VR3 shows 28.6 m at surface !!!

dodelineur · 17th August 2007, 19:35

Hi,

I have a problem with my brand new VR3.
I did only one dive with it to 50m without any problem.
Today, I tried to start it to play a little bit with it, and it showed "low battery" (The battery was the one provided with the computer), it turned off, and when I tried to trun it on again, the unit started in diving mode, at a depth of 28.6 meters...

I tried to change the battery, and it shows directly the diving screen when the new battery is in...and the depth moves from 28.6 m to 0.0 meters, but without leaving the diving mode even when the depth is 0.0m

any experience about that?

When I think I have just sold my old "brick style" VR3 to buy this new one....

dont' know really. all i know is that feeling. when something is working, then why change it? i've gone through this myself mate. i hope you sort it out. the question is, do you trust that thing to dive with it? no mind games? i would not.

just an opinion.

Hi Dodelineur,

That is a new one on me normally when the battery drops out the Vr3 will come back showing that the day - date screen needs to be reset.

I would suggest you return this unit for checking by Delta P and I am sure they will turn it around very quickly or depending on your supplier get a replacement.
