Anybody have experience with this:
I was flying back from LC back to Grand Cayman on a small prop plane. While waiting for my flight back to the states, my Aeris Atmos 2 starts beeping at me as I have reached the 3 hour limit for the dive I was apparently on. It was showing a current depth of 7 feet while I was in the airport. I had absolutely no idea how to get it to abort the dive or reset it without deleting my previous 15 dives. I had stretched the internal memory to the max (by changing the sampling rate) and I would be p-ssed if I was going to lose 3 hours of dive data. The only thing I could do was to pull the battery (first time I had tried to do this), but about the time I pulled the clear plastic cover off, I looked and the computer had switched off.
Fortunately, it maintained all my dive info for download, so that was ok. Any idea why this happened? Only thing I could think of was the pressure drop on descent? The computer was already "on" from the SI from the previous AM, but the contacts wouldn't be "wet". Clues? Is it broken?
I guess the important thing would be how to get it to stop if it does it again. The function of the metal reset pin on the second button doesn't appear to be documented anywhere, but pressing/holding it did nothing. I saw how to do a hard reset, but it appears it wipes out all your data.
Sorry this is so long, thanks in advance for any assistance.
