ACTIVATION
To activate the DSX, press and release any button. The DSX will also turn on if its metal contacts become wet and
you descend below 1.5 m (5 ft) for 5 seconds.
• Upon activation, the unit will display the Activation screen and perform a diagnostic check. The DSX checks the
display and voltage at this time to ensure that everything is within tolerance.
• It will also check ambient barometric pressure, and calibrate present depth as 0 m (ft). When at 916 m (3001 ft),
or higher, it will adjust for the higher altitude.
• After the Diagnostic check, the DSX will display the Dive Main screen.
NOTE: The DSX has no off button or command. If no buttons are pressed or dives made, the unit will
enter Sleep Mode after 5 minutes. Within 2 hours of no buttons being pressed or dives made, the unit
will shut itself off. However, the DSX will stay on for a 24 hour period after a dive, counting down FLY
(time to y) and DESAT (desaturation time) if a dive has been made.
