Suunto D5 - Gas Time; Idle and Deep Sleep

3.18. Gas time
Gas time refers to remaining air (gas) left with current gas mixture, measured in minutes. The
time is based on tank pressure value and your current breathing rate.
Gas time is also highly dependent on your current depth. For example, all other factors being
the same, including breathing rate, tank pressure and tank size, depth aects gas time as
follows:
•
At 10 m (33 ft, surrounding pressure 2 bar), gas time is 40 minutes.
•
At 30 m (99 ft, surrounding pressure 4 bar), gas time is 20 minutes.
•
At 70 m (230ft, surrounding pressure 8 bar), gas time is 10 minutes.
Gas time can be viewed at the bottom of dive mode screens. If you have not paired a Suunto
Tank POD, the gas time
field shows N/A. If you have paired a POD but there is no data being
received, the
field shows - -. This may be because the POD is not in range, the tank is closed,
or the POD battery is low.
NOTE: It is important to adjust tank size, tank pressure and personal gas consumption
to get the gas calculations right.
3.19. Idle and deep sleep
Idle and deep sleep are functions that are designed to prolong battery life.
Idle
When you press any button on your Suunto D5, it goes to active mode and the display
backlight is activated (if turned on) and the seconds become visible on the watch face (red
rectangle moving). After two minutes, the device goes to idle mode: the number of colors is
reduced to save power and moving elements are turned o.
Deep sleep
Deep sleep is a function that prolongs battery life when Suunto D5 has not been used for
some time. Deep sleep is activated when one day has passed since:
•
No buttons have been pressed
•
Suunto D5 has been attached to PC/charger
•
Dive calculation has ended
Suunto D5 wakes up when it is connected to a PC/charger, when a button is pressed, or when
the water contact gets wet.
When not used, your Suunto D5 goes from active mode to idle mode and
finally to deep
sleep.
Wake up your Suunto D5 by pressing any button, or connecting to a computer / charger, or
activating the water contact by immersing the device in water.
