Suunto VYTEC DS User Guide

The timekeeping display is the default display 
of the instrument (Fig. 2.1.). If a button is not 
pressed within 5 minutes, the dive com puter 
beeps and returns to the timekeeping display 
automatically (except in Diving and Simula-
tion modes). The timekeeping display shuts 
off  after two hours, but pressing the PLAN or 
TIME button  activates it.

For best use of the Vytec take some time and 
make it YOUR computer.

Set the correct time and date. Read this  manual. 
Set dive alarms and make all the  other settings 
listed in the introduction in this  manual. Install 
the Vytec in your console or fi t it on your wrist.  
If the Vytec is to be used with the optional wire-
less pressure transmitter  install it and enable 
the pressure transmission in the Vytec’s set-
tings. Try the pressure transmission.

Use the dive simulator for getting to know the 
dive display

All this so you know your computer and have 
it set up as you want it before getting into the 
water.

The dive computer has easy-to-use push 
 buttons and an advisory display, which guides 
the user. The SMART (MODE) button is the 
key to the system. The two scroll buttons, 
PLAN and TIME, are used for scrolling up 
and down the menus and to show the alterna-
tive displays. The dive computer is controlled 
with these three push buttons as follows 
(see Fig. 2.2.).
