  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
