Have you even tried to contact the dealer or Mares? Maybe you are doing something wrong. That is my point. You also didn’t address why it arrived the day before you were going. You may be right but you haven’t made that case yet.

$1700? Really? I'm curious as to why you didn't go for a Perdix AI at $1175? What about the Icon HD made you pick it over, by most accounts, the better Shearwater unit?for a $1700 piece of hardware i have every right to whine tridacna. i am in the middle of nowhere with a dozen more dives to do with this frustrating issue. i also had no time to test on a bottle as i received it the day before i left.
what happened to Mares Q/A? the way this was packaged there is no way it was damaged during transport. i find a simple 'swap this out' excuse unacceptable in this day and age, especially when you are paying this much.

Currently, the Icon HD is $1,000 at Leisure Pro so you must have got one hell of a deal!The Shearwater is not a better rec computer and $1700 is crazy expensive. I bought mine new with the TX from leisure pro for $600...
Anyway, sounds like a typical situation with electronics. I believe it's called the bathtub curve where if failure is going to happen it will happen in the beginning and the failure rate will increase at life expectancy of the device.
Give me a moment and I'll post the paring instructions that are separate from the manual. This may help if your issue is that you can't get it to pair.
Otherwise I would swap the unit with the dealer or call Mares. Their customer service is top notch, IME.
Leisure pro will continuously put different items on sale. The Icon being one of them.Currently, the Icon HD is $1,000 at Leisure Pro so you must have got one hell of a deal!
So...your lack of planning become's someone else's emergency? Wait, it's your own.
C'mon. S.h.i.t happens mate.. It's how the company responds that's the acid test. If you're going on a trip into nowhere, you should be testing everything well before you leave. You can't go on a rant just because you planned badly. I have not heard a single reason why I would not buy the product (besides the fact that it's a total POS which is a different story altogether). Personally I think that you should have done better research before buying this thing but that's another story.
