PERSONAL/HIGH ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT
More information about this is given in Section 3.5, “Personal Adjustment and High Altitude Dives”.
WARNING!
SET THE CORRECT PERSONAL/ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT MODE! When diving at altitudes greater 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 3.5). Failure to
properly select the personal/altitude adjustment mode correctly will result in erroneous 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 3.5, “ Personal Adjustment and High Altitude
Dives”.
