2 Attention messages and alarms
III UWATEC
®
Smart dive computers
TEC draws the diver’s attention to certain situations and warns the diver of unsafe diving practices. Atten-
tion messages and alarms are always visual and audible under water, only visual at the surface except the
decompression alarm.
The audible attention messages (but not the alarms) can be selectively
switched off with SmartTRAK.

2.1 Attention messages
Attention messages are communicated to the
diver visually by symbols, letters or flashing figu-
res. In addition, two short audible sequences can
be heard (in an interval of 4 seconds) in two diffe-
rent frequencies under water.
Attention messages come up in the following
situations (more information can be found on the
listed pages):

• Maximum Operating Depth / max ppO

is reached 20
• Set maximum depth is reached 19
• Oxygen toxicity reaches 75% 21
• No-stop time = 2 minutes 22
• Prohibited altitude* (surface mode) 25
•

• Remaining Bottom Time < 3 minutes 22
• Tank pressure has reached set warning level 21
• Increased workload 21
• Depth for tank switch has been reached 35
Diving with microbubble levels (L1-L5):
• MB no-stop time = 0 30
• MB level stop ignored 31
• MB level reduced 31
• Entering decompression when diving
with MB level L1-L5 31

2.2 Alarms
Serious injury or death may result from failing to
immediately respond to alarms given by TEC.
Alarms are given to the diver visually by flashing
symbols, letters or figures. In addition, an audible
sequence in one frequency can be heard during
the whole duration of the alarm.
An alarm occurs in the following situations
(more information can be found on the listed
pages):
Page
• Oxygen toxicity reaches 100% 21
• Ignored decompression 23
• Remaining Bottom Time = 0
( can be switched to attention beep) 22
• Exceeding the prescribed ascent rate 20
(Particular scale of beeps, ->20)
• Low battery alarm* see below
