1. Put on wrist.
2. Get in water.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 above as needed.

I picked up an Uwatec Digital Depth Gauge/Timer at a closeout. If
anyone has an users manual that they could copy for me I would
appreciate it.  Return info by private e-mail.
 
Thanks

Perhaps I can elaborate a bit on Jess' response:

Switching on the device

Automatically: on submerging in the water
Manually: by touching the right and top contacts with moistened fingers

After switching on, all signs of the display light up for approximately
5 seconds for testing purposes.  Afterwards, a count-down of all
figures from 9 to 0 starts.  After this check, the unit switches into
ready mode.  If no dive is started within the following three minutes,
the device switches into standby mode automatically (no display).

Current depth

The current depth is displayed in meters (feet).  The depth measuring
is calibrated in meters (feet) fresh water according to international
standards Therefore in salt water (sea) the display shows a greater
depth than the actual salt water depth.

Maximum Depth

Maximum depth of a dive is only displayed if it is greater than the
current depth (maximum indicator function).  To prevent the maximum
depth from continuously lighting up and going off, the display only
appears when the current depth is 1 m (or 3 feet) smaller than the
maximum depth and goes off when the original maximum depth is reached
again.

Dive Time

The Digital indicates the time the diver has spent below 1.2 m (4 feet)
in minutes.  The colon flashes when the clock is running.  Maximum dive
time displayed is 99 minutes.  Afterwards, the time measuring restarts
at zero.

Temperature

The Digital measures water and air temperature and displays the values
in C (or F).  Beside the value of the temperature, the symbol [Temp]
appears.  It may take a few minutes until the exact temperature is
displayed, since the sensor for the temperature is located inside the
housing.

Rate of Ascent

The ideal rate of ascent varies depending on the depth.  The Digital
measures your rate of ascent and compares it to the programmed target
values.  When ascending, the display of the temperature extinguishes
and a percentage appears in its place.  It indicates the current
percentage of the target value.  Beside, the symbol [Speed] is
displayed.

Ascent warning

100% corresponds to the recommended ascent rate.  At 110% an additional
optical warning in the shape of an arrow appears.  Above 140% the arrow
flashes.

Surface Functions

Surface Mode

After the dive, the diplay [---] appears for 5 minutes.  If diving is
resumed during this period, it is added to the dive just started. 
After this 5 minute period, the dive is completed and entered in the
logbook.  In surface mode, the Digital displays [surface] and the
surface interval.  The surface interval runs untiul another dive is
performed or until it has reached 24 hours.  The Digital then switches
into standby mode.  In surface mode, the Digital also indicates air
temperature.  If there is no operation for 3 minutes, the display
extinguishes.  However, the surface interval keeps on running.

Logbook

The Digital stores the data of the last 9 dives.  A dive is only
entered if depth was below 1.2 m (4 feet) and the duration longer than
2 minutes.  On touching the left and right contacts with your fingers
after switching on or during the surface mode, the mode display [log
no.] appears.  The dive number [1] and maximum depth as well as dive
time of the last dive are displayed.  If the ascent warning [arrow] was
displayed during the dive for a longer period, it is also entered in
the logbook.  On every subsequent touching of the logbook contacts the
previous dive to the one currently displayed is called up.  After the
9th dive (the oldest one), the most recent dive with the number 1
appears again.  If you keep your fingers permanently on the left and
right contacts the dives of the logbnook are called up in sequence.  If
another dive is performed, the dive numbers are moved one step
backwards and the oldest dive up to that moment (no. 9 so far) is
deleted.  The current or latest dive gets the logbook number 1.  The
nine most recent dives are always stored in the logbook.  By touching
the left and right contacts the logbook is closed and the Digital goes
back to a state of rest.  This also occurs automatically if none of the
contacts are touched for 3 minutes.


Hope this helps.

-Sean
