2. GETTING ACQUAINTED

2.1. FUNCTIONS

The Suunto GEKKO can be set to function as a re gular air dive computer or as

a nitrox dive computer.

The GEKKO features tw o dive computer models (AIR, NITR OX), three main

operating modes (TIME/ST AND-BY, SURFACE, DIVING), tw o menu based

main modes (MEMORY, SET) and seven menu based submodes (review separate

Quick Reference Guide). You can scroll through the modes using the push buttons.

The mode indicator at the left side and the mode text at the bottom of the display

indicate the selected mode.

The timekeeping display is the default display of the instrument (Fig. 2.1.). If a

button is not pressed within 5 minutes, the dive computer beeps and returns to

the timekeeping display automatically (except in Diving mode). The timekeep-

ing display shuts off after two hours, but pressing the PLAN or TIME button

activates it.

Making the GEKKO Personal

For best use of the GEKKO take some time and make

it YOUR computer.

Set the correct time and date. Read this manual. Set

dive alarms and make all the other settings listed in

the introduction in this manual. Install the GEKKO

in your console or ﬁ t it on to your wrist.

All this so you know your computer and have it set

up as you want it before getting into the water.

2.2. PUSH BUTTONS

The GEKKO has easy-to-use push b uttons and an

advisory display, which guides the user. The SMART

(MODE) button is the k ey to the system. The two

scroll buttons, PLAN and TIME, are used for scroll-

ing up and down the menus and to show the alterna-

tive displays. The dive computer is controlled with

these three push buttons as follows (see Fig. 2.2.).
