Seriously, on my unit that's not the case.  Yes it alarmed about the P02
but still worked fine.  I now set the computer to 90% at 25 ft.  I'm
using 100% but we won't tell the computer about that!  My problem has
been on repetitive dives that it tends to crap out and calculate really
crazy dives.  The unit is supposed to only calculate a maximum of 3 hrs.
deco but I've had mine calculating 7-9 hours.  Even maxed it out once at
9:59 deco.  You would have thought it was in surface mode if it weren't
for the blinking "DEC".

I still say it's a damn good bottom timer!!

	You need to set the O2 to something less than %100, This nice
little bug
	was pointed out to me. It is punching out when it goes over 1.6
PPO2.

	So if you go to 20.5 ft your toast. And as you said it is the
most expensive
	bottom timer I own.
