Folks -

Today in a moment of weakness I succumbed and bought an Aladin Maestro
Pro (aka Nemesis II Nitrox).  When I got the beast home, I started to
RTFM, and found on page 43 'Gauge Mode Alarm' the warning that:

'Your computer will go into Gauge Mode if:

  more an five minutes has elapsed with the depth less than the ceiling
[snip]'

So now I'm worried.  I bought the machine for decompression diving.  I
understood from advertising that this was a deco computer, in fact they
had gone to the trouble of adding a second mix feature specifically designed
to support air diving with a high O2 deco gas.  Now I read the manual and it
implies that the computer will turn into a gauge if I don't 'ascend
immediately' when it indicates that deco is required.

Is this a 'feature' of the Beuchat version, or is it a Cochran feature?
From the manual, it looks like I should return the thing in the morning.
Am I reading this wrong?

Thanks,
Scott.
