•

If a diver had less than 2 hours total accumulated dive time in

the last 48 hours, then a 12 hour surface interval before flying

is recommended.

•

Following any dive that required a decompression stop, flying

should be delayed for at least 24 hours, and if possible, for 48

hours.

•

Suunto recommends that flying is avoided until all the DAN and

UHMS guidelines and the dive computer wait to fly conditions

are satisfied.

3.7. AUDIBLE AND VISUAL ALARMS

The dive computer features audible and visual alarms to advise when

important limits are approached or to acknowledge preset alarms.
A short single beep occurs, when:

•

the dive computer is activated.

•

when the dive computer automatically returns to the TIME

mode.

Three double beeps occur, when:

•

the cylinder pressure reaches 50 bar [725 psi]. The cylinder

pressure display will start to blink (Fig. 3.12.).

•

the cylinder pressure reaches the selected alarm pressure.

•

the calculated remaining air time reaches zero.

Three single beeps with a two second interval and the backlight

activated for 5 seconds occur, when:

•

the no-decompression dive turns into a decompression stop

dive. An arrow pointing upwards and the blinking ascent

warning ASC TIME will appear (Fig. 3.16.).

•

Gas change is prompted

Continuous beeps and the backlight activated for 5 seconds

occur, when:

•

the maximum allowed ascent rate, 10 m/min [33 ft/min], is

exceeded. SLOW and STOP warnings will appear (Fig. 3.13.).

•

the Mandatory Safety Stop ceiling is exceeded. A downward

pointing arrow will appear (Fig. 3.15.).

•

the decompression ceiling depth is exceeded. An error warning

Er and a downward pointing arrow appear. You should

immediately descend to, or below, the ceiling. The instrument

will otherwise enter a permanent Error Mode within three

minutes, indicated by a permanent Er (Fig. 3.19.).
