WARNING: SET THE CORRECT PERSONAL SETTING! Whenever it

is believed that factors that tend to increase the possibility of DCS

exist, it is recommended that you use this option to make the

calculations more conservative. Failure to select the correct personal

setting will result in erroneous dive and planning data.

WARNING: DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ASCENT RATE!

Rapid ascents increase the risk of injury. You should always make

the mandatory and recommended safety stops after you have

exceeded the maximum recommended ascent rate. If this

mandatory safety stop is not completed the decompression model

will penalize your next dive(s).

WARNING: YOUR ACTUAL ASCENT TIME MAY BE LONGER THAN

DISPLAYED BY THE INSTRUMENT! The ascent time will increase if

you: (1) remain at depth, (2) ascend slower than 10 m/min (33 ft/

min), (3) make your decompression stop deeper than at the ceiling,

(4) and/or forget to change the used gas mixture. These factors

might also increase the amount of breathing gas required to reach

the surface.

WARNING: NEVER ASCEND ABOVE THE CEILING! You must not

ascend above the ceiling during your decompression. In order to

avoid doing so by accident, you should stay somewhat below the

ceiling.
