Including Transceivers in Gas Consumption Calculations
Gas consumption and air time remaining estimates are calculated using the tank pressure from the included
transceivers. By default, the first transceiver that you pair with your compatible dive computer is included. You
can include additional paired transceivers in gas consumption calculations.
1 Hold MENU.
2 Select Dive Setup > Dive Network & Air Integration > Transmitters.
3 Select a paired transceiver.
4 Select the SAC/RMV/ATR toggle switch to include the transceiver in gas consumption calculations.
5 If necessary, repeat steps 2 through 4 to include additional paired transceivers in gas consumption
calculations.
Updating the Transceiver Software Using Your Watch
Before you can update the software, you must pair your Descent transceiver with a Descent Mk3i watch.
1 Select an option to sync your watch:
Sync your watch with the Garmin Dive app.
Connect the watch to your computer using the USB cable, and sync with the Garmin Express
application.
The Garmin Dive app and Garmin Express application automatically look for software updates. When you
sync with the Garmin Dive app, you will be prompted to apply the update at a later time. When you sync with
the Garmin Express application, the update is applied immediately to your watch.
2 Wake the transceiver from low power mode (Waking the Transceiver from Low Power Mode, page9).
3 On the paired Descent watch, hold MENU, select Dive Setup > Dive Network & Air Integration > Transmitters,
and select your transceiver.
4 Wait for the transceiver to connect to your watch.
Connected appears on the watch screen.
5 Select Update Available, press START, and select Install Now.
NOTE: The Update Available option may take up to a minute to appear while the watch determines the
transceiver's software version and battery status. If the battery status is low or critically low, you must
replace the battery before you can install the update.
6 Keep the watch near the transceiver until the software update is complete.
Dive Data Screens
You can press DOWN or double-tap the device to scroll through the data screens.
In the activity settings, you can reorder the default data screens, add a dive stopwatch, and add custom data
screens (Customizing the Data Screens, page60). You can customize the data fields on some of the data
screens.
