Old technology, but I'm looking for a simple computer just to tell me where I am re depth and deco limits. Well, I'm the simple one as I can't figure out the manual for steps to enter my nitrox levels before a dive. Would appreciate guidance.

Cant Figure out the Tusa IQ 700
Hey yall, I just bought the Tusa IQ 700 and for the life of me cannot figure it out... Is there an on-line tutoral available? this is my first computer i was certified in '90 and have not been diving in 15+ yrs... Computers wher for the diving elite back then... anybody have anythoughts on this...
Thanks. I read that thread but it didn't really help. For me, directions like, "That's it. Regarding using the two mix buttons. You just set them while you are on the surface for whatever two mixes you are going to use" is like saying "Just take out the transmission and put in a new one. Simple." I can get to the second screen, but neither the A nor C button "cycles the blinking cursor through each individual screen and the button on the right pick's the feature or enters data...whatever you want to look at it."

Does pressing button B take you from the time screen to the dive set screen?
Once at the dive set screen, does repeatedly pressing button A cycle you through a series of ten other screens, two of them being MIX1 and MIX2?
Can you adjust the values on those screens by pushing or holding button C?
I'm trying to lay it out in such a way that you can distinguish between being confused by the instructions and having one or more buttons that are failing. As you said, you are dealing with old technology here.

Button B(the middle one) first and follow with C to enter to Gage mode.
There is NOT even a simple description on how to decrease/increase the O2 % when in Gage mode.
Awful.
This is much better.

Badly written is an understatement.

That computer was designed by Seiko for several Brands : Tusa, Zeagle (in2ition), Cressi (Archimedes), DiveRite (Nitek Duo and Trio), Apeks (Quantum) and probably many others.
There were slight variations in the software though, depending on the brand the computer was sold under. For example, if I remember correctly, I could set the max PpO2 up to 1.6b by increment of 0.1, on my DiveRite Trio, but on the Apeks Quantum of a buddy of mine, the max PpO2 was 1.4b. So, don't worry if your computer has different limits than the ones give in the Dive Rite manual.
It was a very good, reliable and easy computer to use. I would be still using it if the pressure sensor hadn't conked out.

Are you replying to a private message? What "alternate manual" did you come across?

Centrals posted it up above. The original really is indecipherable for my tiny head.
The main difference I see is how they're labeling the buttons.
