If you exceed the boundaries of a Conditional Violation Mode, or exceed a
40 FT (12 M) stop requirement, one of two Permanent Violation Modes will
be entered; “Delayed Violation Mode” or “Immediate Violation Mode.” Either
of these Permanent Violation Modes will result in loss of some computer
functions for 24 hours after the last dive.
DELAYED VIOLATION MODE
When the PRODIGY enters Delayed Violation Mode it retains the capac-
ity to tell the diver how to get back to the surface. Delayed Violation Mode
will be encountered in either of the following decompression situations:
#1 - Requiring a Decompression Ceiling Deeper than 40 FT (12 M)
If the necessary decompression requires a ceiling depth deeper than 40
feet (12 meters), a Delayed Violation mode will be entered. Once a diver
enters this mode, the entire TLBG will flash (Fig. 25). In this situation, the
amount of decompression time needed to get back to the surface
will still be displayed numerically as the Total Decompression Stop
Time. To get back to the surface, the diver must ascend to just deeper than
40 feet (12 meters) staying as close to 40 feet (12 meters) as possible with-
out causing the Total Decompression Stop Time display to flash. The display
may flash at depths slightly deeper than 40 feet (12 meters) in some situa-
tions. If this happens, descend to the shallowest depth below 40 feet (12
