OPERATIONAL MODES
The PRODIGY operates in ten different modes and the visual difference
between them is quite evident. Mode Icons, described in detail beginning on
page 19, identify the various displays to eliminate confusion.
DIAGNOSTIC MODE/ACTIVATION
Diagnostic Mode is displayed immediately following activation. After
pressing and releasing the activation button, Diagnostic Mode will display all
“eights” followed by dashes, and then a countdown from 9 to 0. It will then
enter Surface Mode signalling a successful diagnostic check. During the
countdown, the PRODIGY checks its display functions and battery voltage to
ensure everything is working properly. If battery voltage is below the level
sufficient for a day's operation, the Battery Icon, located to the upper left of
the Time Display, will be displayed and will flash continuously. After decreas-
ing to 15% of rated voltage all graphic displays will shut off except the Bat-
tery Icon which will flash 15 final times prior to shutdown of the PRODIGY.
WARNING - Never activate the PRODIGY if the computer is under-
water. This may result in inaccurate depth and no-decompression
time displays. Activation is not possible deeper than ten feet under-
water.
If two hours elapse after activation without making a dive, the PRODIGY
will deactivate to save battery power. Be sure to check your computer
