SPORT temperature related problem?

Post by HKu »

I'm diving atm on Curaçao and the day time temperature is around 33/34C°. Now the Sport manual says the temp range is - 5 to 40C°.
Prepairing my dives, it happened a few times that the display, after starting up normally, began to flicker, turned gray and then went black.
After entering the water, it returns to normal, in dive mode, but it makes planning, changing gas before the dive, etc. rather difficult.
Any one ever experienced something like this and am I right in assuming this might be temperature related?

The Saft batteries.
The "solution" I now use is that I put my sport in the cooler with the fruitjuice and other stuff we take to the beach and take it out right before the dives. That seems to work.

Hello,

It's a bug we'll fix in one of the next releases. But it should be just fine with the "allowed" 40°C.
