WARNING!
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED ASCENT RATE!
Rapid ascents increase the risk of injury. You must never surface with the SLOW
warning on. If you do this, the warning will continue to flash in the Surface
Mode until the unit deactivates itself in a normal manner. This may take up to 48
hours.
WARNING!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DIVE FOLLOWING A SURFACE INTERVAL DUR-
ING 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 at least 3 - 5 minutes.
4.3.4 Audible and Visual Alarms
The Spyder features audible and visual alarms to advise when important limits are
approached or to acknowledge preset alarms set by the diver:
Three single beeps with a two second interval, occur when:
the no-decompression dive turns into a decompression dive. An arrow pointing
upwards and the ascent warning CEILING/ASC TIME will appear.
Continuous beeps, occur when:
the maximum allowed ascent rate, 10 m/min [33 ft/min], is exceeded. A blink-
ing SLOW warning will alternate with the depth display.
