Vision dive time keeps going

PeteS · 26th September 2006, 10:58

Last week I did a dive in the morning of about 60 minutes. I turned off the unit for the surface interval. In the afternoon I was 40 minutes into another dive, when I noticed that the dive timer was showing 100 minutes. All other numbers on the display seemed sensible so no real problem, but.....??

Anyone else seen this?

Hi,

Wonder if this is another symptom of the problem discussed before with the partial switch on of the unit? I recall it being mentioned to hold down the on button until the handset had stopped beeping.

Did you do this in this instance?

I don't have an answer, but out of interest, what version of software are you running?

Thanks

we have not had any timer issues since holding the button down firmly for 3 seconds when firing up as directed by AP via email.

I did have a version that worked once. Next time I have one that works, I'll just ignore any upgrades.........

I don't remeber, but software that needs this kind of input is of pisspoor design.

Hi Gill.
The latest email i recieved from ap is dated 04/07-2006 regarding the software update v02.01.02.

Can you confirm any other "public"email from ap concerning the push and hold procedure when starting up?

regards Allan

What...you mean like having to keep the key turned in the ignition until the engine starts?

Only pulling your leg mate... it is a poor feature... if it doesn't get held down long enough it should fail safe...

I don't think AP fully gets how this is comming off for folks, it's much more serious to us than it appears to be for them... it really does make you not want to fix what ain't broke. my wife's was upgraded at the factory with no problems since...i'm leery of updating mine since i baught it in april since i have not had any of these issues with the timing.

i'm not referring to an official release, I was referring to instructions i received directly from Nicky from AP when i mentioned this issue over email. She seems generally very helpful.
