Ascent Rate Indicator The equivalent ascent speed
No segments Below 4 m/min [13 ft/min]
One segment 4 - 6 m/min [13 - 20 ft/min]
Two segments 6 - 8 m/min [20 - 26 ft/min]
Three segments 8 - 10 m/min [26 - 33 ft/min]
Four segments 10 - 12 m/min [33 - 39 ft/min]
Four segments, the Above 12 m/min [39 ft/min] or
SLOW segment, blinking continuously above 10 m/min
depth reading, the STOP [33 ft/min]
sign and an audible alarm
When the maximum allowed ascent rate is exceeded,
the SLOW warning appears, alternating with the dive
depth, indicating that the maximum ascent rate has
been exceeded continuously or that the current as-
cent rate is signifi cantly above the allowed rate. The
watch gives a single beep when the SLOW warning
is shown.
