Update:

During the first dive computer remained in standby screen with red led continuously on,after 20 minutes suddenly in dive mode and everything working.Post-dive same problem with the logbook,took more than 15 minutes to read,then same for reading the last entry(displayed correctly though).Older dives(1.96 beta) are not displayed correctly.Dives done with 2.0 are not displayed at all.
I will check again in the afternoon,but it seems i am going back to 2.00 at the end of the day.

OK then afternoon dive was without delay in switching on,the logbook problem persists,OSTC rebooted itself while trying to read the entries.

Cheers,
Richard

I'm a little bit puzzled about the Bailcounter, I thought it was active only in bailout mode (ie start counting when switching to BO mode) but it appears that it's not the case, I see it counting when I'm in CCR mode.
Did I miss something? Or maybe I didn't understand how to use it. :(

The functionality is actually the exact opposite of what you are expecting. During bailout you check your pressure gage(es) for actual values. In CCR mode, the bailout counter predicts the needed amount of gas in order to do a complete reverse profile, i.e. to go back to the entrance and/or the last reset point via the very same route as during entry. Prediction is based on a set RMV/SAC.

Hence, it should be counting already in CCR mode. Once you bail, it has actually lost it's value and I assume (even though I haven't actually tried it) that the gascounter is disabled when the user selects bailout mode.

If you go back to the first posts in this thread you will find the exact specification of the functionality as well as examples of usage.

Ok, so I incorrectly red the specs! Thank you Dragan for the explanation. ;)
