I always put the watch within 5 inches of the transmitter and if you have a D9 you need to sync it up before it hits the water or it won't sync up, well mine won't

I'm the least concerned with the tx quitting during the dive as long as I'm aware how much air I got prior to failure. My only concern would be tx sending wrong psi info - is this possible or has this happened to any of you guys? My D9 / tx already went through 2 battery changes and always came within +/- 5 psi when I do my analog checks before and after the dive. Now I wonder if there has been incidents wherein the pressure difference was +/- 100 psi or more?
dpaustex,
How long have you had your transmitters? Also, where you taking photos when the transmitters malfunctioned?

I have a few Sunnto computers (Vytek, 3-Vyper Air, HeLO2, D9tx) and have not had a transmitter fail me. Have I failed the transmitter? Yes!
What have I done wrong?
Issue: Strap on the computer, turn the gas on and walk back to my vehcile to grab something. When I return I have PSI failure and have to re-sync.
Solution: Don't leave necessary equipment in vehicle, don't turn gas on until you are ready to get in the water or leave computer attached to the BC until ready to dive.
Issue: PSI fail signal underwater when hands are extended in front and I'm diving in very limited vis condtions
Solution: Don't dive in very limited vis conditions or move hands closer to torso (praying) so signal will return.
kmarks,
Adjusting the sample rate will not change the response time that your computer will relay the pressure readings from your transmitter to your display. The sample rate is strictly for recording data and how often you want the data recorded in the computers memory. If you are worried about the accuracy of your computer & transmitter, the best route would be to send it in to an authorized service center for evaluation.
If you would like to do this please locate the nearest service center from the link provided.
