SUUNTO FAVOR S - Manual (Page 31)

The permanent ERROR MODE is shown by a non-blinking Er in the center display. Once in ERROR MODE, the dive
computer will continue to display current depth and dive time. You should immediately ascend to a depth of 3 to 6 m [10 to
20 ft] and remain at this depth until air supply limitations require you to surface. When the surface has been reached, no
further diving or flying should take place for a minimum of two days.
3.3.5 Decompression dives
WARNING!
DO NOT USE THIS INSTRUMENT TO CONDUCT DECOMPRESSION DIVES! Suunto does not recommend this
instrument to be used to conduct decompression dives. However, if through carelessness or emergency a diver is forced
to exceed the no-decompression limits on a dive, the dive computer will provide decompression information required
for ascent. After this the instrument will continue to provide subsequent interval and repetitive dive information.
Rather than requiring you to make stops at fixed depths, the dive computer permits you to decompress within a range of
depths.
BACKGROUND
When your NO DEC TIME becomes zero, your dive becomes a decompression dive, i.e. you must perform one or several
decompression stops on your way to the surface. The NO DEC TIME on your display will be replaced by a flashing notation
CEILING/ ASC TIME (Fig. 3.13).
