When in the Nitrox Setting mode the equiva-
lent allowed maximum depth based on the 
chosen setting will also be displayed. Settings 
for additional mixes (MIX2, MIX3) are made 
similarly but with the selection of “ON” or “OFF” 
for these. 
In order to minimise risk of error during the dive 
it is highly recommended that the mixes are set 
with proper order. This means that as the mix 
number rises so does oxygen content and this 
is the order they are usually used during the 
dive. Before a dive set “on” only the mixes you 
actually have available and remember to check 
the set values so they are correct.  
To enter the Nitrox/Oxygen Setting Mode se-
lect MODE- 3 SET- 1 SET DIVE- 4 NITROX. 
The default oxygen percentage (O
2
%) setting 
is 21% (air) and oxygen partial pressure (PO
2
setting 1.4 bar (Fig. 4.28.). After entering  values 
for MIX1 you can enable/disable and set addi-
tional gas mixes MIX2 and MIX3 (Fig. 4.29).
NOTE! If only MIX 1 is enabled (MIX2/3 set OFF 
and set to 21%), MIX1 will revert to default set-
tings (21% O
2
 and PO
2
 1.4 bar) after approxi-
mately 2 hours.  If either MIX2 or MIX3 have 
oxygen content greater than 21% or are set ON, 
settings for all mixes are stored until changed.
