PATENT NOTICE

U.S. Patents have been issued, or applied for, to protect the following design features:

Dive Computer with Free Dive Mode and Wireless Data Transmission (U.S. Patent no. 7,797,124), Dive Computer with Free Dive Mode (U.S. Patent no.

8,600,701), and Air Time Remaining (U.S. Patent no. 6,543,444). Other patents pending. User Setable Display (U.S. Patent no. 5,845,235) is owned

by Suunto Oy Finland.

DECOMPRESSION MODEL

The programs within the A300 CS simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is merely a way to apply

a limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The A300 CS dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompres-

sion theory. Still, using the A300 CS, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other) No Decompression Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding

decompression sickness, i.e. “the bends.” Every diver’s physiology is different, and can even vary from day to day. No machine can predict how

your body will react to a particular dive proﬁle.

Pay special attention to items marked with this Warning symbol.

• A (right front) - Advance, Add (increase).

• S (right side) - Select, Save.

ACTIVATION

To activate the A300 CS, press/release any button.

• A Welcome screen will be displayed for 3 seconds (Fig. 2)* during which diagnostics will be performed verifying that

sensors and battery voltage are within tolerance.

*After the Battery is replaced on a new day prior to performing any dives, a message is displayed before the Welcome.

• It will also check ambient barometric pressure, and calibrate present depth as 0. When at 3001 feet (916 meters), or

higher, it will adjust depth for the higher altitude.

• After the diagnostic check, the Home Menu screen will be displayed (Fig. 3) allowing you to select what you would like to

do (view information, perform setup, access operating modes).

• If no button is pressed within 2 minutes, the unit will enter PSM (Power Saver Mode) turning the screen off.

Refer to page 8.

• If no dive is made within 2 hours, the unit will shut Off.

Wet activation contacts will automatically activate the unit and cause it to enter dive mode when the contacts become wet and

it senses depth of 5 FT (1.5 M). They will not inadvertently activate Surface Mode such as when in a wet gear bag.

MENU SYSTEM

The viewing area is used to display alpha numeric messages and measured values as well as menu type systems for selection of

settings and various auxiliary functions. It also serves as the Digital Compass.

Menus which are identiﬁed by function such as Main, Set, and Switch. The items available within the menus vary according to

the mode you are in at the time. Some settings, such as for Units, are common throughout the modes and can be changed in any

Utilities Menu.

BRIGHTNESS CONTROL

The level (%) of screen Brightness can be adjusted by accessing the Brightness Adjustment screen while viewing the Home Menu

screen, or a Surface or Dive Main screen (NORM, GAUG, or FREE), or the Compass OP Main screen.

• A (2 sec), while on the surface or during dives, will access a Brightness adjustment screen with the last % highlighted and

ﬂashing. During a Low Battery Warning or Alarm condition, the level will be limited to 60% maximum.

ADJUST BRIGHTNESS, information is to include (Fig. 10):

> xx % (last value saved), ﬂashing.

• S (2 sec) to step back to the screen from which access was gained without changing the % value.

• A (< 2 sec) to step upward through values of 10% to 100% one at a time in increments of 10%.

• M (< 2 sec) to step down through values one at a time.

• S (< 2 sec) to save the % setting and revert to the screen from which access was gained.

TIP: When an adjustment is made during a dive that is lower than the Auto Dim % set prior to the dive, the screen will remain

illuminated at the level you save until you adjust it to a % level above the Auto Dim % set.

AUDIBLE ALARM

While operating in NORM or GAUG Mode, the Audible will emit 1 beep per second for 10 seconds when alarms strike, unless it

is set Off. During that time, the Audible can be acknowledged and silenced by pressing S (< 2 sec).

The Audible will not be active when it is set OFF (a Set Alarms Menu selection).

FREE Dive Mode alarms, which emit 3 short beeps either 1 or 3 times, cannot be acknowledged or set OFF.

Alarms that strike during operations in Compass Mode are described on page 45.

Situations that will activate the NORM/GAUG 10 second Alarm include -

** Items apply only in NORM mode.

• Air Time Remaining (ATR) at 5 minutes, then again at 0 minutes.

• Turn Pressure at the value set (Transmitter 1 only).

• End Pressure at the value set (active Transmitter).

• Descent deeper than the Depth Alarm value set.

• Dive Time Remaining at the value set**.

• Elapsed Dive Time at the value set.

• PO2 level at .20 < value set for the gas in use and again at the value set**.

• O2 accumulation at 240 OTU (80%), then again at 300 OTU (100%)**.

• TLBG at the value set**.

• Ascent Rate (alarm = all 5 segments) exceeds 60 FPM (18 MPM) when deeper than 60 FT (18 M), or 30 FPM (9 MPM) at

60 FT (18 M) and shallower.

• Loss of the active Transmitter Link signal for more than 15 seconds during a dive.

• Entry into Decompression (Deco)**.

• Conditional Violation (above a required Deco Stop Depth < 5 minutes)**.

• Delayed Violation (above a required Deco Stop Depth => 5 minutes)**.

• Delayed Violation (a Deco Stop Depth > 60 FT/18 M is required)**.

• Delayed Violation (Depth > 330 FT/100 M).

• A Gas Switch would expose the diver to PO2 => 1.60 ATA for that gas**.

A single short beep (which cannot be disabled) sounds when -

• 5 minutes elapse on the surface after the Violation dive.

3 short beeps (which cannot be disabled) sound when -

• Ascent Rate (warning = 4 segments) is 51 to 60 FPM (15.1 to 18 MPM) when deeper than 60 FT (18 M), or 26 to 30 FPM

(7.5 to 9 MPM) at 60 FT (18 M) and shallower.

A300 CS OPERATING MANUAL

OPERATING MODES

HOME >> This is a base mode that provides access to general items common to the operating dive modes.

NORM >> This is an operating dive mode used for Air and Nitrox scuba activity with up to 4 gases and transmitters.

If no previous dive has been taken within the past 24 hours, NORM is the default mode upon activation with others accessed as described later.

GAUG >> This is an operating dive mode used for scuba activity with up to 4 transmitters but without Ni-O2 calculations.

Once a GAUG dive has been conducted, operation locks into this mode for 24 hours.

FREE >> This is an operating dive mode used for breath hold diving activity with depth/time indication.

Ni-O2 calculations are performed while in FREE mode and are carried over between NORM and FREE.

COMPASS >> This is the navigation mode that can be used at any time while on the surface and during dives.

At any time while operating in Surface Modes*, operation will enter the Dive Mode selected upon descent to 5 FT (1.5 M) for 5 seconds.

*When a Low Battery Alarm condition is present, BATT icon is red, entry into Dive Modes is blocked.

• When Wet Activation is set Off, Dive Mode will only be activated when the unit is ﬁrst activated and operating in a surface mode.

• When Wet Activation is set On, the selected Dive Mode will activate upon descent regardless of whether it is turned on by button ﬁrst.

Operation shifts from Dive Mode to Surface Mode upon ascent to 2 FT (0.6 M) for 1 second; however, most surface mode screens will not be available

until a transition time elapses.

The reason for this is that making a descent during the ﬁrst 10 minutes after surfacing from a NORM or GAUG dive, or during the ﬁrst 1 minute after

surfacing from a FREE dive, is a continuation of that same dive.

A descent made after the 10 minute (or 1 minute) interval has elapsed is then considered a new dive.

During the ﬁrst 10 minutes after surfacing from a NORM or GAUG dive, or the ﬁrst 1 minute after surfacing from a FREE dive, the Dive Main screen will

be displayed with Surface Interval time replacing Current Depth. Dive ALTs can be accessed to view other information pertaining to that dive.
