Blinking shearwater gf

**Fun Under Pressure** · 16th March 2008, 20:34

I dive a TX 21/35 at 55 m/ 15 minute´s. At the ascent (approx. 20 m) the 21/35 numbers (in the bottom line) begins to blink

. After a few minute´s / approx. 10 m the blinking stop´s. Any ideas....

Thanks for your help.

Cheers Markku

Do you have any other diluent programed in? If so its prompting you for a diluent switch.

Only have the diluent your using programed in. All other gases on the CCR setting should be blank.

If not it will calculate deco assuming your gas switching on ascent.

Well, Markku... you beat me to it. I've only been using my GF for a few weeks and I was wondering exactly the same thing (and bizarrely on almost exactly the same profile) this afternoon. Glad I'm not the only one who has found the manual useless

Hi Mark,

I think it will calculate TTS assuming you switch, but the deco will be correct, as it notices that you don't witch, and so will give you deco-obligation according to your tissues at the time

You are correct. Its just the deco as diplayed (ie TTS) will be wrong.

Cheers Markku

Nope, it's not very good at all.

I quite liked the manual. I thought it was clear.

What's there is clear enough but it isn't overly extensive or very user friendly. Luckily, the computer is easy enough to figure out but for what it costs I'd have expected a better manual. I'm still not entirely sure I've got mine setup properly but as I'm not bent I can only presume I have
