Hello,
After getting my new icon and the transmitter in August I was very happy with it, but I had a weird problem this weekend which is still not solved.
I'm not superstitious, but I checked my logbook and the problem happend in the middle of my 13th dive with the transmitter.
I started the dive with 200 bar and the transmitter stopped sending tank data at 150 bar. I surfaced with 120 bar, but the logbook in the icon remebers 150.
I thought it was a battery problem, but I tried repairing the icon with the tramsitter and that works, so there's power in the transmitter battery. However, the icon is not recieving any pressure data from the reciever. The pressure reads either "--" or just nothing at all.
Anyone has an idea what to try before sending it to the repair shop?
The manual recomends the transmitter be mounted on the side where the icon is worn, but my 1st stage has only 2 HP ports, and I have the manometer on the left one and the transmitter on the right one. I do, however, have the icon on my left hand as I am right-handed. Maybe that drained the battery too much.
After it is repaired I will switch the hands, however awkward it is, as I had a surfacing excercise, and it's hard to look at the icon and operate the AT switch with the same hand.
Any ideas?
