8.4. Deco Planner
Introduction
• Calculates decompression profiles for simple
dives�
• Calculates gas consumption based on RMV
The Terns deco planner is best suited to
decompression diving� For no-decompression diving,
use the quick NDL Planner described on the previous
page�
Setup
The planner uses the current gases programmed
into the Tern in the current dive mode, as well as the
current GF low/high settings�
When used on the surface
Enter the expected surface
interval, bottom depth, bottom
time, respiratory minute
volume (RMV)�
Note: Residual tissue loading
(and CNS%) from recent dives
will be used in calculating the
profile
When the correct values are
entered, select “Run Plan”
and confirm decompression
settings and starting CNS�
8.3. Test Alerts
The Test Alerts pop-up provides a quick way to ensure
your alerts are working and that you are able to feel
them through your exposure suit�
Use the up and down arrows to select an alert and
press select to test it�
The Test Alerts pop-up should be used regularly if you
use vibration notifications�
Note, this feature only tests the different alerts that
may occur during a dive� Which alert activates in each
Warning, Info, or Error situation is not customizable
with the exception of Freediving Alerts (page 34)�

Caution
Although vibration alerts are very useful,
never rely on them for your safety�
Electromechanical devices can and will
eventually fail�
Always be proactively aware of your depth,
no-decompression limit, gas supply, and
other critical dive data� You are ultimately
responsible for your own safety�
