its not a manual, but there are some instructions that may get you to where
you want to go.

1. Read http://www.divedacor.com/safety-recall.html

2. Where the #$%^&!! has Dacor's website gone? All it has is a home page,
the above link, and a "coming soon in 2005" message. Dacor does not seem
to understand the Internet. -- YOU DON'T MAKE THE OLD WEBSITE GO
AWAY UNTIL THE NEW ONE IS READY TO GO ONLINE. Makes me
wonder how much they know about dive computers.

That's why their computers are named Darwin. If you're strong enough you survive
them.

I didnt hear that you had found a solution yet so... Note: this is a
pain in the rear.

1. press the left button till the little indicator moves under the word
'set'
2. when you get there carefully press and hold the left button until it
changes to say 'Set 1'. if you press too hard you will move the
indicator to the right to the 'time' option so use the right button to
move it back to 'set'.
3. keep pressing the left button until you cycle to 'Set 4'
4. press and hold the left button and you'll get a calendar display.
same thing applies as #2 above though.
5. left button cycles through the options, right button changes them

Let me know if you have any other questions. My manual is sitting on the
desk next to me. It took me 10 mins to do this when I first got the
computer.

Anyone know where I can access online the owner's manual for the Dacor
Darwin Nitrox (wrist) computer? There are just two buttons and one
would think I could figure out how to set the date/time...
