4.1.6. – Instrument reset.
The instrument may be completely reset, by depressing the
small button on the back of the instrument, shown as "RESET"
(picture 34). This will result in information relating to nitrogen
absorption and time/date to be cancelled.
WARNING: By resetting the instrument, all computations
relating to current de-saturation are cancelled! Do not
reset your instrument if it has to be used to compute sub-
sequent dives!
NOTE: Dive logbook, profile and historic memory remain
stored in the memory even after the instrument’s reset.
The setting will revert back to the values set at the factory
(Dive Air program, that is FO2=21% and PO2=1.4 bar, maxi-
mum depth alarm on m 40 (ft. 132), not working).
Such function may be especially useful in case of instrument’s
renting by Diving Centres.

4.2.1. – DIVE simulator program ( )
Archimedes II is equipped with a simulator program ( ),
which allows the diver to become acquainted with the com-
puter’s different functions. The simulator program allows per-
sonal dives’ planning.
The program is entered by repeatedly depressing button B
(Mode), until the ( ) icon appears on the UFDS display
UFDS (picture 35): The display showing (possible) surface
interval starts flashing, waiting for a value to be set by the
diver. Depress button A ( ) to enter the simulation program
without surface interval, that is without data on residual nitro-
gen, or depress button C to extend the surface time previous
to the simulated dive.
At this point, it is possible to simulate multi-levelled dives (pic-
ture 36), by depressing button C ( ) to increase depth, or but-
ton A ( ) to surface, by verifying in real time what the display
shows during the dive’s different stages, including both sound
and visible alarms. At the end of the simulated dive, the com-
puter will give the relating surface and de-saturation time, and
it is possible to simulate the subsequent dive’s progress as
well. By depressing button B you view the display of subse-
