Memory capacity: approximately 140 hours of diving with 20 second recording in-
terval (without transmitter data)

Depth resolution: 0.3 m/1 ft

Operating conditions:

Normal altitude range: 0 to 3,000 m/10,000 ft above sea level

Operating temperature: 0°C to 40°C/32°F to 104°F

Storage temperature: -20°C to +50°C/ -4°F to +122°F

It is recommended that the instrument be stored in a dry place at room temperature.

NOTE

Do not leave the dive computer in direct sunlight!

Tissue calculation model:

Suunto Fused RGBM algorithm (developed by Suunto and Bruce R. Wienke, BSc,
MSc, PhD)

15 tissue compartments

Tissue compartment halftimes for nitrogen: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 120, 160, 240,
320, 400, 480, 560 and 720 min. The on-gassing and off-gassing halftimes are the
same.

Tissue compartment halftimes are divided by a constant factor to obtain helium
halftimes.

Reduced gradient (variable) "M" values based on diving habit and dive violations.
The "M" values are tracked up to 100 hours after a dive

The EAN and oxygen exposure calculations are based on recommendations by
R.W. Hamilton, PhD and currently accepted exposure time limit tables and prin-
ciples.
