This computer has bugs. Although we haven’t found them all yet,
they are there. It is certain that there are things that this computer
does that either we didn’t think about, or planned for it to do
something different. Never risk your life on only one source of
information. Use a second computer or tables. If you choose to
make riskier dives, obtain the proper training and work up to them
slowly to gain experience.
This computer will fail. It is not whether it will fail but when it will
fail. Do not depend on it. Always have a plan for how to handle
failures. Automatic systems are no substitute for knowledge and

No technology will keep you alive. Knowledge, skill, and practiced

procedures are your best defense (except for not doing the dive, of
course).

2. Basic Operation Auto-on Details

The Teric turns on automatically and enters dive
mode when the absolute pressure is greater than 1100
millibar (mbar).
2.1. Turning On
For reference, normal sea level pressure is 1013 mbar
To turn the Teric On, press any button. and 1 mbar of pressure corresponds to approximately
1 cm (0.4”) of water. So, when at sea level, the Teric
will automatically turn-on and enter dive mode when
about 0.9 m (3 ft) underwater.
If at higher altitude, then the Teric auto-on will occur

at a deeper depth. For example, when at 2000 m
(6500 ft) altitude the atmospheric pressure is only
about 800 mbar. Therefore, at this altitude the Teric
must be submerged underwater by 300 mbar to
reach an absolute pressure of 1100 mbar. This means
the auto-on occurs at about 3 m (10 ft) underwater
when at an altitude of 2000 m.
Auto-on
The Teric will automatically turn-on and enter dive Do Not Rely On The Auto-On Feature
mode when submerged underwater. This is based on
pressure increase and not on the presence of water. This feature is supplied as a backup for
When auto-on is activated, the Teric will enter the last when you forget to turn on your Teric or
configured dive mode. forget to place it in dive mode.
Shearwater recommends turning your

computer on manually and entering dive
mode before each dive to confirm proper
operation and to double check battery
status and setup.

transferable to tanks of a different size. In the imperial system, tank sizes are described using
two values; capacity in Cuft at a rated pressure in PSI.
Contrast this to respiratory minute volume (RMV)

RMV describes your personal breathing rate, and is
therefore independent of tank size. To convert SAC in [PSI/minute] to RMV in [Cuft/

Why SAC instead of RMV? then multiply this by the SAC to get RMV.
Since RMV has the desirable property of being
