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.
=20
Thanks

Perhaps I can elaborate a bit on Jess' response:
=20
Switching on the device
=20
Automatically: on submerging in the water
Manually: by touching the right and top contacts with moistened =
fingers
=20
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).
=20
Current depth
=20
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.
=20
Maximum Depth
=20
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.
=20
Dive Time
=20
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.
=20
Temperature
=20
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.
=20
Rate of Ascent
=20
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.
=20
Ascent warning
=20
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.
=20
Surface Functions
=20
Surface Mode
=20
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.
=20
Logbook
=20
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.
=20
=20
Hope this helps.
