery symbol is displayed in the surface mode or if the display is faded or weak, the

dive computer should not be used (Fig. 3.5). It indicates that the battery is too low to

operate the instrument. If the low battery symbol appears during a dive, you should

abort the dive and begin ascent to the surface.

NOTE: The backlight of the LUX/LUX S models can not be activated, when the low

battery warning is indicated by the battery symbol.

NOTE: Temperature affects the battery voltage. If the dive computer is stored at

temperatures below freezing point, the low battery warning may be displayed even

though the battery has enough capacity in warmer conditions. Make sure that the low

battery warning disappears before diving.

3.3.2 Dive Planning

It is possible at any time on the surface to enter the DIVE PLANNING mode, simply by

touching the PLAN/ON and COM contacts. The display will rapidly cycle through the

no-decompression limits for various depths from 9 m [30 ft] to 45 m [150 ft] in 3 m [10 ft]

increments (Fig. 3.6). It takes about 45 seconds to run through the complete cycle, after

which the dive computer will automatically return to the READY display.

Higher personal/ altitude adjustment modes will shorten the no-decompression time

limits. These limits at different personal/ altitude adjustment mode selections are shown

in Tables 6.1 and 6.2 in Section 6.1, “OPERATING PRINCIPLES”.
