MANTA OPERATING MANUAL
© 2002 Design, 2006 Doc. No. 12-7213-r04 (2/24/12)
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to AERIS and thank you for choosing the Manta !
It is extremely important that you read this Operating Manual in sequence and understand it completely before attempting to use the Manta as a
dive computer.
It is equally important that you read the AERIS Dive Computer Safety and Reference Manual (Doc. No. 12-7203) provided with your Manta. It
contains information that you must become familiar with prior to diving with your Manta.
Remember that technology is no substitute for common sense, and a dive computer only provides the person using it with data, not the knowledge to
use it.
INTERACTIVE CONTROL CONSOLE
The Interactive Control Console consists of four Control Buttons that allow you to select mode options and access specific information. They are also
used to link the Transmitter(s), enter Settings, activate the Backlight, and acknowledge the Audible Alarm.
Throughout this manual they will be referred to as the M, S, L, and A buttons.
• Upper/Left - Mode (M) button
• Upper/Right - Select (S) button
• Lower/Right - Light (L) button
• Lower/Left - Advance (A) button
OPERATING MODE STRUCTURE
Unless it is operating in Dive Computer mode, the Manta will be ON in the default WATCH MAIN TIME (home time) mode (Fig. 1), like a standard
WATCH, until the Mode is changed.
The M button is used to access 4 other Modes that include Alternate Time Mode, Countdown Timer, Chronograph (stop watch/lap timer), and Daily
Alarm. It is also used to revert to the Local Default Time display and access Computer Modes.
The screens of the Main Modes and Sub Modes will remain on display until a button is pressed to access another screen or Mode, activate a
sequence, or for 2 minutes if no button is pressed. The Chronograph remains on display as long as it is running unless another Mode is accessed.
When Wet Activation is set On, the Manta will enter selected Dive Mode upon descent to 5 FT (feet)/1.5 M (meters) for 5 seconds, regardless of
what operating Mode it is in.
WARNING: When Wet Activation is set OFF, the Manta must be in Dive Surface Mode (NORM< GAUG, or FREE prior
to the first dive of a new series. Commencing a dive while in Watch modes will not activate Dive Mode unless Wet
Activation is set ON.
OPERATION AS A DIVE COMPUTER
The Manta features 3 Dive Computer (DC) Operating Modes, NORM (Fig. 2A) which is used for Air and Nitrox dives, GAUG (Fig. 2B) used for
dives in which Nitrogen-Oxygen calculations are not performed, and FREE (Fig. 2C) used for activities that do not use SCUBA.
Entering Settings and Plan Mode are only available in NORM SURF Mode which also allows access to Fly, Desat, Log, and History Modes.
GAUG Mode only allows access to Fly, Log, and History Modes.
Once a dive is made in GAUG Operating Mode, the Manta is locked into that Mode for 24 hours after the dive.
ACI (AERIS COMPUTER INTERFACE)
Interface with a PC is accomplished by connecting the Manta to a PC USB Port using the ACI USB Interface Cable. The same Cable is used for
Upload and Download.
The software program is on the ACI CD, together with a USB Driver. The program's Help serves as the user manual and can be printed for per-
sonal use. The Settings Upload program is used to check the Manta's existing Settings and for entering Time, Alarm, and Dive Computer settings
into the Manta.
The Data Download program is used to retrieve Data that was sampled during dives and stored in the Manta's memory.
The Manta checks for an External Access request once every second while in the Watch Main Time. Checks are not made if the unit is wet. For a
connection to be made, the Interface Cable is clipped onto the Manta's Data Port and plugged into a PC USB Port. To establish the connection, the
ACI PC program must be running. When the connection is made, all segments of the LCD appear on the display until completion of the Upload or
Download operation.
• The Manta reverts to the Watch Main Time screen after completion of the Upload or Download operation, or after 2 minutes if no PC action
was taken.
SYMBOLS AND ALPHA NUMERIC GRAPHICS
The upper line of digits on the LCD screen is used to convey alpha Messages such as Day of the Week, Operating Modes, items being Set, Altitude
level, and Alarm identification. At times, the second line is also used to display alpha numeric graphics such as FO2 and On/Off. The PO2
values during Nitrox dives will appear in the lower line.
