This computer is capable of calculating deco stop requirements. These
calculations are at best a guess of the real physiological decompression
requirements. Dives requiring staged decompression are substantially more
risky than dives that stay well within no-stop limits.
Diving with rebreathers and/or diving mixed gases and/or performing
staged decompression dives and/or diving in overhead environments greatly
increases the risk of scuba diving.
YOU REALLY ARE RISKING YOUR LIFE WITH THIS ACTIVITY.
DANGER
This computer has bugs. Although we haven’t found them all yet, they are
there. It is certain that there are things that this computer does that either
we didn’t think about, or planned for it to do something different. Never risk
your life on only one source of information. Use a second computer or tables.
If you choose to make riskier dives, obtain the proper training and work up
to them slowly to gain experience.
This computer will fail. It is not whether it will fail but when it will fail. Do
not depend on it. Always have a plan on how to handle failures. Automatic
systems are no substitute for knowledge and training.
No technology will keep you alive. Knowledge, skill, and practiced procedures
are your best defense (Except for not doing the dive, of course).

The Shearwater Perdix is an advanced technical diving computer for open and
closed circuit divers.
Although we strive to make the Perdix easy enough to use without reading the
manual, please take some time to read this manual to get the best performance
from your new computer. Diving involves risk and education is your best tool
for managing this risk.

INSTALLING STRAPS
OR BUNGEE CORD
The Perdix includes mounting points for either two elastic straps or two
bungee cords. Both types are included in the box.
Install the elastic straps as shown in the image below. The buckles feature
a locking mechanism to prevent them from inadvertently loosening. Press
the tab to allow the buckle to slide freely on the straps.
Strap width is 3/4” (19 mm).
Install the straps and buckles as shown

BUNGEE CORD
Bungee cord can be installed in many ways based on your preference. Two
examples are shown. The holes are sized for 3/16” (4.8 mm) diameter cord.
A simple overhand knot (at left)
works well to secure the bungee
cord.
However, this knot can pull
through the mounting holes
under very high load.
We find that the knot shown on
the right works well.
This knot has the nice feature
of creating loops that stay wide
open while putting the Perdix on
your wrist.

Allergy Alert! The supplied elastic surgical tubing
contains LATEX.
Tip: Use two pieces of cord
When using the bungee cord, always create two independent loops so that a
single break does not result in a lost dive computer. If using a single continuous
piece of cord, isolate the sides with a knot.

Auto-On
The Perdix will automatically turn-on when submerged underwater. This is based on pressure
increase and not on the presence of water.
Auto-On Details
The Perdix turns on automatically when the absolute pressure is greater than 1100 millibar
(mbar). For reference, normal sea level pressure is 1013 mbar and 1 mbar of pressure
corresponds to approximately 1 cm (0.4") of water.
So the Perdix will automatically turn-on when about 0.9 m (3 ft) underwater when at sea level.
If at higher altitude, then the Perdix auto-on will occur at a deeper depth. For example, when
at 2000 m (6500 ft) altitude the atmospheric pressure is only about 800 mbar. Therefore,
at this altitude the Perdix must be submerged underwater by 300 mbar to reach an absolute
pressure of 1100 mbar. This means the auto-on occurs at about 3 m (10 ft) underwater when
at an altitude of 2000 m.
TURNING ON
To turn the Perdix on, press both the MENU (left) and the SELECT (right) buttons at the same time.
This feature is supplied as a backup for when you forget to turn on your Perdix.
Shearwater recommends turning on manually before each dive to confirm proper
operation and to double check battery status and setup.
DO NOT RELY ON THE AUTO-ON FEATURE
