New Perdix 2 owner - setup questions

[mountainsean]

Hi folks-

Santa brought a Perdix 2 and so far I love it (haven't dived with it yet though). I'm a typical recreational diver, so at least for now I have no use for some of the info screens on the bottom row - things like GF99, Tissues, Delta+5, etc. Is there any way to hide these screens when cycling through? Mainly I just want to access 1) the compass, 2) the detailed AI transmitter screen so I can check on my partner's air, and 3) temp and max depth. Everything else is just noise to me while on a dive. I know I can create a mini display with most of this showing all on the main screen, but I fear that might be too much info crammed into a small space, and could actually pose a risk of misreading something (esp. when narc'd), like mistaking your partner's pressure for your own, etc. So I want to keep the main screen with just my tank pressure and my GTR - simple, big, easy to read - and then cycle through between compass, partner's pressure/GTR, and temp/max depth. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Sean

You cannot "hide" the scrolled screens. You get good at hitting the right number of presses, though.

OK, thanks. Bummer.

Partner's air will be hit or miss. The range isn't huge. Not sure why you need that. Teach your partner proper gas management. Will they sit out as well, if you do for whatever reason?

I don't need it by any means, just figured it'd be a nice to have thing. Not sure I understand the "sit out" question - my partner has her own AI-computer and spg.

Go back to 3 Nitrox mode, this gives you air, 32, and 36 as default. Turn off the two you don’t use but stay in three mix

Why?

Why?

Just easier and functionally the same

I've seen well-intentioned people who want to manage their spouse/kid's air because they don't trust them to do it themselves. Sounds like that's not the case here.

Why?

Because thats what the manual says for rec diving. What exactly is it you don’t want on the bottom row? I know you can turn some of it off or rearrange it.

Disregard, you’re seeing these extra items because you went strictly to nitrox, try going back to 3 mix. I think you will find most of that goes away

It does not. The unit came in 3GasNx by default, and that's how I originally had it configured, and it showed all those extra screens. I switched it to Nitrox and it didn't change the availability of those screens - they're all still there. Just for kicks I tried it on Air and same thing.

Again, I'm not talking about the info displayed on the default/standard screen. I'm talking about what the manual on p.16 calls "info screens", which are accessed by pressing the right button repeatedly to cycle through them. There's a number of those info screens that are entirely useless to me on a typical rec dive (e.g. tissues, GF99, TTS, etc.), so I'd like to suppress them if possible so I don't have to cycle through them. It sounds like you don't know how to do that either, so I think we can move on, but thanks for trying.

I’m trying to help as I just did this all myself, since you seem to have all the answers, carry on and good luck.

Those are quite valuable bits of information, even for a recreational diver.

You can’t remove them.
