6. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

6.1 OPERATING PRINCIPLES

The Suunto dive computer is a multi-functional sport diving instrument, which provides information on depths, times and

decompression requirements. Its electronic microprocessor mathematically models the absorption and release of nitrogen

during all phases of diving, including ascents, surface intervals and repetitive dives.

WARNING!

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE INSTRUMENT WITHOUT FIRST READING THE ENTIRE OWNER’S

MANUAL! The dive computer must be activated before diving and operated correctly to provide accurate and correct

information.

NO-DECOMPRESSION LIMITS

The no-decompression limits displayed by the dive computer upon activation are for most dives to a single depth slightly

more conservative than those permitted by the U.S. Navy tables, Tables 6.1-6.2.
