SUUNTO FAVOR S - Manual (Page 29)

The SLOW warning alternates with the current depth. The SLOW warning is an indication that the maximum ascent rate has
been exceeded continuously, whereas the ascent rate indicator shows present ascent speed.
Whenever the SLOW warning appears, you should immediately slow down or stop your ascent until the warning disappears.
You must not ascend shallower than 3 m [10 ft] with the SLOW warning on. If you reach this depth with SLOW on, you must
stop at this depth and wait until the warning disappears.
WARNING!
RAPID ASCENTS INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY! Do not exceed the maximum recommended ascent rate.
You must never surface with the SLOW warning on. If you do this, the warning will continue to flash until the unit deacti-
vates itself in the normal manner. This may take up to 40 hours.
WARNING!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DIVE FOLLOWING A SURFACE INTERVAL DURING WHICH THE SLOW INDICATOR
REMAINS ACTIVATED! Violation of the maximum ascent rate may invalidate the calculations for the next dive.
NOTE: SUUNTO highly recommends a safety stop at the end of every dive in the range of 3 m - 6 m [10 ft - 20 ft] for
3 - 5 minutes.
