NOTE: If you surface and then dive again within the set end time, Suunto Ocean counts
it as one dive.
Brightness
The brightness setting determines the overall intensity of display brightness during dive
activities: Low, Medium (default) or High (default). The brightness setting is
specific to the dive
mode, and does not
aect other dive modes, outdoor modes or the general brightness
setting.
To save battery life during dive activities, the display brightness will lower after a period of
inactivity. Any wrist movement, button press, or alarm trigger the full brightness mode. You
can also adjust the brightness during dive by long pressing the upper button.
CAUTION: Prolonged use of the high brightness display reduces battery life and may
cause screen burn-in. Avoid using high brightness for extended period to lengthen display
lifetime.

5.4. Dive alarms
Suunto Ocean has color-coded mandatory warnings. They are shown prominently on the
display with an audible and vibration alarm. Warnings are always red and they are critical
events that always require immediate action. You can dismiss the audio and vibration but the
warning will stay red until the situation has been resolved.
With Suunto Ocean, you can also
define your own alarms and set the preferred audio,
vibration and appearance.
