Transceiver Settings
You can customize the settings for paired transceivers prior to a dive.
On the paired Descent™ dive computer, from the Dive Setup menu, select , and select a transceiver.
- Status
-
Enables a connection to the transceiver, and shows the current connection status. Connected transceivers show data during a dive and can send or receive messages.
- Placement
-
Sets the transceiver location as either your own tank or that of another diver.
- Public Tank Name
-
Associates a name with your transceiver, which will be visible to your dive network the next time you connect to your transceiver.
NOTE: If you customize this name, another option appears in the list to clear the name. - SubWave Status
-
Displays what SubWave™ features are currently available based on the devices present, along with the current software version, hardware version, or configuration settings. For help troubleshooting issues with the status of your SubWave features, go to garmin.com/SubWaveSupport.
- Nickname
-
Associates a nickname with another diver's transceiver, which will be visible on your dive data screens. This setting does not change the name that appears for other divers.
NOTE: If you customize this name, another option appears in the list to clear the name. - Identify
-
Plays a tone on the selected paired transceiver. This helps you to identify the transceiver without needing to look at the transceiver ID printed on the transceiver housing.
- Working Pressure
-
Sets how much pressure the tank has when full. This value is used to determine the upper end of the pressure gauge, and to calculate respiratory minute volume (RMV) for tanks using psi units.
- Reserve Pressure
-
Sets the threshold values for reserve pressure and critical pressure alerts. The critical pressure threshold value is the greater of half of the reserve pressure or 21 bar (300 PSI).
- Volume
-
Sets the air volume of the tank. You can use the Reset Volume option if you move the transceiver to a different size tank.
NOTE: This value is required to calculate volumetric surface air consumption (SAC) and respiratory minute volume (RMV) (Selecting the Gas Consumption Rate Metric). - SAC/RMV/ATR
-
Enables calculations for volumetric surface air consumption (SAC), respiratory minute volume (RMV), and air time remaining (ATR) estimates for your transceiver.
- Set Transmit Power
-
Adjusts the power setting if your transceiver is losing connection with the paired dive computer underwater.
- About
-
Displays the transceiver ID, software version, and battery status.
- Remove
-
Removes a paired transceiver.
- Software Update
-
If an update is available, updates the transceiver software using your dive computer (Updating the Transceiver Software Using Your Dive Computer).
