PERSONAL/HIGH ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT
More information about this is given in Section 3.6, “Personal Adjustment and High Altitude Dives”.
WARNING!
SET THE CORRECT PERSONAL/ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT MODE! When diving at altitudes g reater than 700 m [2300 ft]
the personal/altitude adjustment feature must be correctly selected in order for the computer to calculate no-decompression
status. The diver should also use this option to make the calculation more conservative, whenever it is believed that factors which
tend to increase the possibility of decompression sickness exist (see Section 3.6). Failure to properly select the personal/altitude
adjustment mode correctly will result in er roneous data and can greatly increase the risk of decompression sickness.
WARNING!
THE INSTRUMENT IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE AT ALTITUDES GREATER THAN 2400 m [8000 ft]! Diving at altitudes
above this limit may significantly increase the risk of decompression sickness.
When diving at higher altitudes (above 700 m / 2300 ft), it is essential that the entered altitude mode, i.e. maximum altitude limit
of the dive computer, exceeds or is equal to the altitude of the dive site. The altitude mode indicator must show either A1 or A2,
depending on the altitude. More information about this is given in Section 3.6, “Personal Adjustment and High Altitude Dives”.
