Unless you are fully aware of these risks and are willing to personally accept and assume responsibility for those risks, do not use Aladin TEC 2G. Guidelines for the use of Aladin TEC G: The following guidelines for using Aladin TEC 2G are derived from the latest medical research and the recommendations of the American Academy of Underwater Sciences for diving with diving computers. Following these guidelines will greatly increase your safety while diving, but cannot guarantee that decompression sickness or oxygen toxicity will not occur. [. . . ] After diving in gauge mode, Aladin can not be used as dive computer for 48 hours. Procedure: or until the gauge symbol and 1. From the time of day display push "on" or "off" are displayed. (If Aladin shows " ­ ­ ­ " the gauge mode cannot be switched "on" or "off". Aladin shows " ­ ­ ­ " for 48 hours after a dive in gauge mode and as long as there is remaining desaturation after a dive in computer mode. ) 2.

Confirm your settings with Without confirmation the display will disappear after 3 minutes and your entries will not be accepted. Diving in gauge mode The following information is displayed in gauge mode: DEPTH DIVE TIME Current depth Stopwatch Max depth / Temperature / Average depth (AVG) Dive time Gauge icon >Temperature >Average depth (AVG) >Temperature , Time >Max depth The average depth is continuously updated and represents the time averaged depth since the beginning of the dive. You can reset the average depth at any time by pushing . This generates also a bookmark. 30 IV UWATEC Aladin TEC 2G IV Gauge mode Stopwatch IV In gauge mode, after immersion, Aladin will automatically monitor the dive time and at the same time activate the stopwatch. The stopwatch will run for a maximum of 24 hours. Resets time and starts stopwatch from zero. Each start (restart) of the stopwatch creates a bookmark. Stopwatch icon DEPTH DIVE TIME Timing Hours Minutes Seconds After diving in gauge mode Aladin shows the remaining time span during which it cannot be used in computer mode.

Remaining time during which Aladin cannot be used in computer mode IV UWATEC Aladin TEC 2G 31 English V Diving with microbubble (MB) levels The following chapter deals with the characteristics of diving with microbubble (MB) levels. For general information about displays and features of diving with Aladin see chapter III. Microbubbles are tiny bubbles that can build up inside a diver's body during any dive and normally dissipate naturally during an ascent and on the surface after a dive. Dives within no-stop time and observance of decompression stops do not prevent the formation of microbubbles in the venous blood circulation. Dangerous microbubbles are those migrating into the arterial circulation. The reasons for the migration from the venous blood circulation to the arterial circulation can be a great many microbubbles collecting in the lungs. [. . . ] Aladin can be damaged if you do not insert the battery correctly. Insert the new battery, with "+" pointing outwards, into the battery compartment. After battery replacement Aladin will perform an automatic test (8s) and gives a short beep when the test is done. 10. The battery cap can be installed with a ±120° offset. [. . . ]
