Installing Bungee Cords

WARNING

You can fuse the ends of the bungee cord by melting it or by using heat shrink in a well-ventilated area. Do not use open flame to fuse the ends of the cord, and do not fuse the ends of the cord near clothing or bare skin, as doing so could result in property damage or serious personal injury.

CAUTION

The user should never cut the bungee cord while it is on the user's arm, as this could result in property damage or personal injury.

NOTICE

It is the user's responsibility to ensure the bungee cord straps are cut to the appropriate length and that an appropriate knot is tied to ensure the dive computer remains attached to the arm. Garmin® is not responsible for any loss or damage to a dive computer resulting from the dive computer coming off the arm.

The dive computer is compatible with 3 mm (1/8 in.) bungee cords (not included).

  1. Remove the existing bands from the dive computer (Changing the Bands).
  2. Cut a piece of bungee cord that is long enough to wrap around your wrist, plus approximately 5 cm (2 in.) to allow for tying the knots.
  3. Thread the cord through the outside of one of the large holes in the dive computer's lug.

  4. Tie an overhand knot, and tighten the knot by applying tension to both ends.

    The finished knot should prevent the cord from slipping through the hole.

    TIP: If preferred, you can tie a figure eight knot instead.
  5. Route the remaining end of the band through the large hole at the opposite end of the lug.
  6. Hold the cord to your wrist, examine the fit, and determine where to tie the second knot.
  7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for the second bungee cord.
  8. Cut off the excess cord, and leave at least 6 mm (0.25 in.) at the end of each knot.
