The Personal Adjustment Mode is indicated by a diver symbol and plus signs (P0 =
a diver, P1 = diver +, or P2 = diver ++). Section 4.3.1.1. “Altitude Adjustment and
Personal Adjustment Setting” describes how the Personal Mode is adjusted.
This feature should be used to adjust the computer to be more conservative,
according to personal preference, by entering the suitable Personal Adjustment
Mode with the help of Table 3.4. In ideal conditions, retain the default setting, P0.
If conditions are more diffi cult or other mentioned factors which tend to increase
the possibility of DCS exist, select P1 or even the most conservative P2. As a
result the dive computer adjusts its mathematical model according to the entered
Personal Adjustment Mode, giving shorter no-decompression times (see section
6.1. “Operating Principles”, Table 6.1 and 6.2).
WARNING!
SET THE CORRECT PERSONAL ADJUSTMENT MODE! You should use
this option to make the calculations more conservative, whenever it is believed
that factors, which tend to increase the possibility of DCS exist. Failure to
properly select the Personal Adjustment Mode correctly will result in errone-
ous data and can greatly increase the risk of DCS.
WARNING!
THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK OF DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS FOR ANY
DIVE PROFILE EVEN IF YOU FOLLOW THE DIVE PLAN PRESCRIBED
BY DIVE TABLES OR A DIVE COMPUTER. You are advised to remain well
within the exposure limits provided by the instrument to minimize the risk of
DCS. Decompression sickness can cause serious injury or death.
