PERSONAL ADJUSTMENT AND HIGH ALTITUDE
DIVING
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 calcu-
lations 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 DIVE COMPUTER 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.
If you are diving at higher altitudes, make sure that the altitude mode has been set
according to the altitude of your dive site.
For information on how to select the correct altitude setting and how to use the
personal adjustment, see Section 3.5, “Personal Adjustment and High Altitude Dives”.
Fig. 3.4 READY DISPLAYS
The maximum depth and dive time are
zeros (as no dives have yet been made),
the surface interval time is 0 hours 8
minutes (in this case eight minutes after
activation), the temperature is 22°C
[72°F] and the present depth is 0.0 m
[0 ft]. The personal/altitude adjustment
mode is A1. The depth display will
alternate between present and maximum
depth. The Low Battery Warning
(battery symbol) indicates that the
battery is too low for diving.
