WARNING!
THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK OF DECOMPRESSION ILLNESS (DCI)
FOR ANY DIVE PROFILE EVEN IF YOU FOLLOW THE DIVE PLAN
PRESCRIBED BY DIVE TABLES OR A DIVE COMPUTER. NO
PROCEDURE, DIVE COMPUTER OR DIVE TABLE WILL PRE-
VENT THE POSSIBILITY OF DCI OR OXYGEN TOXICITY! An indi-
vidual’s physiological make up can vary from day to day. The dive
computer cannot account for these variations. You are strongly
advised to remain well within the exposure limits provided by the
instrument to minimize the risk of DCI. As an added measure of safe-
ty, you should consult a physician regarding your fitness before diving.
WARNING!
SUUNTO STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT SPORT DIVERS
LIMIT THEIR MAXIMUM DEPTH TO 40 M [130 FT] OR TO THE
DEPTH CALCULATED BY THE COMPUTER BASED ON THE
SELECTED O
2
% AND A MAXIMUM PO
2
OF 1.4 BAR!
WARNING!
DIVES WITH REQUIRED DECOMPRESSION STOPS ARE NOT
RECOMMENDED. YOU SHOULD ASCEND AND BEGIN DECOM-
PRESSION IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE DIVE COMPUTER SHOWS
YOU THAT A DECOMPRESSION STOP IS REQUIRED! Note the
blinking ASC TIME symbol and the upward pointing arrow.
WARNING!
USE BACK-UP INSTRUMENTS! Make sure that you use back-up
instrumentation including a depth gauge, submersible pressure
gauge, timer or watch, and have access to decompression tables
whenever diving with the dive computer.
WARNING!
PERFORM PRECHECKS! Always activate and check the device be-
fore diving in order to ensure that all Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
segments are completely displayed, that the device has not run out
of battery power, and that the oxygen, altitude and personal adjust-
ments are correct. Also, exit the Data Transfer (TR-PC) mode before
diving, as the computer does not automatically revert to Dive mode
from Data Transfer mode.
