Conventions Used in this Manual
These conventions are used to highlight important
information:
INFORMATION
Information boxes contain useful tips
for getting the most out of your Teric.
CAUTION
Caution boxes contain important
instructions on operating the Teric.
WARNING
Warning boxes contain critical
information that may affect your
personal safety.
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 on how to handle
failures. Automatic systems are no substitute for knowledge and
training.
No technology will keep you alive. Knowledge, skill, and practiced
procedures are your best defense (except for not doing the dive, of
course).
WARNING
This computer is capable of calculating deco stop requirements. These
calculations are at best a guess of the real physiological decompression
requirements. Dives requiring staged decompression are substantially
more risky than dives that stay well within no-stop limits.
Diving with rebreathers and/or diving mixed gases and/or performing
staged decompression dives and/or diving in overhead environments
greatly increases the risk associated with of scuba diving.
YOU REALLY ARE RISKING YOUR LIFE
WITH THIS ACTIVITY.

1. Introduction
The Shearwater Teric is an advanced dive computer for
all types of diving.
Please take the time to read this manual. Your safety
may depend on your ability to read and understand the
Teric displays.
Diving involves risk and education is your best tool for
managing this risk.
Do not use this manual as a substitute for proper dive
training and never dive beyond your training. What you
don’t know can hurt you.
1.2. Modes Covered by this Manual
This manual provides operating instructions for the Teric in Watch
Mode as well as five Dive modes:
•
Open Circuit Recreational (OC Rec)
•
Open Circuit Technical (OC Tec)
•
Closed Circuit / Bail Out (CC/BO)
•
Gauge
•
Freedive
Some features of the Teric only apply to certain dive modes. Look
for the corresponding mode icons throughout the manual to help
distinguish which features are available in the various modes.
If not otherwise indicated, features described are applicable in all
dive modes.
Change the Dive Mode from the Dive Settings menu.
See details on page 63.
1.1. Notes on this manual
This manual contains cross-references between
sections to make it easier to navigate.
Underlined text indicates the presence of a link to
another section.
Do not change any settings on your Teric without
understanding the consequence of the change. If
you are unsure, consult the appropriate section of the
manual for reference.

2. Basic Operation
2.1. Turning On
To turn the Teric On, press any button.
Auto-on
The Teric will automatically turn-on and enter dive
mode when submerged underwater. This is based on
pressure increase and not on the presence of water.
When auto-on is activated, the Teric will enter the last
configured dive mode.
Auto-on Details
The Teric turns on automatically and enters dive
mode when the absolute pressure is greater than 1100
millibar (mbar).
For reference, normal sea level pressure is 1013 mbar
and 1 mbar of pressure corresponds to approximately
1 cm (0.4”) of water. So, the Teric will automatically
turn-on and enter dive mode when about 0.9 m (3 ft)
underwater when at sea level.
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.
Do Not Rely On The Auto-On Feature
This feature is supplied as a backup for
when you forget to turn on your Teric or
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.
All Teric operations are simple single button presses.
Don’t worry about remembering all the button rules
below. Button hints make using the Teric easy.

Freedive Mode Ascent / Decent Rate Display
Freedivers ascend much faster than SCUBA divers. So,
ascent rate in freedive mode is measured in feet per
second (fps) or meters per second (mps) rather than
feet per minute or meters per minute.
In freedive mode, 1 arrow per 1 fps / 0.3mps.
Descent rate is displayed in addition to ascent
rate in freedive mode.

No Decompression Limit (NDL)
Deco Stop Depth and Time
Once Mandatory decompression is required, NDL will
be replaced by decompression information.
By default the Teric uses a 10ft (3m) last stop depth.
At this setting, you may perform the last stop at 20ft
(6m) with no penalty. The only difference is that the
predicted time-to-surface will be shorter than the
actual TTS since off-gassing is occurring slower than
expected. There is also an option to set the last stop
to 20ft (6m) if you wish.
See the Decompression Stops section on page 25
for details.

From the main screen, the INFO (bottom right) button
steps through info screens.
When all info screens have been viewed, pressing
INFO again will return to the main screen.
Pressing the MENU (bottom left) button will also
return to the home screen at any time.
Info screens also automatically time-out after 10
seconds, returning to the home screen. This prevents
critical NDL, DECO and TTS information from being
hidden for an extended period.
When using the Standard layout the AI, compass and
Tissues Info screens do not automatically time out.
Note that although these screens are generally
representative of the Teric display, info screen content
varies for each mode. For example, decompression
related info screens are not available in gauge mode.

Partial Pressure of Oxygen in Diluent
DilPO2 displays the partial pressure
of oxygen in the diluent gas PPO2.
Displays in Flashing Red when
outside customizable PPO2 Limits.
When performing a manual diluent
flush, you can check this value to
see what the expected PPO2 will be
at the current depth.
CNS Toxicity Percentage
Central Nervous System oxygen
toxicity loading percentage. Turns
Yellow when greater 90%. Turns
Red when greater than 150%.
The CNS percentage is calculated
continuously, even when on the
surface and turned off. When deco
tissues are reset, the CNS will also
be reset.
The CNS value (short for Central Nervous System
Oxygen Toxicity) is a measure of how long you have
been exposed to elevated partial pressures of oxygen
(PPO2) as a percentage of a maximum allowable
exposure. As PPO2 goes up, the maximum allowable
exposure time goes down. The table we use is from
the NOAA Diving Manual (Fourth Edition). The
computer linearly interpolates between these points
and extrapolates beyond them when necessary.
Above a PPO2 of 1.65 ATA, the CNS rate increases at a
fixed rate of 1% every 4 seconds.
During a dive the CNS never decreases. When back
at the surface, a half-life of elimination of 90 minutes
is used. So for example, if at the end of the dive the
CNS was 80%, then 90 minutes later it will be 40%.
In 90 more minutes it will be 20%, etc. Typically after
about 6 half-life times (9 hours), everything is back
close to equilibrium (0%).

Gradient Factor
The deco conservatism value when
the deco model is set to GF. The low
and high gradient factors control
the conservatism of the Bühlmann
GF algorithm. See “Clearing up the
Confusion About Deep Stops” by
Erik Baker for more information.
GF99
The current gradient factor as a
percentage (i.e. super-saturation
percent gradient)
0% means the leading tissue super-saturation is equal
to ambient pressure. Displays “On Gas” when tissue
tension is less than the inspired inert gas pressure.
100% means the leading tissue super-saturation is
equal to the original M-Value limit in the Bühlmann
ZHL-16C model.
SurfGF
The surfacing gradient
factor expected if the diver
instantaneously surfaced.
GF99 and SurfGF display in Red when the current
gradient factor modified M-Value is exceeded. Each
display in red when 100% is exceeded.

measure of how fast you are on-
gassing or off-gassing.
Δ+5
The predicted change in TTS if you
were to stay at the current depth
for 5 more minutes.
A positive “Delta plus 5” indicates that you are on-
gassing the leading tissue while a negative number
indicates that you are off-gassing the leading tissue.

Pressure
The pressure in millibars. Two values are shown,
the surface (surf) pressure and the current (now)
pressure.
Note that typical pressure at sea level is 1013 millibar,
although it may vary with the weather (barometric
pressure). For example, in a low pressure system
surface pressure may be as low as 980 millibar, or as
high as 1040 millibar in a high pressure system.
For this reason, the displayed PPO2 displayed on the
surface may not exactly match the FO2 (fraction of
O2), although the displayed PPO2 is still correct.
The surface pressure is set based on the lowest
pressure the Teric sees in the 10 minutes prior to the
start of a dive.
Time
In a 12 or 24 hour format. Time
format can be changed in the watch
settings menu.
End of Dive Time (EOD)
This is similar to TTS but is
expressed as a time of day.
The time of day at which you
can expect to surface if you
depart immediately, ascend at
10mpm or 33fpm, change gases
when prompted, and perform all
decompression stops as directed.

Sample Tissue Bar Graphs
Tissues Bar Graph
The tissues bar graph shows the tissue compartment
inert gas tissue tensions based on the Bühlmann ZHL-
16C model.
The fastest tissue compartment is shown on the
top, and the slowest on the bottom. Each bar is the
combined sum of the nitrogen and helium inert gas
tensions. Pressure increases to the right.
The vertical Cyan line shows the inert gas inspired
pressure. The yellow line is the ambient pressure. The
red line is the ZHL-16C M-Value pressure.
Tissues that are supersaturated above ambient
pressure are shown in yellow, and tissues that are
supersaturated above the M-Value are shown in red.
Note that the scale for each tissue compartment is
different. The reason the bars are scaled in this way is
so that the tissues tensions can be visualized in terms
of risk (i.e. how close they are as a percentage to
Bühlmann’s original super- saturation limits). Also, this
scale changes with depth, since the M-Value line also
changes with depth.

This sections describes the different types of alerts
and how the diver is notified of them.
For a list of the alerts a diver may encounter see
Warnings and Information Displays on page 81
Types of alerts
Dive Events
Alert the user of non-critical dive events.
No specific action is required
on the part of the diver.
Dive Events time out after 4 seconds or can be
cleared by pressing any button.
Warnings
Alert the user to critical safety information.
The cause of warnings could
be life threatening if not
immediately addressed.
Warnings can only be cleared manually by the user.
Press any button to acknowledge and clear a warning.
For some critical conditions, the alert indicator will
persist on screen until the warning condition abates.
Errors
Alert the user to system errors.
Errors represent unexpected
system behavior. Contact
Shearwater if you experience
a system error.
Color Coding
Color coding of text draws attention to problems or
unsafe situations.
text indicates normal conditions by default.
Note that this normal condition color can be selected
in the Settings > Display > Colors menu.
YELLOW is used for warnings
that are not immediately
dangerous but should be
addressed.
FLASHING RED is used for
critical warnings that could
be life threatening if not
immediately addressed.

Color blind users
Warnings display on a solid inverted
background.
Critical alerts flash between inverted and
normal text.
Doesn't flash.
When the computer detects a dangerous situation,
such as high PPO2, a warning is triggered. The large
primary warning can be dismissed, but the alert
indicator will persist until the condition that caused
the warning is resolved.
Pressing the menu button while
the alert icon is present will display
the warnings overlay which lists all
of the current persistent alerts in
order of priority.
Pressing the menu button a
second time brings up the main
menu as normal.
Audible and Vibration Alerts
In addition to visual alerts, the Teric
has audible and vibration alerts
to help quickly notify the diver of
warnings, errors and dive events.
The alert notifications settings can
be changed in Main menu > Alerts.
It’s important the diver is aware of
what type of alert notification they
can expect on a dive. The currently
selected alert notifications are
shown on:
•
The owners information screen
•
The surface screen
A Test Alerts tool is also available
in the Dive Tools menu and should
be used regularly before diving to
ensure the beeper and vibrator are
functioning properly.
Limitations Of Alerts
All alarm systems share common weaknesses.
They can alarm when no error condition exists
(false positive). Or they can fail to alarm when
a real error condition occurs (false negative).
So by all means respond to these alarms if
you see them, but NEVER depend on them.
Your judgment, education, and experience are
your best defenses. Have a plan for failures,
build experience slowly, and dive within your
experience.

ALERTS
If you do not like audible or vibrating
alerts, they are easily silenced.
4. Safety and Decompression Stops
Safety and decompression stops are pauses inserted
into the ascent to the surface in order to reduce the
risk of decompression illness (DCI).
4.1. Safety Stops
A safety stop is an optional stop added to all dives
before surfacing. Safety stops can be set to fixed
times of 3, 4, or 5 minutes, set to adapt based on
dive conditions, or turned off completely. See Deco
Settings.
The Teric does not do “deep safety stops”. That is,
there are no extra stops added around 50ft to 60ft
(15m to 18m) when ascending from a no-deco dive.
Safety stops behave as follows:
Safety Stop Required
Once the depth exceeds 35ft
(11m), a safety stop will be
required. An alert will occur
when in the safety stop depth
range, shallower than 20ft.
Automatic Countdown
Countdown begins once the depth
becomes shallower than 20ft (6m).
Countdown will continue while the
depth remains in the range of 7ft to
27ft (2.4m to .8.3m).
Countdown Paused
If the depth goes outside of the
range 7ft to 23ft (2.4m to 7.0m),
then the countdown pauses, and
the remaining time displays in
yellow.
Safety Stop Complete
When the countdown reaches zero,
the display changes to “Clear”
and you are now clear to ascend to
the surface.
Countdown Reset
The countdown will reset if the depth
once again exceeds 35ft (11m)
No Lockout for omitting
There is no lock-out or other penalty for
omitting a safety stop, as they are optional.
If you ascend to the surface before the safety
stop countdown finishes, the safety stop will
appear paused, but this will disappear once
the dive ends.
We recommend performing safety stops as
planned as they offer a reduction in risk of
DCI and take little time.

4.2. Decompression Stops
Decompression stops are mandatory stops that
must be followed in order to reduce the risk of
decompression illness (DCI)
Decompression stops occur at fixed 10ft (3m)
intervals.
Decompression stops display as follows:
Replaces NDL
Once the NDL reaches zero, deco
stop information will replace it on
the left side of the Deco Row in the
Standard layout, or the left side of the
info row home screen in the Big layout.
In OC Rec mode, the deco stop label
appears in red as deco obligation is an
emergency condition in recreational
diving.
Deco Stops Required
An alert will indicate when Deco
Stops are required
Do not dive beyond your training
Only perform decompression diving if you have
received proper training to do so.
Diving with any type of overhead ceiling,
whether in a cave or shipwreck, or from a
decompression requirement, adds significant
risk. Have a plan to handle to failures and never
rely solely on a single source of information.
Deco Stop Violation
If you ascend shallower than a
deco stop, but remain deeper
than your current ceiling, stop
info will display in yellow.
If you ascend shallower than
your current ceiling, the display
will flash red. Significant
stop violations will result in a
“MISSED STOP” alert.
Deco Stops Complete
In OC Tec mode, once all
decompression stops are
complete, a “Deco Clear” dive
info event will be triggered.
If enabled, the Deco Clear counter will begin counting
up from zero.
In OC Rec mode, once all decompression stops are
complete, the safety stop will begin
counting down
If safety stops or the Deco Clear Counter are turned
off, the display will say “Clear”.
There is no lock-out or other penalty for
violating decompression stops.
The policy is to provide clear warnings that
the decompression scheduled was violated,
to allow you to make decisions based on your
training.
This may include contacting your dive
insurance provider, contacting the nearest
recompression chamber, or performing first aid
based on your training.
No Lockout for violating Deco Stops

5. Decompression and Gradient
Factors
The basic decompression algorithm used by this
computer is Bühlmann ZHL-16C. It has been modified
by the use of Gradient Factors that were developed
by Erik Baker. We have used his ideas to create
our own code to implement it. We would like to
give credit to Erik for his work in education about
decompression algorithms, but he is in no way
responsible for the code we have written.
The computer implements Gradient Factors
creating varied levels of conservatism. The levels
of conservatism are pairs of number like 30/70.
For a more detailed explanation of their meaning,
please refer to Erik Baker’s excellent articles:
“Clearing Up The Confusion About “Deep Stops”
and Understanding M-values. The articles are readily
available on the web. You might also want to search
for “Gradient Factors” on the web.
The default of the system depends on the dive mode
For OC Rec mode the default conservatism setting is
medium (40/85).
For OC Tec and CC/BO modes where some
decompression is presumed, the default is a more
conservative 30/70. The system provides several
settings that are more aggressive than the default.
Do not edit GF values until you understand the
effects.

•
A Gradient Factor is simply a decimal fraction (or
percentage) of the M-value Gradient.
•
Gradient Factors (GF) are defined from 0% to 100%.
•
A Gradient Factor of 0% represents the ambient
pressure line.
•
A Gradient Factor of 100% represents the M-value line.
•
Gradient Factors modify the original M-value equations
for conservatism within the decompression zone.
•
The lower Gradient Factor value (GF Lo) determines
the depth of the first stop. Used to generate deep
stops to the depth of the "deepest possible deco stop"
•
The higher Gradient Factor value (GF Hi) determines
the surfacing tissue supersaturation.
5.1. Decompression Information
Accuracy
Decompression information displayed by this
computer, including NDL, stop depth, stop time, and
TTS are predictions. These values are continuously
recalculated and will change with changing
conditions. The accuracy of these predictions
is dependent on several assumptions made by
the decompression algorithm. It is important to
understand these assumptions to ensure accurate
decompression predictions.
It is assumed that the diver’s ascent rate is 33ft/min.
Ascending significantly faster or slower than this will
impact decompression obligations. It is also assumed
that the diver is carrying and plans to use every
gas that is currently turned on. Leaving gases that
are not expected to be used turned on will result in
inaccurate time to surface, decompression stop and
decompression time information being displayed.
On ascent, it is assumed that the diver will perform
decompression stops using the gas with the highest
PPO2 below the OC Deco PPO2 value (default 1.61).
If there is a better gas available, the current gas will
be displayed in yellow, indicating that a gas change
is expected. The decompression prediction displayed
always assumes that the best gas will be used. Even
if the switch to a better gas has not been completed
yet, decompression predictions will be displayed as if
the switch is about to occur in the next 5 seconds.
Divers can encounter longer than expected
decompression stops as well as inaccurate time to
surface predictions if they fail to switch to a better
gas when prompted by the computer.
Example: A diver on a decompression dive to
40m/131ft for 40 minutes with GF settings of
45/85 has two gases programmed into their
computer and turned on: 21/00 & 99/00. The diver’s
decompression schedule will be calculated based on
breathing 21% oxygen for the decent, bottom and
ascent phases of the dive until the diver ascends to
6m/20ft. At 6m/20ft the PPO2 of the 99/00 mix is
1.606 (less than 1.61), so it is the best decompression
gas available.
Decompression information for the remaining stops
will be calculated and displayed assuming the
diver is going to switch to this better gas. This dive
profile indicates these stops would be 8 minutes
at 6m/20ft and 12 minutes at 3m/10ft. If the diver
never makes the switch to 99/00, the computer
will not allow them to surface until adequate
off-gassing has occurred, but it will continue to
assume the diver is about to make the gas switch
and the decompression times given will be grossly
inaccurate. The 6m/20ft stop will take 19 minutes to
clear and the 3m/10ft stop will take 38 minutes to
clear. That is a total time to surface difference of 37
minutes.
In a lost gas scenario or in the event a diver forgets
to turn off a gas they are not carrying before a dive,
gases can be turned off during the dive in Main menu
-> Edit Gases.
6. Example Dives
6.1. OC Rec Example Dive
This is an example of displays that might be seen on a
simple no-decompression dive in OC Rec Mode using
the Big layout configuration.
1. Pre-Dive - This is the surface screen the diver sees
immediately before descending. At the surface the
cyan OC Rec icon is visible, the battery is shown to
be about half full, and the Alerts are set to sound and
vibrate.
2. Decent - As we pass through 30 feet, the time-
to-surface (TTS) shows one minute. This shows that
the computer is expecting the diver to ascend at
approximately 33 feet per minute or 10 meters per
minute. All decompression (and NDL) predictions are
based on this assumed ascent rate.
3. Max Depth - The no-decompression limit starts off
showing 99, but then starts to show smaller numbers
as depth increases. The 3rd screen shows that we will
go into deco in 10 minutes.
4. Low NDL - When the NDL goes below 5 minutes, it
turns yellow indicating that we should begin making
our ascent to avoid a decompression obligation
5. Ascent - As we ascend our NDL begins increasing
again indicating that we can stay a bit longer at this
shallower depth The ascent rate indicator shows that
we are ascending at about 22 fpm or 6mpm.
6. Safety Stop - When we ascend shallower than 20ft
we are prompted to perform a safety stop. In this case
the safety stop setting has been set to Adapt, and
because of our deep profile, the countdown began
at 5 minutes. When the safety stop has completed,
a CLEAR indicator will inform us that it is safe to
surface.

6.2. OC Tec Example Dive
This is an example of displays that might be seen on a
multi-gas decompression dive in OC Tec Mode using
the Standard layout configuration.
Max Depth: 60 meters Bottom Gas: Trimix (18/45)
Bottom Time: 20 minutes Deco Gases: 50% & 99% O2
1. OC Gas Setup - Best practices include checking
your gas list before each dive. This screen is available
in Edit Gases section of the main menu in dive mode.
All gases that are turned on will be used to calculate
the decompression scheduled. Make sure to turn off
gases you are not carrying.
2. Verify Decompression Settings - It is also prudent
to ensure all other settings are correct before
starting every dive. In addition to checking gases,
we recommend verifying values in Dive and Deco
Settings.
3. Plan Dive - Use the dive planner found in Dive Tools
to check the total runtime, decompression scheduled
and gas requirements for the dive.
The on-board deco planner is limited in functionality,
so for complex dives we recommend using desktop or
smart phone dive planning software.
4. Pre-Dive - Prior to beginning the dive we can see
from the mode indicator that we are in OC Tec mode.
Our active gas is currently 18/45, our battery is about
half charged, and only vibration alerts are active.
5. Decent - As we descend our dive time begins
counting, the Deco Box begins showing our NDL.

6. Max depth - Once NDL hits 0, deco stops will be
needed. Stop requirements display in the deco box in
place of the NDL. TTS has increased to include deco
stop time.
7. Ascent - It is safe to ascend to 24 meters. 2 minutes
must be spent at that deco stop. While ascending,
the bar graph to the right of the depth shows the
ascent rate (10 mpm). All decompression predictions
are made assuming an ascent rate of 10 meters per
minute.
8. Gas Change - All decompression predictions are
made assuming you will switch to the best available
gas on ascent. At the 21m stop, the breathing gas
turns yellow indicating that a better breathing gas
is available. If the switch is not made, deco stop and
time information will be inaccurate.
9. Missed Deco Stop - If you ascend shallower than
the decompression ceiling the Deco information
will flash red. If you fail to descend, a missed deco
stop warning will be triggered and the Alert icon
will appear. Acknowledge and clear the warning by
pressing any button. Re-descend deeper than the
stop depth to clear the flashing text and alert icon.
10. Deco Clear - Once all decompression obligation
has been cleared, the deco clear counter begins
counting up from zero.

6.3. CC Example Dive
This is an example of displays that might be seen on a
multi-gas decompression dive in CC/BO Mode using
the Standard layout configuration.
Max Depth: 90 meters Diluent Gas: Trimix (10/50)
Bottom Time: 20 minutes Bailout Gases: 14/55, 21%, 50%
1. CC Gas Setup - Best practices include checking your
gas list before each dive. This screen is available in
Edit Gases section of the main menu in CC mode. For
this dive the only diluent gas is Trimix 10/50.
(10% O2, 50% He, 40% N2)
2. OC Gas Setup - Several OC gases are required for
this dive. If we switch to BO mode, we can use the
Edit gases section of the main menu to define our
bailout gases as well.
We will verify we are carrying sufficient bailout gas
when we plan the dive.
3. Verify Decompression Settings - It is prudent
to ensure all other settings are correct before
starting every dive. In addition to checking gases,
we recommend verifying values in Dive and Deco
Settings.
4. Plan Dive - Use the dive planner found in Dive Tools
to check the total runtime, decompression schedules
and bailout gas requirements for the dive.
For closed circuit dives, two decompression schedules
will be generated. A primary scheduled for closed
circuit deco, and a bailout decompression scheduled.
The on-board deco planner is limited in functionality,
so for complex dives we recommend using desktop or
smart phone dive planning software.

Note on Hypoxic Diluents
Hypoxic diluents such as 10/50 in this
example require special training since they
can be deadly near the surface.
5. Pre-Dive - Prior to beginning the dive we can see
from the mode indicator that we are in CC mode. Our
active diluent gas is set to 10/50, our set point is 0.7,
the Teric’s battery is about half charged, and only
vibration alerts are active.
6. Diluent Check - Pressing INFO a few times brings
up the info screen that shows the diluent PPO2. The
red indicates it is unsafe to breath directly.
This information can be viewed at any time to verify
the diluent is safe or to check what the expected
PPO2 will be when flushing with diluent at depth.
7. Automatic Set point Switch - The optional auto
set point switch was enabled with a depth setting of
15m. So as we cross 15m on the descent, the set point
automatically switches from 0.7 to 1.3.
8. Decreasing NDL - As we descend deeper, the NDL
decreases. The TTS shows it will take 5 minutes to
ascend to the surface at 10m/min (33ft/min).
9. Bottom Time - We have completed the bottom
time. The TTS indicates we have about 1.5 hours of
decompression to do. The first stop will be at 48m for
1 minute.
10. Ascending to the First Stop - Here we are
ascending at 3m/min. This is slower than the
expected 10m/min ascent rate. This slow ascent has
caused the TTS to rise, as most tissues are still on-
gassing.

11. First Deco Stop - The slow ascent has caused the
first stop to clear before we reached it. This often
happens with slow ascents.
12. A Problem Has developed - There is a problem
with the O2 readings on the rebreather controller
and the decision has been made to bail out. After
physically switching the BOV or mouthpiece, the
computer needs to be set to BO mode for proper
deco calculations.
13. Bailout - One Press of the MENU button brings up
“SWITCH CC -> BO” as the first menu item. Pressing
SELECT (FUNC button) makes the change.
Note the dive mode indicator has changed to BO to
indicate the bailout condition. The info row has also
changed to reflect the customization settings for BO
mode. The best BO gas was automatically selected,
and the deco schedule has been adjusted based on
the BO gases.
14. Gas Switch Required - We are now at 21m,
having completed a few more deco stops. The gas
is now displaying in yellow, indicating a better gas is
available.
15. Gas Switch - Pressing MENU twice brings up the
“SELECT GAS” option in the main menu, and pressing
SELECT (FUNC button) enters it. The best gas will
already be the initial selection, just press SELECT
once more time to make it the active gas.
16. Deco Clear - Follow the deco stops until they
have all cleared and the Deco Clear Counter begins
counting up from zero.

6.4. Gauge Mode
Gauge Mode turns the Teric into a simple depth and
time display (a.k.a. a bottom timer).
Since decompression tissues are not tracked in Gauge
Mode, changing to or from Gauge Mode resets the
deco tissues.
`
By default, gauge mode is displayed in “Big” layout
with the Max depth and Stopwatch shown in the info
row.
Change to the Standard layout configuration for
additional on screen information and increased
customizability.
Learn about home screen customization options on
page 21.
While on the surface, the MAX and AVG values display
the maximum and average depth of the last dive.
The AVG depth displayed on the surface is for the
entire dive, regardless of whether the reset average
depth option was used. The dive log also records the
average depth for the entire dive.

7.3. Freediving Sets
A freedive set is a collection of settings customized
for a specific type of freediving.
The Teric supports 3 independently customizable
sets. For each set, the user can customize the alerts
activated during a dive as well as a handful of settings
that will often change between activities. Fresh water
in a pool vs salt water in the ocean for example.
Freediving Alerts
Freediving alerts differ from normal alerts in several
ways.
•
Freediving alerts only appear for 4 seconds.
•
Come in 3 colors depending on the urgency of the
alert.
•
Fully customizable within a set
•
Each has a customizable depth or time as a
triggering condition
Freedive mode info screen sequence:
Press the INFO button
(bottom right), to step
through Info Screens
Return to Main Screen by:
•Pressing MENU button
•Stepping past last screen

Compass Limitations
It is important to understand some compass
limitations before use.
Calibration:
The digital compass needs occasional calibration. This
can be done in the Settings > Compass menu and
takes only one minute. See the compass sub-section
of the Settings Menu Reference on page 71 for
compass calibration instructions.
Interference:
Metal objects, permanent magnets, and other
sources of magnetic interference such as electric
motors should be kept away from the compass. We
recommend comparing the compass accuracy to a
known good compass with and without the interfering
object in place to see if it has an effect.
Shipwrecks may interfere with the compass reading
and so the compass function should not be used near
or inside of a shipwreck. Use the same discretion and
training as you would with a traditional compass.
Magnetic declination (also called magnetic variation)
is the difference between magnetic and True North.
This can be compensated in the Compass Setup
menu using the declination setting. The magnetic
declination varies around the world, so it will need to
be readjusted when traveling.
Magnetic inclination (or magnetic dip) is how much
the Earth’s magnetic field points up or down. The
Teric’s compass automatically compensates for this
angle. However, in some locations (near the poles) the
inclination angle can exceed 80° (i.e. the magnetic
field points almost directly up or down), in which case
the specified accuracy may not be met.
Check compass calibration before use
Check compass calibration:
1.
Place the Teric on a flat surface
2. Marking a heading
3. Rotate the computer 180 degrees
4. Ensure the compass is pointing at the
reciprocal heading.
See page 71 for compass calibration
instructions.
8.4. Test Alert
The Test Alerts pop-up provides an quick way to ensure
your alerts are working and that you are able to feel
them through your exposure suit.
Use the up and down arrows to select an alert and
press select to test it.
The Test Alerts pop-up should be used regularly if you
use vibration or auditory notifications.
8.2. Tag Log
The tag log feature is useful
for marking a point of interest
in the dive log for later review.
These tags will appear in
the dive log when uploaded
to your phone or personal
computer.
Basic tags titles are available
from the tag log pop-up to
help distinguish tags.
The tag log pop-up will time out after 10 seconds.
8.3. Reset Average Depth
This feature is useful if you you’d like to get a sense of
the average depth of a particular phase of a dive, such
as the bottom, or deco phase. Reset Average depth is
available in every dive mode.

Caution
Although vibration and auditory alerts are
very useful, never rely on them for your
safety. Electromechanical devices can and will
eventually fail.
Always be pro-actively aware of your depth,
no-decompression limit, gas supply, and
other critical dive data. You are ultimately
responsible for your own safety.
When used during a dive
Computes the decompression profile assuming the
ascent will begin immediately. There are no settings to
enter. (RMV is last used value)
Limitations
The Teric Deco Planner is intended for simple dives.
Multi-level dives are not supported.
The Deco Planner does not provide thorough
validation of the profile. For example, it does not
check for nitrogen narcosis limitations, gas usage
limitations, CNS percentage violations, or isobaric
counter-diffusion risks due to sudden helium switches.
The user is responsible for ensuring a safe profile is
followed.
8.5. Deco Planner
Introduction
•
Calculates decompression profiles for simple
dives.
•
Calculates gas consumption based on RMV
•
In closed-circuit (CC) mode, also calculates open-
circuit bail-out (BO)
The Teric’s deco planner is best suited to
decompression diving. For no-decompression diving,
use the quick NDL Planner described on page 43.
Setup
Uses the current gases programmed into the Teric in
the current dive mode, as well as the current GF low/
high settings. Deco profile is computed for the current
Dive mode (CC or OC).
When used on the surface
Enter the expected surface
interval, bottom depth, bottom
time, respiratory minute
volume (RMV) and Set Point
(closed-circuit only).
Note: Residual tissue loading
(and CNS%) from
recent dives will be used in
calculating the profile
When the correct values are
entered, select “Run Plan”
and confirm decompression
settings and starting CNS.
Important!
The Teric’s Deco Planner makes the following
assumptions:
•
Descent rate is 60ft/min (18m/min) and
the ascent rate is 33ft/min (10m/min).
•
For OC, the gas in use will be the gas with
the highest PPO2 within the PPO2 limits.
•
For CC, the diluent in use will be the gas
with the highest PPO2 within PPO2 limits.
•
The planner will use the configured last
stop depth.
•
For CC, the PPO2 is constant for the entire
dive.
•
The RMV is the same while diving as
during deco

9. Air Integration (AI)
The Teric is equipped with dual transmitter air
integration capability.
This section covers operation of the AI feature.
Note, AI features are not yet available in the EU.
AI Features
•
Wireless pressure monitoring of 1 or 2 scuba tanks
•
Units in PSI or BAR
•
Optional Gas Time Remaining (GTR) and Surface
Air Consumption (SAC) rate based on one tank.
•
Logging of pressure, GTR and SAC
•
Reserve and critical gas pressure warnings.
•
Can be used to monitor rebreather O2 and diluent
9.1. What is AI?
AI stands for Air Integration. On the Teric, this refers
to a system that uses wireless transmitters to measure
the gas pressure in a scuba tank and transmit this
information to the Teric dive watch for display and
logging.
Data is transmitted using low-frequency (38kHz) radio
frequency communications. A receiver in the Teric
accepts this data and formats it for display.
The communication is one-way. The transmitter sends
data to the Teric, but the watch does not send any
data to the transmitter.
Although the feature is named “Air” Integration,
other gas mixtures can be used with the system as
well. When using gas mixtures with oxygen content
above 40%, be sure to have proper training on such
mixtures, and follow proper cleaning and material
compatibility guidelines.
Use a backup analog SPG
Always use a backup analog
submersible pressure gauge
as a redundant source of gas
pressure information.
Transmitter is not O2 Clean
The transmitters sold with Shearwater branding are
not shipped O2 clean and may only be used with gas
mixtures up to 40% O2.
Compatible O2 clean transmitters are sold by other
vendors.
9.2. Basic AI Setup
This section will get you started with the basics
of AI on the Teric. Advanced setup and detailed
descriptions will be covered in later sections.
Install the Transmitter
Before using the AI system, you will need to install
one or more transmitters on a scuba tank first stage
regulator.
The transmitter must be installed on a first stage
port labeled “HP” (high pressure). Use a first stage
regulator with at least two HP ports, so that a backup
analog submersible pressure gauge (SPG)can be
used.
Position the transmitter such that it is on the same
side of your body as you wear your Teric handset
(FIGURE 5). Range is limited to approximately 3 ft (1 m).
A high-pressure hose may be used to relocate the
transmitter for better reception or convenience. Use
hoses rated for a working pressure of 4500 PSI (300
Bar) or higher.
Range
3 ft (1 m)
Range
3 ft (1 m)
Use a wrench (11/16” or 17mm) to
tighten or loosen the transmitter
Avoid hand tightening or
loosening, as this can stress the
body of the transmitter.
A backup SPG is recommended
Install transmitter on 1st stage HP port
Install transmitter on the same side of your body as the handset�
Range is approximately 3 feet (1 m)�
Turn on the Transmitter
Turn on the transmitter by opening the tank valve. The
transmitter will automatically wake up when it detects
pressure.
Pressure data is transmitted every 5 seconds.
Turn off the Transmitter
To turn off the transmitter, close the tank valve and
purge the second stage regulator to drain pressure
from the hoses. The transmitter will automatically
power down after 2 minutes of no applied pressure.
Leave the valve open and the transmitter on for now.
Enable AI on the Teric
On the Teric, navigate to the Settings > AI menu
Change the AI Mode setting to T1 (Tank 1). The AI is
now on.
Pair the Transmitter
Each transmitter has a unique serial number etched
on its body. All communications are coded with this
number so that the source of each pressure reading
can be identified.

Pairing the transmitter is done by going to the T1
Setup menu option. Enter the 6-digit serial number
into the T1 Serial # setting. You only need to set this
once, as it will be permanently saved in the settings
memory.
More information about settings in the T1 & T2
Settings menu can be found on page 70.
Check that your tank valve is open
Always take a few breaths from your regulator or purge your
regulator’s second stage while monitoring your tank pressure
for a full 10-15 seconds prior to entering the water to ensure
your tank valve is turned on.
If the first stage regulator is charged but the tank valve
has been closed, the breathing gas available to the diver
will decrease rapidly and within a few breaths the diver will
face an “out of air“ situation. Unlike an analog gauge, the
air pressure reported on the Teric will only update every
5 seconds, so the pressure reported by the Teric must be
monitored for longer than that (we suggest 10-15 seconds) to
ensure the tank valve is open.
Including a regulator purge test followed by 10-15 seconds of
air pressure monitoring before entering the water as part of
your pre-dive safety check is a good way to mitigate this risk.
Add an AI display to the home screen
AI information is automatically displayed as an info
screen when the AI feature is enabled, however,
the main screen will not show AI information until
manually added.
In OC Rec mode, when using the Big layout, the

On the surface, the average SAC from the last dive is
displayed.
GTR Display
The Gas Time Remaining display shows the time, in
minutes, that you could stay at the current depth until
a direct ascent to the surface at a speed of 33 feet/
min (10 m/min) would result in surfacing with the
reserve gas pressure remaining.
The Value is displayed in yellow when less than or
equal to 5 minutes . The value is displayed in red when
less than or equal to 2 minutes.
GTR can only be based on a single tank. The title
indicates which transmitter (T1 or T2) is being used
for the GTR and SAC calculations in a dark gray font.
When on the surface, the GTR displays “---”. GTR is
not shown when decompression stops are needed,
and will display “deco”.
SAC data from the first 30 seconds of each dive is
discarded. It then takes an additional few minutes to
calculate the average SAC. Therefore, for the first few
minutes of each dive, the GTR will display “wait”, until
enough data has been collected to begin making GTR
predictions.
More information on how GTR is calculated can be
found in the GTR calculations section on page 51.

On surface, SAC is average from last dive
The average SAC from your last dive is shown
when on the surface. When a dive ends, you may
notice the SAC value suddenly changes. This is
because the SAC display changes from showing

9.4. Using Multiple Transmitters
When using multiple transmitters, best reception
reliability will be attained when using transmitters of
different colors.
The different colors have different transmit timing.
This prevents communication collisions that could
potentially cause a loss of connection.
When two transmitters of the same color are used,
the potential exists for their communication timing
to become synchronized. When this occurs, the
transmitters will interfere with each other, resulting in
data dropouts. These dropouts may resolve quickly or
could last up to 20 minutes or more.
By using different colored transmitters, the transmit
timing periods are different enough that collisions due
to synchronized communications will resolve quickly.
Shearwater sells standard gray transmitters, and also
yellow transmitters with alternate transmit timing.
Using Multiple Transmitters of Same Color
May Result in Lost Communications
Use different colored transmitters when using more than one
transmitter (see above).
When using more than one transmitter, use one
gray and one yellow for best reliability

9.5. SAC calculations
Surface Air Consumption (SAC) is the rate of change
of tank pressure, normalized as if at 1 atmosphere of
pressure. The units are either PSI/minute or Bar/minute.
The Teric calculates SAC averaged over the last two
minutes. The data from the first 30 seconds of a dive
are discarded to ignore the extra gas that is typically
used during this time (inflating BCD, wing, or dry suit).
SAC vs RMV
Since SAC is simply based on rate of tank pressure
change, the calculations do not need to know the
tank size. However, this means that the SAC is NOT
transferable to tanks of a different size.
Contrast this to respiratory minute volume (RMV)
which is the volume of gas your lungs experience
per minute, measured in Cuft/min or L/min. The
RMV describes your personal breathing rate, and is
therefore independent of tank size.
Why SAC instead of RMV?
Since RMV has the desirable property of being
transferable between tanks of different sizes, it
seems to be the better choice on which to base GTR
calculations. However, the main drawback of using
RMV is that it requires setting up tank size correctly for
each tank. Such setup is easy to forget and is also easy
to setup incorrectly.
SAC has the great property of not requiring any setup,
making it the simplest and most reliable choice. The
drawback is that it is not transferable between tanks of
different sizes.
SAC Formula
The SAC is calculated as follows:
The time samples are taken 2 minutes apart, and Pamb,ATA
is the average ambient pressure (i.e. depth) over this
time frame.
Since the Teric displays and logs SAC, the formula for
calculating RMV from SAC is useful. Knowing your
RMV can help with planning dives using tanks of
various sizes.
Calculating RMV from SAC - Imperial units
In the imperial system, tank sizes are described using
two values; capacity in Cuft at a rated pressure in PSI.
For example, a common tank size is 80 Cuft at 3000
PSI.
To convert SAC in [PSI/minute] to RMV in [Cuft/
minute], calculate how many Cuft are stored per PSI,
then multiply this by the SAC to get RMV.
For example, a SAC of 23 PSI/min with an 80 Cuft
3000 PSI tank would be an RMV of (23 x (80/3000))
= 0.61 Cuft/min.
Calculating RMV from SAC - Metric units
In the metric system, tank sizes are described using
a single number, the tank’s physical size in liters [L].
This is how much gas could be stored at a pressure of
1 Bar, so effectively the units of tank size are [L/Bar].
This makes converting SAC to RMV easy. When using
metric units, simply multiply the SAC by tank size.
For example, a SAC of 2.1 Bar/min with a 10 L tank
would be an RMV of (2.1 x 10) = 21 L/min.

9.6. GTR calculations
Gas Time Remaining (GTR) is the time in minutes that
can be spent at the current depth until a direct ascent
to the surface at a rate of 33 feet/min (10 m/min) would
result in surfacing with the reserve pressure. This is
calculated using the current SAC value.
Safety stops and decompression stops are not
considered by the GTR calculations.
To calculate GTR, start with the known tank pressure,
Ptank. The remaining gas pressure, Premaining, is determined
by subtracting off the reserve pressure and the pressure
used for the ascent.
Premaining = Ptank - Preserve - Pascent , all tank pressures in [PSI] or [Bar]
Knowing Premaining, divide this by the SAC adjusted to the
current ambient pressure to get GTR in minutes.
GTR = Premaining / (SAC x Pamb,ATA)
Why aren’t safety stops included?
Safety stops aren’t included to simplify the meaning of
GTR, and make it consistent across operating modes
that do not include safety stops.
Managing enough gas for a safety stop is quite simple,
especially since they require a relatively small amount of
gas. For example, consider if your SAC was 20 PSI/min
(1.4 Bar/min). At a depth of 15ft/4.5m, the pressure is
1.45 ATA. So a 3 minute safety stop would use 20 x 1.45
x 3 = 87 PSI (6.1 Bar) of gas. This small amount of gas is
easy to factor into the reserve pressure setting.
Why is GTR limited to one tank and no deco?
Currently, Shearwater does not believe that GTR is the
proper tool for decompression dives, especially those
involving multiple gases. This isn’t to say AI in general
is not a good fit for all technical diving, but the GTR
function becomes increasingly complex to manage
and understand when multiple gases are used. For
one, if multiple gases are used, then tank sizes must be
correctly entered. This is a very easy step to forget, and
will lead to incorrect GTR values. Multiple gas diving also
requires further setup of associating each transmitter
to a specific gas mixture, which besides being another
setup to forget, gets complicated with corner cases such
as having multiple tanks containing the same mixture.
Further handling other situations such as only a sub-
set of the used tanks with transmitters add complexity
and potential for user misunderstandings. Overall, the
extra complexity of menus and setup burden on the
user would result in a system prone to mistakes and
accidental misuse, and not fitting with Shearwater’s
design philosophies.
Gas management is an incredibly important and
also complex activity, especially for technical
diving. Education, training, and planning are critical
for proper gas management for technical dives.
Shearwater feels that a convenience feature such as
GTR is not a good application of technology in this
case, as its complexity and potential for misuse would
outweigh its utility.
No compensation for ideal gas law deviations
Note that all SAC and GTR calculations assume that
the ideal gas law is valid. This is a good approximation
up to about 3000 PSI (207 Bar). Above this pressure,
the change in gas compressibility as pressure
increases becomes a noticeable factor. This is mainly
an issue for European divers using 300 Bar cylinders.
The end result is early in the dive, when pressures are
above 3000 PSI/207 bar, the SAC is over-estimated,
resulting in under-estimation of GTR (although this
is the good way to err, as it is more conservative).
As the dive progresses and pressure drops, this
problem rectifies itself and the numbers become more
accurate.
10. Watch Mode

Stopwatch
The Stopwatch is universal throughout the Teric. A
stopwatch started in watch mode will continue in any
diving mode until it is stopped.
The stopwatch appears on the home screen by default
in gauge and Freedive mode, but any dive mode can
be customized to include it.
The stopwatch has a 10 millisecond resolution and will
run for up to 24 hours in the background, even if the
Teric is “turned off”.
When non-zero, the stopwatch can be reset. If running
when reset, it continues running, counting up again
from 0. If stopped when reset, then it is set 0 and
remains stopped.

11. Menus
Menus perform actions and allow settings to be
changed.
All menus show button hints allowing easy navigation.
If no buttons are pushed for 1 minute, the menu
system will time-out, returning to the main screen.
Anything that had been previously saved will be
retained. Anything that was in the middle of editing
will be discarded.
11.1. Main Menu
All Teric Menus can be accessed
from the main menu which can be
brought up on any home screen by
pressing the menu button.
Main menu items differ
substantially by mode, as well as at
the surface versus on a dive. The
most commonly used menu items
are placed at the top of the main
menu to reduce button presses.
Main menu items are listed to the right by mode in the
order they appear. In the following section each item
will be covered in detail.
Note: Items in blue cells are only available at the
surface.
Adaptive Menus
Only menus necessary for the current mode
are shown. This keeps operation simple,
prevents mistakes, and reduces buttons

Switch to CC/BO
Depending on the current computer
setting, this selection will show as
either “CC >> BO” or “BO >> CC”.
Selecting this menu item will toggle
the Teric to the displayed mode for
decompression calculations. When
switching to Bail Out while diving,
the most appropriate Bail Out gas
will become the breathing gas for
calculations.
At this point, the diver may want to switch to a
different gas, but since the diver may have other
things to deal with, the computer will make a “best
guess” of which gas the diver would choose.
Switch Set point (SP 0.7 >> 1.3)
CC mode calculates decompression
for an unconnected rebreather. Set
points are switched in the
computer to approximate the
rebreather set point.
During a dive the Switch Set
point menu item will be the first
item displayed in the main menu,
since the “Watch” displays are
disabled when diving.
Pressing SELECT when this menu item is displayed
changes the PPO2 set point from the low set point to
the high set point or vice-versa. To redefine the PPO2
value of a set point, use Main Menu > Set points.
The switch set point menu item performs a manual
switching of the PPO2 set point. In the Set Points
menu, the Teric can be setup to automatically perform
set point switches at programmable depths. However,
the Switch set point menu item is always available in
CC mode to provide manual control.

The Teric CC/BO system maintains two sets of gases -
one for open circuit and one for closed circuit.
The way they operate is very similar to the way car
radios work with AM and FM stations.
When you are listening to an FM station and you push
a station selection button, it will take you to another
FM station. If you add a new station, it will be an FM
station.
Similarly, if you are in the AM mode, adding or
deleting a station would add or delete an AM station.
With radio station gases, when you are in open
circuit, adding, deleting or selecting a gas will refer
to an open circuit gas. Just like the FM stations are
selected when your radio is in FM mode, the closed
circuit gases are available in the closed circuit mode.
When you switch to open circuit, the gases available
will be open circuit gases.
The Edit gas function allows you
to set up 5 gases for each of the
4 SCUBA modes:
•
OC Rec
•
OC Tec
•
CC/BO
•
Bailout
You must be in the mode you
plan to use to edit gases for that
mode.
For each gas, you can select
the percentage of oxygen and
helium in the gas. The remainder
is assumed to be nitrogen.
In OC Rec mode, only oxygen
fraction can be edited. Trimix is
unavailable in OC Rec mode.
Scroll through the gas list using the arrow keys and
select the gas you wish to edit. The gas contents are
edited one digit at a time. The yellow box shows the
digit being edited.
Note: The “Act” denotes the active gas. You cannot
delete the active gas. If you try, it will generate an
error. You can edit it, but cannot set both the O2 and
HE to 00.
Set Points
The Set Points menu is available in CC and BO mode
on the surface and while diving. This menu allows you
to define the high and low set point.
Values from 0.4 to 1.5 are allowed.

and want to access surface only features of the Teric
quickly following a dive.
12. Settings Reference
The Settings menu can be
accessed from the Teric’s main
menu when at the surface.
Dive Mode
There are 5 available dive
modes:
•
OC Tec
•
OC Rec (default)
•
CC/BO
•
Gauge
(e.g. bottom timer mode)
•
Freedive
When changing to or from Gauge or Freedive mode,
the decompression tissues are cleared. This is because
when in these modes the Teric does not know what
gas you are breathing, and therefore cannot track
inert gas loading. Plan repetitive dives accordingly.
For more information on which mode to choose, see
Dive Mode Differentiation on page 10.

Water type (salinity) affects how the measured
pressure is converted to depth. Settings:
•
Fresh
•
EN13319
•
Salt
Density of freshwater and saltwater differ by about
3%. Saltwater, being denser, will display a shallower
depth for the same measured pressure versus the
Fresh setting.
The EN13319 value is between Fresh and Salt. It is
from the European CE standard for dive computers,
and is the Teric’s default value.
End Dive delay
Sets the time in to wait after surfacing before ending
the current dive.
This value can be set from 10 seconds to 10 minutes.
Default is 10 seconds.
This value can be set to a longer time if you want brief
surface intervals connected together into one dive.
Some instructors use a longer end dive delay when
teaching courses. Alternatively, a shorter time can be
used to exit dive mode more quickly upon surfacing.
Log Rate
Sets how often dive samples are added to the Teric’s
log. More samples will give a higher resolution dive
log at the expense of log memory.
Default log rate in Freediving mode is 1 second. 10
seconds in every other mode.
Maximum log rate in freedive mode is 1/4 second.
Maximum log rate in all other modes is 2 seconds.
Alerts
These settings allow you to modify your notifications
settings for warnings and dive events.
There are 4 settings:
•
Visual only
•
Beep
•
Vibrate
•
Beep & Vibrate
This setting applies to all alerts in every mode. It is
the same alerts item found in the main menu of every
mode.
For more information on the different types of alerts
see the Alerts section on page 22.
For a list of alerts you might encounter see the Alert
and Information Displays section on page 81.
This section allows changing of PPO2 limits.
All values are in absolute atmospheres [ATA] of
pressure
(1 ATA = 1.013 Bar)
OC Low PPO2
PPO2 displays in flashing red when less than this
value.
(Default 0.19)
OC MOD. PPO2
PPO2 displays in flashing red when greater than this
value on the bottom phase of the dive. (Default 1.4)
OC Deco. PPO2
The decompression predictions (TTS and NDL) will
assume that the gas in use at a given depth is the gas
with the highest PPO2 that is less than or equal to this
value. Also, the suggested gas switches (when the
current gas is displayed in yellow) are determined by
this value. If you change this value, please understand
its effect. For example, if lowered to 1.50, then oxygen
(99/00) will not be assumed at 20ft/6m. (Default 1.61)
PPO2 displays in flashing red when greater than this
value during the deco phase of the dive (within 25ft /
7.6 m. of the next deco stop).
CC Low PPO2
PPO2 displays in flashing red when less than this
value.
(Default 0.40)
CC High PPO2
PPO2 displays in flashing red when greater than this
value.
(Default 1.60)
Reset Limits
Resets all PPO2 limits for this dive mode back to
defaults.
Note: In both OC and CC mode, a “Low PPO2” or
“High PPO2” alert is displayed when the limits are
violated for more than 30 seconds.
WARNING
Do not change these values unless
you fully understand the effect.
12.2. Deco Menu
Deco Model
Will just show Bühlmann ZHL-16 with gradient factors
model.
GF Conserv.
3 preset conservatism levels are available. In order of
increasing conservatism:
•
Low (45/95)
•
Med (40/85)
•
High (35/75)
Medium conservatism is the default setting for OC
Rec mode.
A custom GF option is also available. When this
option is selected, fields for editing GF Low and GF
High directly will appear in the Deco Menu.
OC Tec and CC/BO modes have a custom default of
30/70.
For a more detailed explanation of the GF algorithm
and the meaning of GF Low and GF High, please refer
to Erik Baker’s excellent articles: Clearing Up The
Confusion About “Deep Stops” and Understanding
M-values. The articles are readily available on the web.
Also see the Decompression and Gradient Factors
section on page 26.
Last Stop
Allows you to choose where to do your last stop.
The choices are 10ft/3m and 20ft/6m. Note that this
setting does not affect decompression. It only makes
the TTS prediction more accurate.
Safety Stops
The Safety Stop setting can be set to the following
values:
Off
3 minutes
4 minutes
5 minutes
Adapt
When using the Adapt setting, a 3 minute safety stop
will be used, unless the dive exceeds 100ft (30m)
or the NDL falls below 5 minutes, in which case a 5
minute safety stop is used.
Clear Counter
By default, the clear counter will count up from zero
once deco has been cleared in OC Tec and CC/BO
modes. It can be turned off here.
OC Rec
The Teric has supports independent, 5 gas lists for OC
Rec, OC Tec, and CC dive modes.
Note that OC Tec mode and BO mode share the same
gas list. Editing one will edit the other.
This is the same as the Edit Gases item found in the
main menu, but is conveniently located along with the
other dive settings.
For a description of how to appropriately set each
gas, please see the Edit Gases section on page 59.
In CC/BO mode, both the CC diluent and BO open
circuit gas lists are directly accessible, eliminating the
need to toggle between the two operating modes to
check gases from the Edit Gases option in the main
menu.
12.4. Set Points
This menu item is only available in CC/BO mode
High & Low Set points
Like the Set Points selection in the main menu, this
menu allows you to edit your High and Low set points.
Auto Set Point switch
SP Auto Up and SP Auto Down are also available in
this menu to set up automatic set point switching.
They can be set up to auto switch up only, down only,
both, or neither.
Use SP Auto Up to set whether the up switch occurs
automatically or manually.
If SP Auto Up is set to “On”, use Auto Up Depth set
the depth at which the auto switch occurs.
The menu options are the same for the down set point
switch.
Example:
Up:
0.7 > 1.3
= Auto, Up Depth = 70 ft.
Down: 1.3 > 0.7
= Auto, Down Depth = 41ft
The dives starts at the 0.7 set point. As you descend
past 70ft, the set point switches “up” to 1.3.
You finish your bottom time, then begin ascending.
When you ascend above 41ft, it switches “down”
to 0.7.
When a switch is set to “Auto”, you can always
manually override the setting at any time during the
dive.
The automatic switches only occur when crossing
the specified depth. Say for example, the switch up
depth is set to 50ft. You start the dive on the low set
point, then as you descend past 50ft, the set point
automatically switches up to high. If at say 80ft you
then manually switch back to the low set point, the
set point will remain low. If you ascend shallower
than 50ft then re-descend deeper than 50ft again,
the automatic set point switch will occur again. The
Teric enforces a 20ft (6m) gap between switch up
and switch down depths to prevent rapid automatic
switching between set points for small depth changes.
The values 0.7 and 1.3 are shown as examples only.
Other values for the low and high set point can be
adjusted in the Dive Setup menu.
OC
BO
CC
All AI settings must be configured on the surface
before a dive, since the settings menu is not
accessible during a dive.
AI Mode
AI Mode is used to completely disable AI, or select
which transmitters are active.
AI Mode Setting
Description
Off
AI sub-system is completely powered
down and consumes no power. When
on, AI increases power consumption
by about 10%.
T1
Transmitter (tank) 1 is enabled.
T2
Transmitter (tank) 2 is enabled.
T1&T2
Both transmitters are enabled.
GTR/SAC
Gas Time Remaining (GTR) is the time in minutes that
can be spent at the current depth and SAC rate until
a direct ascent to the surface at a rate of 33 feet/min
(10 m/min) would result in surfacing with the reserve
pressure. The SAC rate is averaged over the last two
minutes of diving for calculating GTR.
GTR/SAC is only be based on one tank.
GTR/SAC
Setting
Description
Off
GTR is disabled. SAC is also disabled.
T1
Transmitter (tank) 1 is used for GTR
and SAC calculations.
T2
Transmitter (tank) 2 is used for GTR
and SAC calculations.
GTR and SAC displays are described in the AI Displays
section on page 48
Read more about how GTR is calculated on page
52.
Read more about how SAC is calculated on page
51.
Set AI Mode to OFF when AI not in use
Leaving AI enabled when not in use will negatively
impact battery life. When a paired transmitter is not
communicating, the Teric goes into a higher power
scan state. This increases power consumption to about
25% higher than with AI off. Once communications are
established, power drops to about 10% higher than with
AI off.
T1 /T2 Setup
The T1 & T2 menu pages allow setup that is individual
to each transmitter/tank.
Serial Number Setup
Every transmitter has a unique 6-digit serial number.
This number is etched onto the side of the transmitter.
Enter the serial number to pair the transmitter to
T1. This number only needs to be entered once.
Like all settings, it is stored in permanent memory.
Transmitter settings are saved across all dive modes.
Reserve Pressure
Enter the reserve pressure
The valid range is 400 to 2000 PSI (28 to 137 bar).
The reserve pressure setting is used for:
1) Low pressure warnings
2) Gas Time Remaining (GTR) calculations
A yellow “Reserve Pressure” warning will be
generated when the tank pressure falls below this
setting.
A red “Critical Pressure” warning will be generated
when the tank pressure falls below the larger of 300
PSI (21 Bar) or half the reserve pressure.
For example, if reserve pressure is set to 700 PSI, the
critical warning will occur at 350 PSI (700/2). If the
reserve pressure is set to 400 PSI, the critical warning
will occur at 300 PSI.
12.6. Compass
Enable
Disabling the compass will prevent it from being
displayed in the info row. The display refresh rate can
be reduced when the compass is not displayed on the
screen, so disabling the compass allows a sight power
savings (about 10%).
Outer Ring
Toggles the compass outer ring overlay. This can also
be toggled from the compass pop-up. More details
can be found in the compass pop-up section on page
38.
Declination
In most places, a compass does not point towards
True North, but rather to Magnetic North. The
difference in angle between these two directions
is called the magnetic declination (also called
magnetic variation), and varies around the world. The
declination in your location can be found on maps or
by searching on-line.
This setting can be set from -99° to +99°.
If you only need to match an uncompensated
compass, or your navigation is all based on relative
directions, then this setting is not necessary and can
be left at 0°.
Calibration of the compass may be needed if the
accuracy drifts over time or if a permanent magnet
or ferromagnetic metal (e.g. iron or nickel) object is
mounted very close to the Teric. To be calibrated out,
such an object must be mounted with the Teric so
that it moves along with the Teric Display.
Compare the Teric with a known good compass or
fixed references to determine if calibration is needed.
If comparing against fixed references, remember to
consider the local deviation between Magnetic North
and True North (declination).
Calibration is typically not needed when traveling to
different locations. The adjustment needed then is the
True North (declination).
When calibrating, rotate the Teric smoothly through
as many 3D twists and turns as possible in 15
seconds. Keep metal and magnetic objects away
during calibration. The calibration can also be reset
back to the factory values. After calibration, it is
recommended to compare the compass accuracy with
a known good compass or fixed references.
12.7. Display
Depth Units
Configurable to Feet or Meters.
Temp. Units
Configurable to ˚F or ˚C.
Colors
Teric display colors can be changed for added
contrast or visual appeal.
Themes
4 preset color themes are available:
Standard
Sunlight
Night
Predator
In addition to these preset themes, the Teric’s color
scheme can be extensively customized. Choose the
Custom theme option to reveal the customize section
of the colors menu.
Tips for a good compass calibration
•
Stay away from metal objects. For example,
wrist watches, metal desks, boat decks,
desktop computers, etc. can all interfere with
the Earth’s magnetic field.
•
Rotate to as many 3D positions as
possible. Upside down, sideways, on edge,
etc.
•
Compare with another compass (not
a smart phone as those are terrible) to
check your calibration.
Values, Titles, Units, Menu text, and Watch Face colors
can all be customized from this menu.
15 color options are available.

14. Teric Strap
The included Teric strap is a durable stretchy silicone
designed to grip a wet suit or dry suit without sliding
around. Various strap options are available.
15. Charging
The Shearwater Teric charges wirelessly when
mounted on the included dock and on some third
party wireless charges.
The Teric screen rotates 90 degrees for easy viewing
of the time when the Teric is mounted on the charger.
The screen will turn off after 20 seconds to preserve
the long term health of the screen and battery, but
pressing any button will wake up the Teric so the time
can be viewed.
The SUN button will adjust the screen brightness and
the OFF button will turn the screen off.
Dive mode functions are not available while the Teric
is charging.
For extra length, use the included extender strap.
The strap is fastened to the Teric via stainless steel
watch lugs which can be easily removed and replaced
with two standard 1.5mm hex screwdrivers (included).
The Teric is a compatible with most 22mm off the shelf
straps for unlimited customizability.
Warning - Do not over torque lug screws. Once it feels
tight, stop screwing. Over torquing can damage screw
threads.
Additional lug screws are include in the box.
Ensure the Teric is flat against the charging dock for
the fastest, most efficient charge.
If the Teric stops charging and the charger light
begins to flash red, remove and replace the Teric and
charging should resume.
Battery Care
Lithium-ion batteries, such as the one in the Teric,
can be damaged if completely discharged. The
Teric has internal protection which disconnects the
battery before complete discharge occurs. However,
a small amount of self-discharge still occurs, which
can lead to complete discharge and subsequently
battery damaged if stored for long periods without
recharging.
To prevent damage to the battery please do the
following:
1) Fully charge the Teric prior to storage
2) Top up the Teric battery every 6 months
Charging time
The Teric can be charged with any USB wall power
adapter or with a computer. Charging time is
approximately 1.5 hours with Quick Charge enabled.
and 3-4 hours without.
Behavior on Dead battery
Settings
All settings are retained permanently. No loss of
settings occurs if the battery dies.
Clock
The clock (time and date) data will be lost if the Teric
experiences a total loss of power.
Once the battery is charged, you will need to update
the Clock and Date in the Settings > Watch Menu.
The Teric uses a highly accurate quartz crystal for
time keeping. Expected drift is about 1 minute per
month. If you notice drift, it is easily corrected in the
Settings > Watch menu.
Decompression tissue loading
If the battery dies between repetitive dives the
decompression tissue loading will be lost.
Plan repetitive diving accordingly.
When deco tissues are reset, the following are also
reset:
•
Inert gas tissue loadings set to saturated with air
at current atmospheric pressure
•
CNS Oxygen Toxicity set to 0%
•
Surface Interval time set to 0
Charger Positioning
Wireless chargers quickly lose efficiency when
the transmission and receiver coils are not aligned
properly or there is too large an air gap.
Correct positioning
on charger - no gap
Incorrect positioning
on charger - air gap
Follow these guidelines to help solve problems with
the Teric.

16.2. AI Connection problems
If you are seeing “No Comms” errors, follow these
steps:
If the “No Comms” is persistent:
Check that the proper serial number is entered into
the AI SetupT1/T2 Setup menu.
Ensure the transmitter is turned on, by connecting
it to a first stage and turning on the tank valve.
Applying high pressure > 50 PSI (3.5 Bar) is the only
way to turn on the transmitter. The transmitter will
power off after 2 minutes of no pressure.
Bring the handset within range (3ft / 1m) of the
transmitter. Having the transmitter too close (less than
2 inches / 5 cm) can also cause communication loss.
If the “No Comms” is intermittent:
Search for sources of radio frequency (RF)
interference, such as HID lights, scooters, or photo
flashes. Try eliminating such sources to see if this
solves the connection problem.
•
Check the distance from transmitter to handset.
If range related dropouts are occurring during
diving, locating the transmitter on short length
of high pressure hose is possible to decrease the
transmitter to handset distance.

17. Storage and Maintenance
The Teric dive computer and transmitter should be
stored dry and clean.
Do not allow salt deposits to build up on your dive
computer. Rinse your computer with fresh water to
remove salt and other contaminants.
Do not wash under high pressure jets of water as it
may cause damage to the depth sensor.
Do not use detergents or other cleaning chemicals
as they may damage the dive computer. Allow to dry
naturally before storing.
Store the dive computer and transmitter out of direct
sunlight in a cool, dry and dust free environment.
Avoid exposure to direct ultra-violet radiation and
radiant heat.
17.1. Transmitter Battery
Replacement
Transmitter battery type is 3V Lithium CR2.
1.
Loosen the cap by turning counter-clockwise with
a coin.
2. Remove old battery and discard according to local
regulations on lithium batteries.
3. Install the new battery, positive end first.
4. Replace the o-ring (size AS568-016, nitrile A70)
and lightly lubricate it with a silicone grease. When
installing the o-ring, roll it over the lip from the
coin slot side. Do not roll it over the threads.
5. Install the battery cap by turning clockwise. Start
slowly to avoid cross-threading the cap. The cap
should be flush with the case when properly
installed.
18. Servicing
There are no user serviceable parts inside the Teric or
transmitters. Do not tighten or remove the faceplate
screws. Clean with water ONLY. Any solvents may
damage the Teric dive computer.
Service of the Shearwater Teric may only be done
at Shearwater Research, or by any of our authorized
service centers.
Contact [email protected] for service requests.
Evidence of tampering will void your warranty!
Glossary
CC - Closed circuit. Scuba diving using a rebreather
where exhaled gas is recirculated with carbon dioxide
removed.
GTR - Gas Time Remaining. The time, in minutes, that
can be spent at the current depth and SAC rate until a
direct ascent to the surface would result in surfacing
with the reserve tank pressure.
NDL - No Decompression Limit. The time, in
minutes, that can be spent at the current depth until
mandatory decompression stops will be required.
O2 - Oxygen gas.
OC - Open circuit. Scuba diving where gas is exhaled
into the water (i.e. most diving).
PPO2 - Partial Pressure of Oxygen, sometimes PPO2.
RMV - Respiratory Minute Volume. Gas usage rate
measured as the volume of gas consumed, adjusted
as if at a pressure of one atmosphere. Units of Cuft/
minute or L/minute.
SAC - Surface Air Consumption. Gas usage rate
measured as the rate of tank pressure change,
adjusted as if at a pressure of one atmosphere (i.e.
surface pressure). Units of PSI/minute or Bar/minute.
