WARNING!

THE DIVE COMPUTER WILL NOT ACCEPT FRACTIONAL PER-

CENTAGE VALUES OF OXYGEN CONCENTRATION. DO NOT

ROUND UP FRACTIONAL PERCENTAGES! For example, 31.8%

oxygen should be entered as 31%. Rounding up will cause nitrogen

percentages to be understated and will affect decompression calcu-

lations. If there is a desire to adjust the computer to provide more

conservative calculations, use the personal adjustment feature to

affect decompression calculations or reduce the PO

2

setting to affect

oxygen exposure.

WARNING!

SET THE CORRECT ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT MODE! When

diving at altitudes greater than 300 m [1000 ft] the Altitude Adjust-

ment feature must be correctly selected in order for the computer to

calculate the decompression status. The dive computer is not in-

tended for use at altitudes greater than 3000 m [10000 ft]. Failure to

select the correct Altitude Adjustment setting or diving above the

maximum altitude limit will result in erroneous dive and planning

data.

WARNING!

SET THE CORRECT PERSONAL ADJUSTMENT MODE! When-

ever it is believed that factors that tend to increase the possibility

of DCI exist, it is recommended that you use this option to make

the calculations more conservative. Failure to select the correct

Personal Adjustment setting will result in erroneous dive and

planning data.

NOTE!
It is not possible to change between Air, Nitrox and Gauge modes before

the instrument has counted down the no-flying time.
There is one exception to this: You can change from Air to Nitrox mode

even during the no-flying time. When planning both air and nitrox dives

during the same dive series, you should set the instrument in Nitrox

mode and modify the gas mix accordingly.
In Gauge mode, the no-flying time is always 48 hours.
