How to change the gain of iX3M / iDive in case the Wireless Transmitter is not working properly during the dive.

Attention
Do not change the gain of the iX3M / iDive if the Wireless Transmitter is working properly.

The default gain of the iX3M / iDive works with most of the scuba diving configuration, environment, and body dimension. But in some cases, you need to change the gain of the iX3M / iDive to let it work properly with the Wireless Transmitter.


To change the gain of the iX3M / iDive follow these steps:

> Connect the iX3M / iDive to the Ratio ToolBox (N.B. not to the DiveLogger) and update your Wireless Transmitter and your iX3M / iDive to the latest OS version available. Ratio ToolBox for Windows, Mac, or Linux is available here.

> Click the "Radio" tab, set the gain of the dive computer and click "save".

> Set the gain on +2 and go diving.
- In case gain +2 does not solve the issue set gain -2 and go diving.
- Go on trying different gain settings (+1, -1, +2, -2, +3, -3, +4, -4, +5, -5, +6, -6) until you find the optimal gain setting for your scuba configuration)




> In case you have other issues with the Wireless Transmitter and your iX3M / iDive check these video tutorials.
