I wish I knew.  I went to Florida this past weekend and on the way out
to the dive site I tried to check my tank pressure and couldn't get any
tank data.  I tried several times to re-pair it to no avail (it didn't
even give me the "pair" message). This is a new unit, it has seen action
no more than 4 times so I wouldn't expect it to be the batteries.

Let me also give a warm thanks to Cochran for screwing all of us Uwatec
owners.

Mike
