in chapter 3.5.3. “Flying After Diving”. There can never be a fl ying after diving
rule that is guaranteed to completely prevent decompression illness!
WARNING!
THE DIVE COMPUTER SHOULD NEVER BE TRADED OR SHARED
BETWEEN USERS WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION! Its information will not
apply to someone who has not been wearing it throughout a dive or sequence
of repetitive dives. Its dive profi les must match that of the user. If it is left on
the surface during any dive, it will give inaccurate information for subsequent
dives. No dive computer can take into account dives made without the computer.
Thus any diving activity up to four days prior to initial use of the computer
may cause misleading information and must be avoided.
WARNING!
THE DIVE COMPUTER WILL NOT ACCEPT FRACTIONAL PERCENT-
AGE VALUES OF OXYGEN CONCENTRATION. DO NOT ROUND UP
FRACTIONAL PERCENTAGES! For example, 31.8% oxygen should be
entered as 31%. Rounding up will cause nitrogen percentages to be understated
and will affect decompression calculations. If there is a desire to adjust the
computer to provide more conservative calculations, use the personal adjust-
ment feature to affect decompression calculations or reduce the PO
2
setting to
affect oxygen exposure.
WARNING!
SET THE CORRECT ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT MODE! When diving at
altitudes greater than 300 m [1000 ft] the Altitude Adjustment feature must
be correctly selected in order for the computer to calculate the decompres-
sion status. The dive computer is not intended for use at altitudes greater than
3000 m [10000 ft]. F ailure to select the correct Altitude Adjustment setting
or diving above the maximum altitude limit will result in erroneous di ve and
planning data.
