 F11 OPERATING MANUAL

INITIAL ACTIVATION

AERIS Watch type dive gauges are placed in a Deep Sleep mode prior to being shipped from the factory. The intent is to extend
storage life of the Battery for up to 7 years, before the unit is initially placed in service.

In this mode, Date and Time are updated as they normally would be. However, they are not displayed. Upon waking the F11 up, the
correct Date and USA Pacific Time will be displayed and it will be ready to operate with full functions.

To wake the F11 up from Deep Sleep mode, simultaneously depress the upper/right (S) and lower/left (A) buttons for 2 seconds until
the display comes full ON displaying the MAIN TIME screen, then release them.

Once the F11 is brought out of the Deep Sleep mode, it can only be placed back in it by the factory.

OPERATING MODE STRUCTURE
Unless it is operating in Free Dive mode, the F11 will display Watch Main Time (Fig. 1), like a standard Watch, until the mode is
changed.

The A button is used to access other Watch functions that include an Alternate display, Countdown Timer, Chronograph (stop
watch/run timer), Daily Alarm, and Time settings. The M button is used to access and return from the Free Surface Main screen.

The screens of the Main 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 unless turned Off or another mode is
accessed.

When operating in Free Mode, the F11 will enter Dive Mode upon descent to the DSD (Dive Start Depth) previously set which can Fig. 1 - MAIN TIME
be 2, 4, or 6 FT (feet) or 0.6, 1.2, or 1.8 M (meters) for 1 second. See page 19 for Set DSD.

OPERATION AS A DIVING GAUGE Watch Functions

Entering Settings relating to diving activities is only available in Free Surface Mode which also allows access to a Countdown Timer
Main Time
(separate from the Watch CDT), Log, and History Modes.
Alternate info

COMPUTER INTERFACE Countdown Timer

Interface with a PC or Mac, to allow uploading settings and downloading data, is accomplished by connecting the F11 to a PC or
Mac USB port using the special AERIS USB interface cable. Daily Alarm

Set Time
The software program together with the USB driver required is on the AERIS Product CD, or it can be downloaded from the AERIS
web site. The program's Help serves as the user manual which can be printed for personal use. Chronograph

The settings upload portion of the computer interface program can be used to set/change the Main Time, Date, Set Alarms group,
and Set Utilities group using the same interface system.

Information available for retrieval (download) from the F11 to the download portion of the program includes dive number, surface
interval time, start depth, end depth, maximum depth, elapsed dive time, start date, start time, lowest temperature under water,
sampling rate, dive profile, and set points.

The computer interface program also allows update of select versions of the F11's firmware (operating system software).

• Refer to page 29 for more details relating to the computer interface system.

GRAPHIC MESSAGES
The segmented digits of the LCD are used to present various messages such as alarms, day of the week, modes, items being set;
and graphics such as On, Off, Set, Last, Log, Hist.

audible alarm
A LED warning light, located at the 6 o'clock position on the side of the housing, is synchronized with the Audible alarm. It will
flash as the Audible sounds, then turn off when the Audible shuts off. The Audible and LED will not be active if the Alarm is set OFF,
an Alarm group setting which completely disables it.

When alarms strike, the Backlight will come On if Off and remain On until you turn it Off by pressing/releasing the L button or it
turns Off automatically after 10 seconds.

pressed/released again.

• The Backlight will be disabled when there is a Low Battery condition, and be re enabled once the battery is replaced.

• Extensive use of the Backlight reduces Battery use life.

• Turning the Backlight Off when it is not being used will help extend Battery use life.

• The Backlight does not operate when the unit is connected to a PC or Mac.

AUTO GLO
When Auto Glo (a Set Utilities selection) is set On, Backlight operation on the surface in Watch and FREE modes is controlled as
it normally would be by the Light button and Duration time set.
Upon entry into Dive mode, the Backlight activates (turns On) automatically and remains On throughout the full dive until entry
into Surface mode when the Backlight operation reverts to normal.

POWER SUPPLY
The F11 utilizes (1) 3 volt CR2450 Lithium Battery.

Battery voltage is checked every 2 minutes during operation while on the surface.

• If voltage decreases to the Warning level (2.75 volts), the Battery icon will appear on the Watch Main Time and Free Surface a
screens (Fig. 2a) as an indication that the Battery should be changed prior to commencing a series of dives. Fig. 2 - LOW BATTERY
WARNING

• If voltage decreases to the Alarm level (2.50 volts), the Battery icon will flash and operation will automatically revert to Watch
Main Time and only operate in Watch modes until the Battery becomes completely depleted.

• Low Battery Warning/Alarm conditions are not displayed during Dive Modes.

• If a Low Battery condition was not displayed prior to starting a Dive, and a Low Battery condition occurs during the dive, there
will be sufficient Battery power to maintain operation for the remainder of that dive. Upon surfacing, the graphics CHNG >>
BATT will alternate (Fig. 3), then operation will automatically revert to and remain in Watch Main Time until the Battery becomes
completely depleted.

SURFACE MODE
Surface Main is the default screen displayed while in FREE Mode. In addition to Surface Interval Time and Dive Number, a CDT
(Countdown Timer) is displayed (unless it is set Off) which you can start, stop, and reset.

Like Watch mode, you can access a sequence of selections including >>

ALTs (additional data), Countdown Timer, Set Alarms, Set Utilities, Serial Number, and Chronograph.

The CDT is separate from the one featured in Watch Mode.

The Chronograph is the same one as Watch Mode with it's operations carrying over between the two modes.

Chrono is on display. Setting the DSD (for 2, 4, or 6 FT; or 0.6, 1.2, or 1.8 M) is explained later in the Set Utilities section.

Upon ascent to 2 FT (0.6 M) for 1 second, the Dive Main will remain on display until the BDSI (Between Dive Surface Interval) time
set elapses then the Surface Main will be displayed. Setting the BDSI (up to 1 minute) is explained later in the Set Utilities section.

When set On, the SRT (Surface Recovery Time) alarm will sound and flash a message when the Surface Interval after surfacing
reaches the time set. Setting the SRT alarm (up to 30 minutes) is explained later in the Set Alarms section.

Icons and messages will still flash and the Backlight will still come On.

The SRT (Surface Recovery Time) Alarm provides an alert when a set 'recovery time' has elapsed after surfacing from a dive.

The RTI (Repeating Time Interval) Alarm repeats each time the Time Interval set is reached during operation in Dive Mode.

The RDI (Repeating Depth Interval) Alarm repeats each time the Depth Interval set is reached, except when the DA alarms strike. If a
series of descents, ascents, descents is made, the alarm will activate during each of the Descents.

The DA 1 to DA6 (Descending/Ascending) Depth Alarms are set and operate with no restrictions (such as sequence) while ascend-
ing as well as descending. Unless set Off, the audible sounds for the number of beeps set for that depth each time you reach (pass
through) the Depth set while descending and/or ascending.

SET UTILITIES
Sequence: Lead-in >> Units >> Wet Activ >> Water Type >> Backlight Duration >> Auto Glo >> Sampling Rate >> DSD >> BDSI.

• A (< 2 sec), while viewing Set Alarms Lead-in, to access Set Utilities Lead-in.

The Wet Activation feature allows you to disable activation of Dive Mode during activities when you only want to use the Watch
features and don't want diving information displayed or recorded.

The Water Type selection determines Depth calibration to accomodate activities in fresh or sea/salt water.

The Backlight Duration determines how long the Backlight will be On when activated by pressing the Light (L) button.

When Auto Glo is set On, the Backlight will activate automatically upon entry into Dive Mode and remain On until the BDSI time (up
to 1 min) elapses after surfacing. L button operation of the Backlight will be disabled during the dive, then enabled on the surface.

Sampling Rate determines the interval at which data is sampled and recorded for upload to the Computer Interface program. It
does not affect the rate at which data is measured for the display (which is at fixed 1 second rate).

The DSD (Dive Start Depth) feature allows you to select the Depth at which Dive Mode will be activated upon descent. Regardless
of the DSD set, every dive ends upon ascent above 2 FT (0.6 M) for the BDSI set.

The BDSI (Between Dive Surface Interval) feature allows you to select the time interval between surfacing and descending that
determines whether the descent is a new dive. Short intervals may be preferred for some activities and longer intervals for others,
thus a selection may be helpful.

At any time while entering settings -

• M (2 sec), or 2 minutes of no button action, will revert to SURF MAIN.

• L (< 2 sec) - to toggle the Backlight On/Off. Will be On for the duration time set.

LOG & HISTORY MODES

• A (2 sec), while Watch Main Time or FREE SURF Main is displayed, will access and step through Log and History modes.

Sequence: Main >> Day Log >> Full Log >> Day History >> Full History.
Day and Full Logs display information from the latest 99 dives.
The difference between the modes is that the information in Day Log is only retained until a dive is conducted on a new calendar
day, or the Dive # is reset to #1 (by A+S while viewing the SURF Main) at which time all data is deleted from the Day Log.
Full Log retains information until it is overwritten due to storage capacity.
After exceeding 99 dives, the most recent Dive will be recorded in the Full Log while deleting the oldest. It is highly unlikely that
this will affect the Day Log which will do the same if 99 is exceeded.
Dives are numbered 1 to 99. Numbering starts at #1 each new calendar day beginning after midnight, or when Reset (by A+S
while viewing the SURF Main).
In the event that a dive’s EDT exceeds 59:59 (min:sec), the data at the 59:59 interval will be recorded for the Log and History

The data includes items such as dive number, surface interval time, maximum depth, elapsed dive time, start date/time, start/end
depth, lowest temperature underwater, sampling rate, dive profile, and set points.

The F11 checks for the presence of an interface device connection to the Data Port once every second while operating in Watch
Main Time mode. Checks are not made if the Wet Activation contacts are wet.

Upon sensing an interface connection with the PC or Mac, all segments of the LCD will be displayed. This indicates that the PC or
Mac and F11 are connected and prepared for upload of settings or download of data, which is then initiated using the Computer
Interface program.

Operation reverts to the Watch Main Time screen after completion of the upload or download operation, or after 2 minutes if no PC
or Mac action was taken.

Prior to attempting to download data from your F11 or upload settings to it, review the Help section of the Computer Interface
program which serves as its user manual. Recommended is to print those sections of Help that you consider appropriate for
your interface activities.

 F11 OPERATING MANUAL

WARNINGS:

Never, under any circumstances, poke any object through any slots or holes of the module. Doing so may damage the
depth sensor, possibly resulting in erroneous depth displays.

If you are in doubt about the accuracy of your unit's depth readings, DO NOT attempt to dive with it until it has been
inspected by AERIS.

Never pressure test the module in an air environment. Doing so may damage the depth sensor, possibly resulting in
erroneous depth or time readings.

Never spray aerosols of any kind on, or near, an AERIS instrument. The propellants may chemically attack the plastic.

When a Low Battery condition is displayed prior to a dive, DO NOT attempt to dive with the unit until the battery is
replaced.

CARE AND CLEANING

Protect your F11 from shock, excessive temperatures, exposure to chemicals, and tampering. Protect the lens against scratches with a Instrument Lens b
Protector. Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater.

• Soak and rinse the F11 in fresh water at the end of each day of diving, and check to ensure that the areas around the Low Pressure (Depth) a
Sensor (Fig. 78a), Computer Interface Data Port (Fig. 78b), and Buttons are free of debris or obstructions.
• To dissolve salt crystals, soak in lukewarm water or a slightly acidic bath (50% white vinegar/50% fresh water). After removal from the bath,
place the F11 under gently running fresh water and towel dry before storing.
• Transport your F11 cool, dry, and protected.

INSPECTIONS AND SERVICE Fig. 78 - FRONT

Your F11 should be inspected annually by an Authorized AERIS Dealer who will perform a factory prescribed function check and inspection for dam-
age or wear. To keep the 2 year limited warranty in effect, this inspection must be completed one year after purchase (+/- 30 days).

AERIS recommends that you continue to have an inspection performed every year to ensure it is working properly. The costs of annual inspections are
not covered under the terms of the 2 year limited warranty.

To Obtain Service:
Take your F11 to an Authorized AERIS Dealer.

To return your F11 to AERIS:

• Record all data in the viewable Log and/or download the data in memory. All data will be erased during factory service.
• Package it using a protective cushioning material.
• Include a legible note stating the specific reason for return, your name, address, daytime phone number, serial number(s), and a copy of your
original sales receipt and Warranty Registration Card.
• Send freight prepaid and insured using a traceable method to AERIS.
• If shipping to AERIS, obtain an RA (Return Authorization) number by contacting AERIS Customer Service at 510/346-0010 x764 or send an

battery replacement

CAUTION: The procedures that follow must be closely adhered to avoid entrance of water into the unit.
Damage due to improper Battery replacement (or subsequent leakage of moisture into the unit) is not
covered by the F11's 2 year warranty.

NOTE: The F11 can be taken to an Authorized AERIS Dealer or sent to AERIS for proper battery change
service which includes pressure (depth) and leak testing to the max operating depth. Standard charges
for service will apply

The Battery Compartment should only be opened in a dry and clean environment with extreme care taken to prevent the entrance of
moisture or dust.

As an additional precautionary measure to prevent formation of moisture in the Battery Compartment, it is recommended that the
Battery be changed in an environment equivalent to the local outdoor temperature and humidity (e.g., do not change the Battery in
an air conditioned environment then take it outside during a hot sunny day).

Inspect the Buttons, Lens, and Housing to ensure they are not cracked or damaged. If there is any sign of moisture in the F11, DO
NOT attempt to use it for diving until it receives proper service.

Data Retention
When the battery is removed, settings and calculations for repetitive dives will be retained in volatile memory until a new battery is
installed.

All parts needed for the battery change that follows are provided in the F11 Battery Kit available from your AERIS Dealer.

ALTITUDE SENSING AND ADJUSTMENT

Prior to the first dive of a series of repetitive dives, Altitude (i.e., ambient pressure) is measured upon activation of Free Surface
Mode and every 15 minutes until a dive is made or operation reverts to Main Time after 2 hours.

> While it is operating in Watch Modes after a dive, measurements are taken every 15 minutes during the 24 hour period after
surfacing.
Fig. 84 - INSTALLING
> Measurements are only taken when the unit is dry. BATTERY
> Two readings are taken, the second reading 5 seconds after the first. The readings must be within 1 foot (30 cm) of each other
to record that ambient pressure as the current Altitude.

When diving in high altitude waters from 3,001 to 14,000 feet (916 to 4,270 meters), the F11 automatically adjusts to these a
conditions providing corrected Depth indication at intervals of 1,000 feet (305 meters).

No adjustments are made during any time that the Wet Contacts are bridged.

The F11 will not function as a Dive Gauge above 14,000 feet (4,270 meters). Fig. 85 - BATTERY COVER

WARNINGS:

• Conducting Free dives within a 24 hour period after conducting SCUBA dives, combined with the effects of multiple rapid
Free Dive ascents, increases your risk of decompression sickness. Such activities may result in accelerated entry into
decompression which could cause serious injury or death.

• Combining competitive type Free Dive activities that involve multiple descents/ascents with activities utilizing SCUBA during
the same 24 hour period is not recommended. Presently, there is no data relating to such activities.

• It is highly recommended that anyone planning to become involved in competitive type Free dive activities obtain proper
instruction and training from a recognized Free Diving trainer. It is imperative that the physiological affects be understood
and the diver is physically prepared.

• If your F11 stops working for any reason while operating in Free Dive Mode, it is important that you have anticipated this
possibility and are prepared for it.

• If you dive in situations where your trip would be ruined or your safety would be jeopardized by losing the use of your
F11, a backup instrument system is highly recommended.
