EMERGENCY START-UP SYSTEM (ESS)
Should you have no option other than to enter the water immediately,
EXPLORER will activate the display and show all pertinent alarms in the
STATUS screen. It is vital that you correct anything in error immediately
before continuing to dive.
If you enter the water without completing the relevant Pre-dive checks
and ESS mode is activated, you will be given an O/C bailout alarm (red
HUD) warning you to return to the surface immediately to complete the
Pre-dive checks. After 1 minute underwater (if nothing else is alarming)
the bailout alarm will stop.
!
DANGER: The ESS should never be used as a routine diving start-
up system. A full Pre-dive check MUST always be conducted to
ensure safe operation. The ESS is designed ONLY as a safe guard.
If you have not completed pre-dive checks, abort the dive and per-
form a proper pre-dive on the surface.
TURNING OFF
The EXPLORER cannot inadvertently turn off while submerged. Although
while at the surface, if no button pushes are detected within 15 minutes it
will automatically turn off to save power (Fig. 4.7).
To manually turn off EXPLORER then select the Menu option and do a
long press of the left button - OFF (Fig. 4.8).
LESS THAN 2 HOUR PRE-DIVE SEQUENCE
If you have completed a sucessful Pre-dive Sequence within the last 2
hours, then upon reactivating the unit (assuming there is nothing wrong
with the system) it will display the Hollis splash screen followed by two
screens (Fig. 4.9, 4.10). It will then allow you to choose DIVE or PREDIVE
(repeat the Pre-dive Sequence from the beginning).
