diveshop doesn't have the cable in stock, besides it costs 80 euro.
How?
Column A: 0:00:00 thru to 0:02:00
Column B: blank for now
Column C: depth without the comma, so: 22 for -2.2m (ease of entry)
after entering all values (takes you about as much time as the dive itself):
Column B: content of cell B2: =C2/-10 (changing 22 into -2.2)
Optional step (if you want to display multiple graphs): highlight all of column B, Copy, Paste Special..., tick Values.
then select column A and B and hit the Graph icon and -hey presto- there's your graph!
for future dives, just keep on filling in a column like C and apply the formula, the rest stays the same...
Hi guys,
just noticed something disappointing on my F10: set the daily alarm yesterday evening to be woken in time this morning - well, the F10 did his job, but in quite a miserable way: 3 one-sec beeps, and that was it. Fortunately I was already awake, otherwise I wouldn't have heard anything.
Well, I think for a daily alarm this is a rather poor performance. I went through the manual again to see if the length of the acustic signal could be set differently, but no way. Did I miss something or is that really all the daily alarm can do?
Cheers,
Ivo

It never woke me up either. I don't think it's loud, find it hard to hear under water wearing a hood. With pro-plugs -in my case- it is impossible to hear.
As far as I know there is no way of changing volume or duration of the alarm.
Hi there,
I had a D3 before and it is excellent but the battery doesn't last for long. Lost my D3 and got myself a new F10.
The display of F10 is better than D3 but I got the same problem for my F10.
I just had F10 for 2 weeks and went diving for two times. I had disabled all alarms, backlights...and exit to watch mode right away when i completed my diving.
But it is wired that it always shows "WET" in watch mode and the free diving mode is always running when you press "M" for 2 seconds to return to freediving mode. I check if Free diving mode is still running again and again and found it runs at least 20 hours after my first diving.
I try to dry the watch to stop the "WET" and it does not work. free diving mode is still running...
After my second dive, low battery icon shows up and ....I really don't know to stop the free diving mode.
Not sure if the watch is "WET" so the sensor is still running or just I have the wrong way to "EXIT" the free diving mode.
Is it the cause for the low battery? Does anyone know how to fix the problem?
Thanks.
One month later: its quite a big change from Suunto d3 and the like, the adaptation is not easy. I am back to my Mosquito for recreational dives and day to day, but plan to use the F10 if i ever get near water deeper than 25m. I guess I need to wear it more to get to like it. Been a bit lazy in that sense.
once you get used to the menu buttons going back to a SUUNTO is very difficult there menu system seems flawed, guess its just what you are used to using, i've been using an F10 for nearly 2 years now so have gotten well and truely used to the system, tried my old d3 on the other day when we were training and couldnt remember how to use the damn thing.
i have noticed that occasionally the Battery symbol flashes up but no wording and it has continued to run for many months afterwards. only time you need to worry about the battery is when it starts flashing the words low battery or change battery cant quite remember whiuch one its been a while, i think since i've been using them i have only replaced the battery maybe 3 times and i dive quite alot, most spearing sessions involve 90-120 dives a day and most freediving sessions are up around 20 dives or so. pool twice a week for training for an our.
i dont turn off wet on mode or anything like that i leave the computor to its own devices and havent had an isue yet.
of course if your not sure if your is ok or not you can always take it back to the store you purchased it from for them to check it under warranty for you.

That statement itself is discouraging to me. After wading through initial setup for my D3 about 6 years ago, I've never used a menu or operated a button except to toggle back and forth between depth of last dive and sea temperature. I make my first dive and it goes into dive mode. After I finish a day of spearfishing, it goes back to time of day mode. I don't have to remember how to use it- it does it all by itself.
Will the F.10 require me to learn menus and operate buttons? It sounds like it may do wonderful things for you pure freedivers, but maybe I don't want those things. I don't want to be required to think.
@Bill: I think the F10 is very easy to operate and intuitive. You might need the short reference card for setting your alarms etc, but if I remember correctly you weren't into those (scaring off fish etc).
The LCD is very clear, doesn't mention more than you need to know in or under water . If you want the computer to record your dive despite the fact you're still above 1,5m (5 ft), it gets a bit more difficult. Same thing with setting time, preferences etc, pretty much like with any watch.
I hope you don't get discouraged by the earlier comments: I would *definitely* recommend this F.10 to any freediver.

Bill - you can just strap it on and jump in - it'll do what you want. Then if you want to use the other stuff you can sort it out as you go. But the basic stuff is right there. Different than the D3 - the temp is not right on the display - you push one button two times to see it. But depth, time, surface time are all right there with no buttons.
Sorry Bill they may have come across wrong, i mean the way you get into the set menus etc are different from a D3. but it is auto on with water activation so you dont touch anything for it to start longing does it all by itself. and same when it is out of water it will return to normal watch mode just you are used to. it is only different (and in my opinion now easier) to navigate the more advanced options such as depth alarms, repetitive dive time alarm, surface interval alarm etc.
if you simply want it to show you dive time, temp and depth than you dont hav e to do anything you just dive and look at the screen when you want the info.
sorry for the confusion i was more talking about the initial setup of the unit.

I got mine as soon as they were available (I was computer-less) and I am loving it so far. I had the same issue with the wrong size protector, but I'll be emailing someone at Aeris about that.
I never got to play around too much with the D3 but used that (and a D4) a handful of times before getting the f.10, and I find it FAR easier to read at depth than the others.
My only thing is that I rarely if ever hear the alarms with my hood on, and I will likely start using pro plugs so I doubt I'll hear much of anything. That been said, from what I hear this is not too uncommon with most computers.
I wonder if a vibrate function would be a good addition? I'd imagine that for that to work it would make it bulkier and eat a bit more battery, but it would sure be a neat function.
Actually...now that i think of it, that feature seems like it would be nearly impossible to put on a device that goes to 100m....

for anyone wondering about the alarms, I would say they are about the same volume as the D3.
They be heard fine in a 3mm hood, but 5mm you'll hear half of them, and 7mm hood you'll here one in ten. Again, the F10 is great for depth events because you won't be wearing a hood at all, or if you wear one it won't be thicker than 3mm

Interesting.
That first one was obviously a computer simulation (if that's the correct term) at the Avalon Casino on Catalina Island, California.
Correct.
