THIS THREAD HAS BEEN EDITED TO REFLECT CORRECT FIRMWARE REVISION CODE AND AFFECTED SERIAL NUMBERS
ELITE T3 DIVE COMPUTER
OPERATING SOFTWARE UPGRADE
AERIS Customer Service has received several ELITE T3 Dive Computers that were returned by product owners who experienced similar problems with the Buddy Pressure Check feature.
Upon activating the Buddy Pressure Check routine after having previously checked their buddy’s pressure, the previous pressure value was still displayed instead of the message NOT AVAIL which is what should appear on the screen when the buddy is out of signal range when a check is performed.
After extensive analysis and testing, AERIS programmers and engineers have determined that the portion of operating software used for the Buddy Pressure Check routine contains code associated with the Loss of Link routine that retains the last Pressure reading for a given period when the signal Link is removed.
AERIS is offering a free operating software Upgrade to all ELITE T3 product owners to eliminate any inconvenience during activities involving Buddy Pressure Checks. The ELITE T3 unit’s software will be upgraded to revision r1C.
Owners of any ELITE T3 unit with software revision 1A- 1B may download the Update Application and instructions from the AERIS web site at: http://www.diveaeris.com/VT3_ELITET3_Update_Setup_062507.zip
The USB PC Interface Cable is required to perform the upgrade. If you do not own the Interface Cable, or are not comfortable with performing the procedure yourself, the upgrade may be performed at the Authorized AERIS retail facility where you purchased your ELITE T3.
No other features and functions of the ELITE T3 are affected, only the Buddy Pressure Check routine.
No other models of AERIS Dive Computers featuring Buddy Pressure Check are affected.
Note that any ELITE T3 units with serial number 1197 and above will have been programmed with the upgraded operating software (r1C).
Identifying Serial Number & Software Revision
To access/view the SN screen while viewing the NORM (or GAUG) SURF Main screen –
Simultaneously depress the A (right/front) and S (right/side) buttons 5 times (2 seconds each time). If Revision r1C is displayed, the unit’s software program has been upgraded and no further action is required.
