PATENT NOTICE
U.S. Patents have been issued, or applied for, to protect the following design features:
Dive Computer with Free Dive Mode and Wireless Data Transmission (U.S. Patent no. 7,797,124), Dive Computer with Free Dive Mode (U.S. Patent no.
8,600,701), and Air Time Remaining (U.S. Patent no. 6,543,444). Other patents pending. User Setable Display (U.S. Patent no. 5,845,235) is owned
by Suunto Oy Finland.
DECOMPRESSION MODEL
The programs within the VTX simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is merely a way to apply a lim-
ited set of data to a large range of experiences. The VTX dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression theory.
Still, using the VTX, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other) No Decompression Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding decompression
sickness, i.e. “the bends.” Every diver’s physiology is different, and can even vary from day to day. No machine can predict how your body will
react to a particular dive profile.

that sensors and battery voltage are within tolerance.
*After the Battery is replaced on a new day prior to performing any dives, a message is displayed before the welcome.
• It will also check ambient barometric pressure, and calibrate present depth as 0. When at 3001 feet (916 meters), or
higher, it will adjust depth for the higher altitude.
• After the diagnostic check, the Home Menu screen will be displayed (Fig. 3) allowing you to select what you would like to
do (view information, perform setup, access operating modes).
• If no button is pressed within 2 minutes, the unit will enter PSM (Power Saver Mode) turning the screen off. Refer to page 8.
• If no dive is made within 2 hours, the unit will shut Off.

TIP: When an adjustment is made during a dive that is lower than the Auto Dim % set prior to the dive, the screen will remain
illuminated at the level you save until you adjust it to a % level above the Auto Dim % set.
AUDIBLE ALARM
While operating in NORM or GAUG Mode, the Audible will emit 1 beep per second for 10 seconds when alarms strike, unless it
is set Off. During that time, the Audible can be acknowledged and silenced by pressing S (< 2 sec).
The Audible will not be active when it is set OFF (a Set Alarms Menu selection).
FREE Dive Mode alarms, which emit 3 short beeps either 1 or 3 times, cannot be acknowledged or set OFF.
Alarms that strike during operations in Compass Mode are described on page 45.
Situations that will activate the NORM/GAUG 10 second Alarm include -
** Items apply only in NORM mode.
• Gas Time Remaining (GTR) at 5 minutes, then again at 0 minutes.
• Turn Pressure at the value set (Transmitter 1 only).
• End Pressure at the value set (active Transmitter).
• Descent deeper than the Depth Alarm value set.
• Dive Time Remaining at the value set**.
• Elapsed Dive Time at the value set.
• PO2 level at .20 < value set for the gas in use and again at the value set**.
• O2 accumulation at 240 OTU (80%), then again at 300 OTU (100%)**.
• TLBG at the value set**.
• Ascent Rate (alarm = all 5 segments) exceeds 60 FPM (18 MPM) when deeper than 60 FT (18 M), or 30 FPM (9 MPM) at
60 FT (18 M) and shallower.
• Loss of the active Transmitter Link signal for more than 15 seconds during a dive.
• Entry into Decompression (Deco)**.
• Conditional Violation (above a required Deco Stop Depth < 5 minutes)**.
• Delayed Violation (above a required Deco Stop Depth => 5 minutes)**.
• Delayed Violation (a Deco Stop Depth > 60 FT/18 M is required)**.
• Delayed Violation (Depth > 330 FT/100 M).
• A Gas Switch would expose the diver to PO2 => 1.60 ATA for that gas**.
A single short beep (which cannot be disabled) sounds when -
• 5 minutes elapse on the surface after the Violation dive.
3 short beeps (which cannot be disabled) sound when -
• Ascent Rate (warning = 4 segments) is 51 to 60 FPM (15.1 to 18 MPM) when deeper than 60 FT (18 M), or 26 to 30 FPM
(7.5 to 9 MPM) at 60 FT (18 M) and shallower.
• FREE Dive Repeating Time Interval Alarm - 3 beeps once every 30 seconds, if set On.
• FREE Dive Depth Alarms 1, 2, 3 - 3 beeps 3 times at each value set.
• FREE Dive TLBG Alarm (Caution zone, 7 segments) - 3 beeps 3 times.
• FREE Dive Violation - 3 beeps 3 times upon entry into Decompression.
• FREE Countdown Timer - 3 beeps 3 times when time counts down to 0:00.
During the following situations, the audible will not turn off when acknowledged -
• Delayed Violations 1, 2, 3.
• Deco Stop Depth Violation => 70 FT/21 M stop required.
• FREE mode alarms.

VTX OPERATING MANUAL
OPERATING MODES
HOME >> This is a base mode that provides access to general items common to the operating dive modes.
NORM >> This is an operating dive mode used for Air and Nitrox scuba activity with up to 4 gases and transmitters.
If no previous dive has been taken within the past 24 hours, NORM is the default mode upon activation with others accessed as described later.
GAUG >> This is an operating dive mode used for scuba activity with up to 4 transmitters but without Ni-O2 calculations.
Once a GAUG dive has been conducted, operation locks into this mode for 24 hours.
FREE >> This is an operating dive mode used for breath hold diving activity with depth/time indication.
Ni-O2 calculations are performed while in FREE mode and are carried over between NORM and FREE.
COMPASS >> This is the navigation mode that can be used at any time while on the surface and during dives.
At any time while operating in Surface Modes*, operation will enter the Dive Mode selected upon descent to 5 FT (1.5 M) for 5 seconds.
*When a Low Battery Alarm condition is present, BATT icon is red, entry into Dive Modes is blocked.
Operation shifts from Dive Mode to Surface Mode upon ascent to 2 FT (0.6 M) for 1 second; however, most surface mode screens will not be available
until a transition time elapses.
The reason for this is that making a descent during the first 10 minutes after surfacing from a NORM or GAUG dive, or during the first 1 minute after
surfacing from a FREE dive, is a continuation of that same dive.
A descent made after the 10 minute (or 1 minute) interval has elapsed is then considered a new dive.
During the first 10 minutes after surfacing from a NORM or GAUG dive, or the first 1 minute after surfacing from a FREE dive, the Dive Main screen will
be displayed with Surface Interval time replacing Current Depth. Dive ALTs can be accessed to view other information pertaining to that dive.

set for Gas 1, and residual nitrogen (or O2) remaining from previous NORM (or FREE) dives. FO2 set for other Gases are not
used for Plan calculations.
PDPS (Pre Dive Planning Sequence)
Plan screens will sequence through Depths from 30 to 190 FT (9 to 57 M), or the Max Depth that will allow theoretical No Deco
Dive Time of at least 1 minute based upon the previous dive profiles in a series of repetitive dives and taking into account descent

PROXIMITY Of THE TMTS (Transmitters) AND VTX
The TMTs emit low frequency signals that radiate out in semicircular patterns parallel to the length dimension of the TMT. A coiled
antenna inside the VTX receives the signals when it is positioned within a zone parallel to or at a 45 degree angle to the TMT as
illustrated.
The VTX cannot effectively receive a signal when it is held out to the sides of the TMT or held at distances much greater than 3
feet (1.0 meters) in front of the TMT.
Best reception is achieved when the VTX is within less than 3 feet (1.0 meter) of the TMT and when
Brightness is set for the lowest % possible.
When installed into the high pressure ports of the Regulator First Stages, the TMTs must be positioned so that they face horizon-
tally outward from the Tank Valves.
Link Interruption Underwater
During a dive, you may at times move the VTX out of the signal pattern of the TMT, resulting in a temporary loss of the Link signal.
The Link will be restored within 4 seconds after the VTX is moved back into its correct position.

OVERVIEW Of AUTO DIM
The VTX is configured with a feature that automatically dims the screen to a lower level of brightness to conserve battery power
when the screen is not being viewed during NORM or GAUG dives. It is not active during FREE dives.
To set the Time Until Dim (Off or min:sec) and Dim To Brightness (%) - refer to page 13, the Home Setup Menu.
When set Off, Auto Dim will have no affect on Brightness level that will be controlled by your adjustment of % desired.
When Auto Dim is set for a specific time and %, the Dive Mode screens will automatically dim to the % Brightness set after no
button action for the min:sec Time that you set.
Pressing the S button momentarily (< 2 sec), while the screen is dim, will restore Brightness to the % level that you previously
adjusted it to using the Adjust Brightness feature. Adjust as you wish as conditions require.
If an alarm strikes while the screen is dim, Brightness will restored to the % level that you previously adjusted it to.
If you adjust to a Brightness % that is lower than the Dim To value set, the screen will remain illuminated at your adjustment %
(and Auto Dim will be disabled) until you adjust Brightness % to higher level which will enable Auto Dim once you are above the
% level that was set for it.

WET ACTIVATION
The VTX is configured with contacts that will automatically activate Dive Mode when the space between the contacts is bridged
by a conductive material (immersed in water) and it senses a Depth of 5 FT (1.5 M).
The contacts are the metal pins of the PC/Mac Interface Data Port and the stems of the buttons.
BAR GRAPHS
The VTX features 2 bar graphs, one on each side of the LCD (Fig. 35).
> The one on the left represents nitrogen loading. It is referred to as the TLBG (Tissue Loading Bar Graph).
> The one on the right represents ascent rate. It is referred to as the VARI (Variable Ascent Rate Indicator).

ALGORITHM
The VTX is configured with 2 algorithms which allows you to choose which set of NDLs (No Deco Limits) will be used for Ni/O2
calculations and displays relating to Plan and DTR (Dive Time Remaining). The selection will lock until 24 hours elapse on the
surface after the last dive, or all residual nitrogen has been offgassed (tissue desaturation time decreases to 0:00).
You can select DSAT or Z+. Refer to the NORM Set Utilities Menu (Fig. 36) to make sure the one desired is currently selected.
NORM SET UTILITIES
DSAT has been the standard used by Oceanic in almost all of its dive computers until this time. It features NDLs that are based
on exposures and test data which also formed validation for the PADI RDP. It imposes restrictions for repetitive Deco dives,
considered more risky.
WATER = FRESH
UNITS = IMPERIAL
DEEP STOP =
OFF
SAFE STOP = ON
ALGORITHM = DSAT
Z+ (Pelagic Z+) performance is based on Buhlmann ZHL-16c. It features NDLs that are considerably more conservative, espe-
cially at shallower depths.
CONSERV =

Fig. 36 - NORM SURF MAIN
To create even greater margins of safety with respect to decompression, a Conservative Factor as well as No Deco Deep and
Safety Stops can be included for No Deco dives.
CONSERVATIVE fACTOR (Cf)
When the CF is set ON, the NDLs which are based on the algorithm selected and used for Ni/O2 calculations and displays relat-
ing to Plan and DTR will be reduced to the values available at the altitude level that is 3,000 feet (915 meters) higher. Refer to
the NDL charts in the back of this manual.
DEEP STOP (DS)
When the Deep Stop feature is set ON, it will trigger during NORM No Deco dives when you descend to 80 FT (24 M) and cal-
culate (and continually update) a Stop Depth equal to 1/2 the Max Depth. An icon will be displayed on the NORM Dive Main

If set ON:
Upon ascent to within 5 FT (1.5 M) deeper than the SS Depth set for 1 second on a No Deco dive in which Depth exceeded 30
FT (9 M) for 1 second, a beep will sound and a SS at the Depth set will appear on the Main display with a countdown beginning
at the SS Time set and counting down to 0:00 (min:sec).
• If the SS was set for OFF or TIMER, this display will not appear.
• In the event that you descend 10 FT (3 M) deeper than the Stop Depth for 10 seconds during the countdown, or the
countdown reaches 0:00, the No Deco Main screen will replace the SS Main screen which will reappear upon ascent to
within 5 FT (1.5 M) deeper than the Safety Stop Depth set for 1 second.
• In the event that you enter Deco during the dive, complete the Deco obligation, then descend below 30 FT (9 M); the SS
Main will appear again upon ascent to within 5 FT (1.5 M) deeper than the SS Depth set for 1 second.
• If you surface prior to completing the SS, it will be disabed for the remainder of that dive.
• There is no Penalty if you surface prior to completing the SS or ignore it.

The VTX constantly monitors nitrogen loading and oxygen accumulation, and will display whichever time is the least amount

No Deco DTR (NDC)
GAS 1
GTR
TL
NDC is the maximum amount of time that you can stay at your present Depth before entering Deco. It is calculated based on the
amount of Nitrogen absorbed by hypothetical tissue compartments. The rates each of these compartments absorb and release
Nitrogen is mathematically modeled and compared against a maximum allowable Nitrogen level.
1750
PSI

Fig. 38 -NO DECO MAIN
(NDC is DTR)
Whichever one is closest to this maximum level is the controlling compartment for that Depth. Its resulting value will be displayed
as NDC time and graphically as the TLBG.
As you ascend, the TLBG segments will recede as control shifts to slower compartments. This is a feature of the decompression
model that is the basis for multilevel diving, one of the most important advantages that Oceanic dive computers offer.
O2 Time Remaining (OTR)
During Nitrox operation, O2 accumulation during a dive, or 24 hour period, is displayed as a percent of O2 saturation allowed
per dive or per day. Max allowed (100%) is 300 OTU.
When time remaining before reaching the O2 limit becomes less than NDC, calculations for that Depth will be controlled by O2
and OTR will be displayed as DTR on the Dive Main.
GAS TIME REMAINING (GTR)
GTR is calculated using a patented algorithm that is based on a diver's individual Air (Gas) Consumption Rate and Current
Depth. Tank Pressure is measured once each second and an average rate of Consumption is calculated over a 90 second pe-
riod. This Rate of Consumption is then used in conjunction with the Depth to predict the Air (Gas) required for the diver to make
a safe controlled Ascent including the No Deco Deep and Safety Stops and any required Deco Stops.
Air (Gas) Consumption and Depth are continuously monitored and GTR reflects any change in circumstances. For example,
when you suddenly find yourself swimming against a strong current and begin breathing more rapidly, the VTX will recognize the
change and adjust GTR accordingly.
GTR is the time you can remain at the present Depth and still safely surface with the Tank Pressure reserve that you selected dur-
ing setup (End Pressure Alarm Setting).
GTR is displayed on the Dive Main screens (Fig. 38b).

When GTR decreases to 5 minutes, the Audible will sound and the GTR time digits and graphic will flash yellow (Fig. 39). If it
decreases to 0, the Audible will sound again. The time digits and graphic will continue to flash red until GTR becomes greater
than 1 minute, then it will flash yellow until greater than 5 minutes.

fREE SURfACE MODE
FREE dives, which are allowed prior to NORM or GAUG dives as well as after NORM dives, calculate Ni-O2 based upon the
Algorithm selected and a fixed default FO2 of Air. FO2 settings for NORM dives do not affect calculations for FREE Dives.
FREE mode displays NDC Time (on a dive ALT screen) and the TLBG (TL) on surface and dive Main screens, and includes a TLBG
Alarm that activates when it enters the yellow Caution zone (9 segments).
In the event of entry into Deco during operation in FREE mode, operation reverts to VGM for 24 hours.
FREE dive alarms are set, controlled, and operate separately from NORM and GAUG Alarms.
The SURF Main screen remains on display for 10 minutes during which time the unit will enter Dive Mode upon descent to 5 FT
(1.5 M) for 5 seconds.
The unit enters post dive Surface Mode upon ascent to 2 FT (0.6 M) for 1 second and displays the Surface Main with the SURF

FREE mode alarms, which are separate from NORM (or GAUG) alarms, sound 1 or 3 times as (3) short beeps then clear. They
cannot be acknowledged or silenced.
fREE CDT Alarm
When a set Countdown Time reaches 0:00, the Audible Alarm will sound during which time the graphic CDT with 0:00 (yellow)
will flash on the Dive Main screen* (Fig. 83A), then remain as 0:00 solid. *If EDT was selected and displayed on the Main, it
will be replaced by CDT during the audible then EDT will be restored when the audible is silenced.
fREE RTI (EDT) Alarm
When set ON, the RTI (Repeating Time Interval) alarm activates every 30 seconds of EDT (Elapsed Dive Dive) during a dive. The
Audible will sound during which time the graphic EDT with Time digits (yellow) will flash on the Dive Main screen* (Fig. 83B),
then the screen will return to normal. *If CDT was selected and displayed on the Main, it will be replaced by EDT during the
audible then CDT will be restored when the audible is silenced.
fREE Depth Alarms
When set ON, the Depth alarms (1, 2, 3) activate at their set Depths. The Audible will sound during which time the graphic D1
(D2, D3) and Depth digits (yellow) will flash on the Dive Main screen (Fig. 83C), then return to normal.
High Nitrogen Alarms
When nitrogen increases to the caution level (9 segments), the Audible will sound during which time the TLBG segments (green &
yellow) will flash on the Dive Main screen (Fig. 83D), then become solid.
In the event that nitrogen continues to increase and reaches the Deco level; the Audible will sound again during which all TLBG
segments and the graphics GO UP VIOLATION with Up Arrows will flash on the Dive Main screen until on the surface (Fig. 83E).
The TLBG will be removed after the audible is silenced.
Upon surfacing, the graphic VIOL (red) will flash for 1 minute, then alternate with FREE for 24 hours with VGM (Violation Gauge

VTX OPERATING MANUAL
ADDITIONAL INfORMATION PERTAINING TO fREE DIVE MODE
Although breathing apparatus is not utilized for fREE Dive activities, nitrogen tissue loading remains a factor. Nitrogen loading is
calculated based upon a fixed fO2 of AIR.
Since a user has the option of alternating between NORM (SCUBA) and fREE Dive activities within a 24 hour period, nitrogen calculations
and the displayed value of No Deco Dive Time Remaining (NDC Time) are carried over from one operating mode to the other, which
permits the user to maintain awareness of nitrogen absorption and offgasing status.
The mathematical models currently used in the VTX are based on no decompression/decompression multilevel repetitive dive schedules.
These algorithms do not take into account the physiological changes associated with the high pressures that competitive type free diving
can expose a diver to.
WARNINGS
Ensure that you know which Operating Mode is selected (NORM, GAUG, or fREE) prior to commencing any dive.
Conducting free dives within a 24 hour period after conducting SCUBA dives, combined with the effects of multiple
rapid free Dive ascents, increases your risk of decompression sickness. Such activities may result in accelerated entry
into decompression which could cause serious injury or death.
Combining competitive type free dive activities that involve multiple descents/ascents with activities utilizing SCUBA
during the same 24 hour period is not recommended. Presently, there is no data relating to such activities.
It is highly recommended that anyone planning to become involved in competitive type free dive activities obtain
proper instruction and training from a recognized free Diving trainer. It is imperative that the physiological affects be
understood and the diver is physically prepared.

VTX OPERATING MANUAL
ALTITUDE SENSING AND ADJUSTMENT
Prior to the first dive of a series of repetitive dives, Altitude (i.e., ambient pressure) is measured upon activation then every 15
minutes until a dive is made.
> Measurements are only taken when the unit is dry.
> Two readings are taken, the second reading 5 seconds after the first. The readings must be within 1 foot (30 cm) of each
other to record that ambient pressure as the current Altitude.
> No adjustments are made during any time that the Wet Contacts are bridged.
When diving in high altitude waters from 3,001 to 14,000 feet (916 to 4,270 meters), the VTX automatically adjusts to these
conditions providing corrected Depth, and reduced No Deco and O2 Times at intervals of 1,000 feet (305 meters).
At an elevation of 3,001 feet (916 meters), Depth calibration automatically changes from feet of seawater to feet of fresh water.
This is the first adjustment to the algorithm.
When the Conservative Factor feature is set On, NDLs are calculated based upon the next higher 3,000 foot (915 meter) Alti-
tude. All adjustments for Altitudes greater than 11,000 feet (3,355 meters) are then made to allowable dive times for 14,000
feet (4,270 meters). At Sea Level, calculations are based upon an Altitude of 6,000 feet.
The VTX will not function above 14,000 feet (4,270 meters).
---------------------------------------------------------
CARE AND CLEANING
Protect your unit from shock, excessive temperatures, exposure to chemicals, and tampering. Protect the lens against scratches
with a Instrument Lens Protector. Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater.
• Soak and rinse the VTX in fresh water at the end of each day of diving, and check to ensure that the areas around the low
pressure (depth) sensor (Fig. 95a), data port (Fig. 95b), and buttons are free of debris or obstructions. Soak and rinse the
regulator with the transmitter attached.
a
b
• To dissolve salt crystals, use lukewarm water or a slightly acidic bath (50% white vinegar/50% fresh water). After removal
from the bath, place the VTX and the regulator assembly with transmitter under gently running water and towel dry before
storing.
• Transport your VTX system cool, dry, and protected.
Fig. 95 - CASE BACK

VTX OPERATING MANUAL
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The procedures that follow must be closely adhered to to avoid entrance of water into the unit. Dam-
age due to improper Battery replacement (or subsequent leakage of moisture into the unit) is not
covered by the VTX's 2 year warranty.
DATA SAVED
CALIBRATE
COMPASS
The Battery Compartment should only be opened in a dry and clean environment with extreme care taken to prevent the entrance
of moisture or dust.
As an additional precautionary measure to prevent formation of moisture in the Battery Compartment, it is recommended that the
Battery be changed in an environment equivalent to the local outdoor temperature and humidity (e.g., do not change the Battery
in an air conditioned environment then take it outside during a hot sunny day).

TRANSMITTER COMPATIBILITY WITH NITROX
When packaged and shipped from the factory, Oceanic Transmitters are rated for use with compressed Air and/or nitrogen-
oxygen (Nitrox) breathing gas mixtures containing up to 99% O2 by volume and with 100% O2.
Fig. 105 - TRANSMITTER ON
FIRST STAGE
WARNINGS
Decompression diving, or diving deeper than 130 fT (39 M), will greatly increase your risk of decompression sickness.
Decompression diving is inherently hazardous and greatly increases your risk of decompression sickness, even when performed
according to the dive computer's calculations.
Using an VTX is no guarantee of avoiding decompression sickness.
The VTX enters Violation Mode when a situation exceeds its capacity to predict an ascent procedure. These dives represent
gross excursions into decompression that are beyond the boundaries and spirit of the VTX's design. If you are following these
dive profiles, Oceanic advises that you should not use an VTX.
If you exceed certain limits, the VTX will not be able to help you get safely back to the surface. These situations exceed tested
limits and can result in loss of some functions for 24 hours after the dive in which a violation occurred.

WARNING: If your VTX stops working for any reason while operating as a Dive Computer, it is important that you
have anticipated this possibility and are prepared for it. This is an important reason for not pushing the no decom-
pression and oxygen exposure limits, and a critical reason to avoid entering decompression.
If you dive in situations where your trip would be ruined or your safety would be jeopardized by losing the use of
your VTX, a backup instrument system is highly recommended.

VTX OPERATING MANUAL
ADDITIONAL INfORMATION PERTAINING TO BRIGHTNESS & POWER CONSUMPTION
As indicated in various sections of this manual, there are numerous factors that affect battery consumption. Some can reduce battery use life quite rapidly
such as keeping the Brightness level set at 100% and not taking advantage of the Auto Dim feature to conserve power when the screen is not being viewed
during dives.
Note that Auto Dim settings are entered only when on the surface and cannot be changed once a dive is started.
Remember also that a press/release of the S (side) button will restore the Dive Main screen from the Auto Dim level to the Brightness level you adjusted it to.
The chart below provides approximate Hours of Operation that can be expected for a new battery before it displays a Low Battery Warning condition
(BATT icon is green until it turns yellow).
> As indicated by the chart, the hours will vary depending on different combinations of Brightness levels that you might use together with Auto Dim set-
tings that you may chose to consider using for activities to be conducted.
> Testing indicates that once the Low Battery icon comes on yellow, indicating a low battery warning condition, operations may continue for 3 hours
with the Brightness held at 60% maximum.
It may not be possible to keep track of the time that has transpired once the icon color changes and a low battery alarm
condition could appear unexpectedly.
