Updating the Transceiver Software Using Your Watch

Before you can update the software, you must pair your Descent™ T2 transceiver to a compatible Descent watch.

  1. Select an option to sync your watch:
    • Sync your watch with the Garmin Dive™ app.

    • Connect the watch to your computer using the USB cable, and sync with the Garmin Express™ application.

    The Garmin Dive app and Garmin Express application automatically look for software updates. When you sync with the Garmin Dive app, you will be prompted to apply the update at a later time. When you sync with the Garmin Express application, the update is applied immediately to your watch.

  2. Wake the transceiver from low power mode (Waking the Transceiver from Low Power Mode).
  3. On the paired Descent watch, hold MENU, select Dive Setup > Dive Network & Air Integration > Transmitters, and select your transceiver.
  4. Wait for the transceiver to connect to your watch.

    Connected appears on the watch screen.

  5. Select Software Update, press START, and select Install Now.
    NOTE: The Software Update option may take up to a minute to appear while the watch determines the transceiver's software version and battery status. If the battery status is low or critically low, you must replace the battery before you can install the update.
  6. Keep the watch near the transceiver until the software update is complete.
