ASC SPEED, as follows:
Ascent rate indicator Ascent speed
No segments
Below 2.5 m/min
[8 ft/min]
One segment 2.5 - 5.0 m/min
[8 - 16 ft/min]
Two segments 5.0 - 7.5 m/min
[16 - 25 ft/min]
Three segments 7.5 - 10 m/min
[25 - 33 ft/min]
Blinking SLOW Above 10 m/min
and three segments [33 ft/min]
The SLOW warning alternates with the current depth. The SLOW warning is an
indication that the maximum ascent rate has been exceeded.
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 deactivates itself in the normal manner. This may take
up to 48 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.
