Quantum Owner's Manual

FOR YOUR SAFETY

All warnings and cautions are identified with the triangle symbol. Whenever you see

a warning or a caution, read it carefully, as it may protect you from serious injury or

damage to the product. Read the manual in its entirety before attempting to use the

Quantum computer.

WARNING: Decompression sickness (aka, “the bends”) is an inherent

risk of SCUBA diving. Even if you properly follow all the instructions in

this manual, and dive within the recreational limits of SCUBA diving,

you still run the risk of getting decompression sickness, or some other

inherent risk of SCUBA diving. Unless you are fully aware of these risks

and are willing to personally accept and assume responsibility for those

risks, do not use the Quantum dive computer

The Quantum, or any other dive computer, does not actually monitor changes that

occur in your body as you dive. Rather, it is performing calculations using algo-

rithms developed by leading decompression experts and backed by years of research

and thousands of dives. However, these algorithms cannot account for factors like

dehydration, fatigue, obesity, or poor physical conditioning. Therefore, always leave

a comfortable safety margin in respect to no-decompression time and ascent speed.

The computer is designed to ASSIST you in making a dive, not to CONTROL your

dive.

Quantum Owner's Manual

WARNING: Using the Quantum will not prevent decompression sickness,

but using it sensibly reduces this risk. You must accept that there is no

device or procedure that will totally prevent the possibility of a decom-

pression accident.

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Quantum dive computer. As with all

diving equipment, it is important to understand the features and functions of the

Quantum. Before using the computer, read this manual in its entirety. Contained

within this manual are illustrations to aid you in understanding the computer.

Section 1 instructs you on how to navigate through the Quantum’s surface modes.

Section 2 describes all the underwater displays and functions while diving with the

Quantum. Lastly, Section 3 covers care & maintenance.

This manual will clearly and concisely instruct you on the use of the Quantum.

However, if you have any questions on the material contained in this manual, please

contact your nearest authorized dealer.

Quantum Owner's Manual

SECTION 1

Using the Quantum on the Surface

The Push Buttons

The Quantum has three buttons that allow

you to access modes, change settings and

switch displays. Throughout this manual,

the buttons will be referred to as MODE, A,

and B (see figure 1). The detailed function

of each button is explained throughout this

manual.

The Mode Button

All the surface functions are accessed by

pressing the MODE button. The Quantum

has seven surface modes: TIME (time of day

display), DIVE (dive settings), PLAN (plan

mode), LOG (logbook memory), PROF

(dive profile memory), PC (PC download)

and SET (time and date settings).

MODE

Pressing the MODE button scrolls through the seven modes. As you scroll through

the modes, the name of each mode is displayed at the bottom of the screen (see

figure 2)

In this section, each mode will be explained in the order it appears as shown in

figure 2.

Quantum Owner's Manual

Time Display Mode (pre-dive)

The Quantum’s default mode is the Time

Display Mode (figure 3). The computer

always returns to the time display after

making a dive or exiting from one of the

other modes, such as Plan Mode or Log

Mode. If there is no button activity for

several minutes while in another mode, the

computer will automatically exit back to the

time display.

a. Time of day: Displayed in 12-hour

or 24-hour format. The 24-hour

format does not use AM and PM. For

example, 15:45 is the same as 3:45 PM.

Selecting the 12- or 24-hour format is

explained on page 29.

b. Seconds: Seconds are displayed to the

right of hours:minutes

c. Date: Displayed in month-day format.
