1. INTRODUCTION TO
CHROMIS
Your Chromis User Manual is divided into
five main chapters.
1 Introduction to Chromis. This chapter
provides an overview of the Chromis
computer and describes its operating
modes and functions when on the surface.
2 Chromis as a watch. This section
describes Chromis when it is used as a
watch.
3 Chromis as a dive computer. This
chapter describes all settings and functions
of Chromis as a dive computer and takes
you underwater with Chromis. It’s about
everything Chromis can and will do to
enhance your safety and fun underwater.
4 Chromis PC interface. This chapter is
about linking Chromis to your PC/MAC.
It describes how to change settings, to
download and manage your logbook.
5 Taking care of Chromis. This chapter
describes how you should take care of
Chromis after underwater adventures
and also summarizes the main technical
information of this instrument.
Chromis is a technologically-advanced
instrument that can accompany you
during your underwater adventures while
providing you with accurate depth, time
and decompression information. On the
surface its size makes it your ideal everyday
companion. With features such as wake-up
alarm, dual time, stop watch, and altimeter,
Chromis can tackle almost every possible
task.
The buttons allow operating functions,
access menus and setting changes while
on the surface. During the dive they set
bookmarks, show further information on
the computer screen and activate the
backlight.
It is time to dive into the details now. We
hope you will enjoy getting to know your
new computer and we wish you many
happy dives with Chromis.
1.1 Battery
Chromis uses a CR2430 battery type which
is available at your Authorized SCUBAPRO
dealer. Chromis will alert you when the
battery is approaching a critical value by
displaying the battery symbol.
A steady symbol means that the battery is
low, with some reserve left. In dive mode the
backlight cannot be activated. If the symbol
blinks the battery level is dangerously low
and backlight and alarm tones are not
activated; diving is not recommended
before replacing the battery.
