Date. Time, and Temperature Displays. Oceanic VT 3

Time, Date, Temperature Displays

Time of Day and NORM/GAUG Mode displays are shown in hour:minute format (i.e., 1:16 represents 1 hour and

16 minutes, not 116 minutes).

FREE Dive Mode displays are shown in minute:second format. The colon that separates hours and minutes (minutes and seconds) blinks once per second when the display is indicating real time (e.g., Surface Interval, Elapsed Dive Time), and is solid

(non-blinking) when times are calculated projections (e.g., Time to Fly, Plan).

The Primary Time display, at the bottom of the screen, has the largest digits of the display (Fig. 12a). Another time display

(Fig. 12b) is located in the middle row. Both displays are identified by the symbol TIME.

There is an Alternate Display providing Day of Week, Temperature, and Time of Day. This common display (Fig. 13) can be accessed while operating in NORM, GAUG, or FREE

Modes while on the Surface and during Dives.

Date is displayed only to identify dives when they are accessed in the LOG Mode. When set for Imperial Units, Month is to the left of Day (Fig. 14a) separated by a decimal point (month.day).

When set for Metric, Month is to the right of Day (day.month).
