==== Using _Subsurface-mobile_:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1) Enter an e-mail address and a password in the fields indicated on the screen.
|
||||||
|
The password should be in lower case and the password should contain a combination of
|
||||||
|
letters from the alphabet (upper and lower case) and/or numbers. When entering a
|
||||||
|
password, it is possible to check a checkbox that enables the text of the password to be shown
|
||||||
|
(image on left, above). At this stage, the red message "Cannot connect to cloud storage" appears on the screen.
|
||||||
|
This is normal because a valid PIN has not yet been provided (image on left, above).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2) Tap the Disk (Save) icon at the bottom of the screen. A PIN is sent to the
|
||||||
|
e-mail address provided.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3) Enter the PIN into the field indicated and tap the _Save_ icon again. The user
|
||||||
|
information is stored on the cloud server and access to the cloud is enabled.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4) The dive list is initially empty. One can now start entering dives in the dive
|
||||||
|
log or one can download existing dives from the cloud.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The text box to enter the PIN is shown whenever the e-mail address field is empty.
|
||||||
|
One can create a new cloud account by clearing the e-mail address and typing a new
|
||||||
|
e-mail address, upon which a new PIN is sent to the newly-provided e-mail address.
|
||||||
|
On the other hand, one can change to a different existing cloud account by providing an
|
||||||
|
e-mail address and password already registered with the cloud server (image on right, above)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once Internet access has been enabled, one can temporarily disable this service when
|
||||||
|
using _Subsurface-mobile_ in areas with no Internet access, e.g. remote dive sites (see below)
