Turn Your Lifeline On
Opening and closing the cap on your unit does not turn it on or off. To turn on your unit, open the cap and press the green button once. There will be a 1
second time lag before the unit powers up.
Once your unit is turned on, the home screen will appear and the GPS will automatically acquire your latitude and longitude position as long as you have
a clear view of the sky.
Home Screen: The screen flashes coordinates from west to north. Coordinates are locked when the screen shows your position and a plus sign |+| in the
top right corner.

GPS Coordinates North
Signal Lock
NOTE: When the unit is turned on for the first time, triangulation may take up to 3 minutes. The next time, the GPS will take less time to lock. We
recommend turning on your radio upon arrival at a new dive destination so it acquires an accurate position.
