The programs within the ProPlus 4.0 simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is merely a way to apply a limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The ProPlus 4.0 dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experi- ments in decompression theory.
The ProPlus 4.0 is an easy to use dive computer utilizing a two button interface. Divers may choose between either Dive or Gauge Mode. Though the ProPlus 4.0 is easy to use, you will get the most out of your new ProPlus 4.0 if you take some time to familiarize yourself with its displays and operation.

PROPLUS 4.0 OPERATING MANUAL BUTTONS The ProPlus 4.0 utilizes 2 control buttons called the ADV (Advance) and SEL (Select) buttons. They allow you to select mode options and access specific information. They are also used to enter settings, activate the backlight, and acknowl- edge the audible alarm.

DTR (DIVE TIME REMAINING) The ProPlus 4.0 constantly monitors No Decompression status and O2 Accumulation, and will display whichever time is the least amount available as DTR on the No Decompression Dive Main screen. The time being displayed will be identified by the NO DECO (no decompression) min or O2 (Oxygen Time Remaining) min icons.
(915 m) higher than the actual altitude at activation. Refer to the charts in the back of this manual for dive times. DEEP STOP When the DS (Deep Stop) selection is set ON, it will trigger after descending deeper than 80 ft (24 m). The ProPlus 4.0 then calculates (continually updating) a Stop Depth equal to ½ the Max Depth.
• There is no penalty if you surface prior to completing the Safety Stop or choose to ignore it. LOW BATTERY WARNING: DO NOT dive with a low battery. Charge the battery before diving if your ProPlus 4.0 indicates the Battery Low Warning or Alarm.
PROPLUS 4.0 OPERATING MANUAL AUDIBLE ALARM While operating in Norm or Gauge mode, the audible alarm will emit 1 beep per second for 10 seconds when alarms strike. During that time, the audible alarm can be acknowledged and silenced by pressing the UP button.
To view ProPLus 4.0 logs, change settings, or switch modes you must navigate through the Surf Main Menu. Enter the menu by pressing the ADV but- ton. When you reach the end of the menu the ProPLus 4.0 will return to the Dive Surface Main screen. You may hold the ADV button to scroll quickly through the selections.

It displays the current oxygen saturation level, programmed PO2 Alarm setpoint, gas number, and the current gas mix.
Alternately, the Diverlog + Download function stores much larger files for each dive. For this reason, it is normal to see dives stored in the ProPlus 4.0's onboard Log that have already been overwritten in the Diverlog + Download Partition. If you do not remember to log or download your dives, they will be lost when the memory overwrites.

8: SAMPLE RATE The Sample Rate controls how frequently the ProPlus 4.0 stores a data snapshot for Download during a dive. Setting options are 2, 15, 30, or 60 second intervals. Shorter intervals will provide a more precise record of your dives.
Bluetooth® is initiating. When Bluetooth® is turned on it will operate in sniffing mode (searching for compatible devices) while on the surface and the ProPlus 4.0 screen is active. Communication with your ProPlus 4.0 must be initiated with your mobile device using Diverlog+ software.
ProPlus 4.0 requires factory service. The ProPlus 4.0 is configured with hidden feature that clears nitrogen and oxygen calculations. This is intended for facilities using the ProPlus 4.0 for rental or training activities, not for general use by individual divers. The feature is hidden to prevent accidental use.
INITIATING A DIVE With the ProPlus 4.0 in Norm Dive Mode, a dive will commence upon descending to 5 ft (1.5 m) for at least 5 seconds. Below is a diagram to help you navigate Dive Mode functions. Below is a diagram to help you navigate Norm Dive Mode functions.

COMPLICATIONS The preceding information has described standard dive operations. Your new ProPlus 4.0 is also designed to help you to the surface in less than ideal situations. The following is a description of these situations. Take some time to familiarize yourself with these operations before diving your ProPlus 4.0.
Dashes will also display for NO DECO (No Decompression) time signifying that you are too deep. * The maximum functional depth (Dive/Gauge = 330 ft / 100 m) is the depth at which the ProPlus 4.0 can properly perform calculations or provide accurate display information.
During Dive mode dives, operation will enter VGM when Decompression requires a Stop Depth greater than 70 ft (21 m). Operation would then continue in VGM during the remainder of that dive and for 24 hours after surfacing. VGM turns the ProPlus 4.0 into a digital instrument without any decompression or oxygen related calculations or displays.
PROPLUS 4.0 OPERATING MANUAL DURING DECOMPRESSION The PO alarm setting does not apply when in Decompression. If PO exceeds 1.60 while in Decompression, the PO value (= 1.60) will flash during the audible alarm in place of the Deco Stop/Time. After the audible alarm is silenced, they alternate with Deco Stop/Time until PO decreases below 1.60.

PROPLUS 4.0 OPERATING MANUAL ALARM DURING DECO If O saturation reaches the Alarm level, the audible alarm sounds and the UP message, Up Arrow, GTR (Gas Time Remaining), and the O2% (oxygen saturation) value will flash in place of Deco Stop/Time. Upon silencing, Current Depth is to be restored, the graphics UP and O2 are to alternate, and the Up Arrow is to flash until on the surface.
INITIATING A DIVE With the ProPlus 4.0 in Gauge Mode, a dive will commence upon descending to 5 ft (1.5 m) for longer than 5 seconds. Below is a diagram to help you navigate Gauge Dive Mode functions. The dive will end and revert to Surface Mode upon ascent to 0.9 m (3 ft) of depth for at least 1 second.
Lens Protector. Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater. • Soak and rinse the ProPlus 4.0 in fresh water at the end of each day of diving, and check to ensure that the areas around the Low Pressure (Depth) Sensor , water contacts, and buttons are free of debris or obstructions.

• Closely examine the inside of the Battery Compartment for any signs of corrosion indicating entrance of moisture into the unit. • If corrosion is found, return the ProPlus 4.0 to an Authorized Oceanic Dealer, and DO NOT attempt to use it until it has re-ceived factory service.
• If any portions of the display are missing or appear dim, or if a Low Battery Condition is indicated, return your ProPlus 4.0 to an Authorized Oce- anic Dealer for a complete evaluation before attempting to use it.
