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

9 tissue compartments

Tissue compartment halftimes: 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 120, 240, and 480 minutes
(on gassing). The off gassing halftimes are slowed down

Helium halftimes:1, 2, 3.5, 7.5, 15, 30, 45, 90, 181 minutes (on gassing). The off
gassing halftimes are slowed down.

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.

Battery:

One 3 V lithium battery: CR 2450

Battery storage time (shelf life): Up to three years

Replacement: Every three years, or more often depending on dive activity

Life expectancy at 20°C/68°F:

100 dives/year –>1 year
