SUUNTO DX - Manual (Page 66)

5.10.1. DIVE mode activation
Unless the DIVE mode is set OFF, the dive computer activates automatically when
submerged deeper than 0.5 m/1.5 ft. However, it is necessary to activate the DIVE
mode BEFORE diving to check the cylinder pressure, altitude and personal ad-
justment settings, battery condition, oxygen settings, and so on.
After activation, all graphical display elements are turned ON, and the backlight and
the beep are activated. After this, the selected altitude and personal settings are dis-
played along with the maximum operating depth (MOD), O
2
% or O
2
%/He and the PO
2
values. During a dive series (between two consecutive dives) the dive computer also
displays the current tissue saturation graph. A few seconds later the battery power
indicator is shown and the dive computer enters surface mode.
WARNING
SUUNTO STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT SPORT DIVERS
LIMIT THEIR MAXIMUM DEPTH TO 40 M /130 FT OR TO THE
DEPTH CALCULATED BY THE COMPUTER BASED ON THE
SELECTED O
2
% AND A MAXIMUM PO
2
OF 1.4 BAR! Exposure
to greater depths increases the risk of oxygen toxicity and decom-
pression sickness.
