SUUNTO Cobra3 - Manual (Page 7)

WARNING DIVES THAT REQUIRE DECOMPRESSION STOPS ARE NOT
RECOMMENDED.
YOU SHOULD ASCEND AND BEGIN
DECOMPRESSION IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE DIVE COMPUTER
SHOWS YOU THAT A DECOMPRESSION STOP IS REQUIRED!
Note the blinking ASC TIME symbol and the upward pointing arrow.
WARNING USE BACK-UP INSTRUMENTS! Make sure that you use back-up
instrumentation, including a depth gauge, submersible pressure gauge,
timer or watch, and have access to decompression tables whenever
diving with the dive computer.
WARNING PERFORM PRE-CHECKS! Always activate and check the device
before diving in order to ensure that all Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
segments are completely displayed, that the device has not run out
of battery power, and that the oxygen, altitude, personal, Safety/Deep
Stop, and RGBM adjustments are correct.
WARNING YOU ARE ADVISED TO AVOID FLYING ANY TIME THE COMPUTER
COUNTS DOWN THE NO-FLY TIME. ALWAYS ACTIVATE THE
COMPUTER TO CHECK THE REMAINING NO-FLY TIME PRIOR
TO FLYING! Flying or traveling to a higher altitude within the no-fly
time can greatly increase the risk of DCI. Review the recommendations
given by Divers Alert Network (DAN) in Section 7.4. Flying after diving.
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 profiles must match that of
the user. If it is left on the surface during any dive, the dive computer
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 DO NOT DIVE WITH A CYLINDER OF ENRICHED AIR IF YOU HAVE
NOT PERSONALLY VERIFIED ITS CONTENTS AND ENTERED
THE ANALYZED VALUE INTO YOUR DIVE COMPUTER! Failure to
verify cylinder contents and enter the appropriate O
2
% into your dive
computer will result in incorrect dive planning information.
WARNING THE DIVE COMPUTER WILL NOT ACCEPT FRACTIONAL
PERCENTAGE 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 you want to adjust the computer to provide more
conservative calculations, use the personal adjustment feature to
affect decompression calculations, or reduce the PO
2
setting to affect
oxygen exposure.
