Pairing a Transceiver with a Descent Dive Computer

Before you use the transceiver for the first time, you must pair it with a compatible Descent™ dive computer using ANT® technology.

For more information about compatible dive computer models, go to the Descent T2 transceiver product page on garmin.com.

  1. Wake the transceiver from low power mode (Waking the Transceiver from Low Power Mode).
  2. On your Descent dive computer, from the Dive Setup menu, select Dive Network & Air Integration > Transmitters.
  3. Select an option:
    • To add your own transceiver, select Add Your Tank, select your transceiver from the list, enter your transceiver ID, and select an option for gas consumption calculations.

      NOTE: The transceiver ID is printed on the housing.
    • To add another diver's transceiver, select Add Other Divers, select at least one transceiver from the list, and select Add.

When the pairing process is complete, the transceiver begins sending data, and it is ready to use on a dive. The next time the transceiver and dive computer are turned on and within wireless range, they connect automatically when you start a dive.

If you are diving with a group, you can pair up to 8 transceivers with the dive computer.
