WARNING!
USE BACK-UP INSTRUMENTS! Make certain that you use back-up instrumentation including a depth gauge, submersible
pressure gauge, timer or watch, and have access to decompression tables whenever diving with this instrument.
WARNING!
NO DIVE COMPUTER WILL PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS (DCS)! All divers must
understand and accept that there is no procedure or dive computer that will totally prevent the possibility of a decompres-
sion accident. For example, the individual physiological make up can vary within an individual from day to day. The dive
computer cannot account for these variations. As an added measure of safety, you should consult a physician regarding
your fitness before diving. Decompression sickness can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING!
NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE! SUUNTO dive computers are intended for recreational use only. The demands of commer-
cial or professional diving often expose the diver to depths and prolonged exposures including multiday exposures that
tend to increase the risk of decompression sickness. Therefore, Suunto specifically recommends that this instrument is not
used for commercial or other severe diving activity.
