How the Features Help

• Navigation: Console 3 includes a separate analogue compass alongside the Donatello computer and pressure gauge. Practise taking and following bearings before diving.

Choosing and Setting Up This Model

Compare the modes, gas capability, display and mounting arrangement with the diving you are trained to do. Check exactly what this listing includes, particularly transmitters, interfaces and charging accessories. Configure the computer using its own manual and confirm gases, alerts, units and battery status before diving. A depth rating describes an instrument limit and does not establish a suitable dive depth.

Gear Care and Maintenance

After every dive, rinse gently in fresh water to remove salt, chlorine and grit. Let residue soften by soaking only as the model’s manual permits, and operate buttons during rinsing only where instructed. Do not direct a high-pressure hose or compressed air at sensor openings, and never probe them with a tool.

Use a soft cloth on the housing and screen. Use only the cleaning product and method approved in this model’s manual; avoid solvents, abrasives, bleach and strong detergents. Let the instrument and strap air dry fully in the shade before packing or charging.

Inspect the strap, attachment points, display and seals before use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heaters and hot cars, with the screen protected from loose equipment. Follow the manufacturer’s battery-storage and servicing instructions.

Inspect the hose and fittings for wear, protect the gauge from impact and support the console during transport. Have hose installation, damaged fittings and leaks assessed by a qualified dive-equipment technician.
