| Data Communication Functions |
| Data is transferred between watches or between the watch and personal computer using the data communication functions. There are two ways for transferring data: the first involves using the infrared communication interface, and the second involves using the communication unit (USB communication interface) function. |
| 1.Infrared Communication |
| The infrared communication function of this watch uses an infrared (Ir) beam for communication in the same manner as the remote controllers of television sets and VCRs. Communication is performed between watches or between the watch and a personal computer by transmission and reception of this infrared beam by their respective infrared transmission/reception units. | |
| * | The infrared communication function of this watch complies with the wrist watch infrared communication standard IrWW (IrDA for Wrist Watches). |
| A. Communication Range |
| The maximum distance infrared communication can be performed with this watch is 15 cm (5.9 inch) in the vertical direction to the infrared transmission/reception unit. Although directivity has a margin of about +15 deg. to -15 deg., the communication distance becomes shorter as the angle becomes wider. | ![]() |
|
|
| 2. Communication by USB Interface |
| The communication unit is used during data communication by USB interface. | |
| * | Please purchase the separately sold communication unit when you want to use a USB interface for communications between the watch and PC. |
| * | When performing data communications with your PC using the communication unit, it is necessary to install a USB driver in the PC being used in advance. |
| * | Refer to "Communication Unit" in instruction manual for more details on the communication unit . |
| 3. Data Communication with PC | ||
| There are two ways for transferring data between the watch and a personal computer. The first involves using the infrared communication function, and the second involves using the communication unit (sold separately). Data can be edited on the PC using the software provided (contained on the accessory CD-ROM) after transferring data to the PC. The following indicates data that can be transferred to the PC. |
| a. Diving Log and Profile Data | |
| Diving data that has been transferred to the PC can be edited and managed using the AQUALAND GRAPH Nx software provided. For further details, refer to the section on "Accessory Software" in instruction manual and the "AQUALAND GRAPH Nx" manual contained in the accessory CD-ROM. | |
| Watch settings that can be transferred to the PC include location information (name and time difference from UTC), alarm, timer, travel time, daily graphic and dive alarm settings. Setting data incorporated using the "CAPgm" software provided can be edited on the PC, and edited settings can be sent back to the watch. For further details, refer to the section on "Accessory Software" of instruction manual and the "CAPgm" manual contained in the accessory CD-ROM. | |
|
| A. Preparations for Communication | ||
| Infrared Communication | ||
| The watch is switched to the data transfer standby display of the infrared communication mode. | ||
| (1) | The watch enters the infrared communication mode (initial display) when the lower left button (D) is pressed for at least 2 seconds and then released in any mode. | ![]() |
| (2) | Select "toPC" by pressing the upper left button (C) once. (The "*" mark moves to the left of "toPC".) | |
| (3) | The watch is switched to the data transfer standby display by pressing the upper right button (B). | |
| * | Refer to part "B. Infrared Communication Mode Operating Procedure" of the previous section "1. Infrared Communication" for a detailed explanation of the procedure for using the infrared communication mode. | |
| USB Communication | ||
| (1) | Connect the personal computer and communication unit with the USB cable (sold separately). | ![]() |
| Attachment of Ferrite Core When performing data communication using the USB communication interface, always make sure to attach a ferrite core to the special-purpose USB cable. ![]() |
Loop the USB cable once at the base of the B type connector (side that is connected to the communication unit), insert the overlapping portion of the cable into the groove inside the ferrite core and securely close the ferrite core. | |
|
| (2) | Attach the watch to the communication unit. | ![]() |
| (3) | The watch will enter the communication mode (USB communication state) if the watch body is properly connected to the communication unit. | |
| B. Sending and Receiving Data | ||
| The operations for sending and receiving data are performed with the software provided using a personal computer (AQUALAND GRAPH Nx or CAPgm). Refer to the AQUALAND GRAPH Nx or CAPgm manual contained on the CD-ROM provided for further details. | ||
| Communication Unit | ||
| The communication unit is sold separately. The communication unit also features a watch charging function. The charging specifications (including time required to charge the watch, number of charges and so forth) and charging procedure of the communication unit are the same as those of the charger provided. |

| 1. Names and Functions of Components | ||
![]() |
||
| LED (Light Emitting Diode) | ||
| This indicates that the communication unit is in the charging state. When the watch is attached to the communication unit, the LED lights and charging begins. The LED remains lit during charging and goes out when charging is completed. | ||
| USB Cable Connector | ||
| This connector is for connecting the communication unit and a personal computer with the USB cable. | ||
| Connection Pins | ||
| These pins are for connecting with the charging or data transfer pins of the watch. There are four connections pins. The two center pins are connected to the charging or data transfer pins of the watch, while the two outside pins are connected to the watch case. | ||
| Locking Tab | ||
| This tab is for holding and locking the watch to the connection pins. | ||
| Battery Holder Cover | ||
| The battery holder cover is opened to install the size AA alkaline batteries. 2 pcs. of size AA alkaline batteries are installed in the communication unit body and 2 pcs. of size AA alkaline batteries are installed inside the battery holder cover. | ||
| Leg (Removable) | ||
| The leg can be removed when attaching watch models having a metal band to the communication unit. | ||
While removed, keep the leg and the battery holder cover out of the reach of children to prevent accidental swallowing. |
| 2. Using the Communication Unit | |||
| A. Installing Batteries | |||
| (1) | Remove the battery holder cover on the bottom of the communication unit. The battery holder cover is removed by lifting up the tab while pushing in the direction of the arrow (OPEN). | ![]() |
|
| (2) | Install 2 pcs.of size AA alkaline batteries each (total of 4 pcs. of size AA alkaline batteries) in the communication unit and battery holder cover while properly aligning their polarity. | ||

||
| Fully open the locking tabs of the communication unit and remove the watch. | ||
|
| 4.Data Communication Between Watches |
| If your friend or acquaintance has a CYBER AQUALAND Nx (Movement No. D71*) or CYBER AQUALAND (Movement No. D70*), data can be transferred between watches by using the infrared communication function. Data that can be transferred between watches is indicated below. | ||||
| Time settings (time, date, time difference from UTC, daylight savings time) | ||||
| Alarm settings (set time) | ||||
| Dive alarm (depth alarm, dive time alarm) settings | ||||
| Anniversary data (graphic) | ||||
| * | Time and alarm settings can also be transferred between other watches equipped with an infrared communication function that complies with IrWW standard. | |||
| (1) | Switch the watch that is to receive data to the reception standby display
of the data you want to receive.
|
![]() |
||
| (2) | Switch the watch that is to send data to the transmission display of the data you want to send (last display of the menu). | |||
| (3) | Press the upper right button (B) or the EL light button once of the sending watch after aligning the respective infrared transmission/reception units of the sending and receiving watches. A sound is made by both the sending and receiving watches once data transfer begins. There is no sound made by the receiving watch if data transfer has failed (in the case of transferring data using CYBER AQUALAND or CYBER AQUALAND Nx). | |||
| (4) | Pressing the lower left button (D) for at least 2 seconds and then released on both the sending and receiving watches returns the watches to the time mode of the standard mode. | |||
