Mine will test the HUD any time you turn it on. Shut it off then turn it on and watch the led.

Do you actually have the HUD switched on ? There is another option on the secondary menu for that. I'm not sure if the test works independant of that (never tried it as it does it anyway on boot up), but its worth a try...

As mention by Dive!Dive! your secondary handset in the HUD page could be in the disable mode, you need to enabled your HUD and testing it after should be no problem.

Cheers

There's you, I, and one other person I know of that has had a faulty Meg delivered new. Mine had a broken conductor for the primary.

Was fixed and this has been the only complaint I have had after more than 2 years of rough treatment

and heavy usage. Has never let me down since

.

Good luck and dive safe.

Gilles,

the meg was not new but the previous owner had no idea it was broken, to be honest it would appear that it has faced the wrath of the baggage handler at the airport

Gilles,

... the wrath of the baggage handler at the airport

Hmm lets see now....I've got a story of a Miri airport handler who misplaced my Meg (marked priority business class) and it went unaccompanied to Kuala Lumpur and back, with a very bent bolt on the STA, along with a good sized gouge

...

then there was the Manila airport handler who let the bag fall off the top of the pile, breaking off the O2 feed support and pushing the O2 feed backward, on the way to a diving trip

.

then the philipino boat boy who slipped transferring Meg from small to big boat, Meg falling some 2m, landing head first onto hard iron floor breaking the handle.

She just kept on ticking, after a bit of straightening and testing

. All fixed up now and waiting for our next adventure

.
