Diving is a potentially dangerous sport. When using this watch for diving, make sure to have a correct understanding of this watch as described in this manual and strictly adhere to the procedures for its operation.
The watch may not function properly if handled in a manner not described in this manual.
General Cautions Regarding Diving
WARNING
In the case of using this watch for diving, always make sure to receive the proper scuba diving training from a certified instructor so that you have the necessary experience and skills required for safe diving. In addition, make sure that you have completely mastered the handling and operation of this watch.
Even though you may only be engaged in recreational diving, any type of diving can be potentially dangerous. Attempting to engage in diving with improper or inadequate training can result in a fatal or serious accident.
WARNING
Never attempt NITROX diving unless you have received special training for NITROX diving.
Although this watch is also compatible with NITROX diving, NITROX diving presents serious or potentially fatal risks unlike ordinary diving using compressed air.
WARNING
Each diver should be responsible for formulating and executing a diving plan to ensure safety that matches his or her own abilities.
The dive computer function of this watch is not designed to completely prevent the occurrence of decompression sickness. In addition, it is unable to monitor differences in the physiological functions of individual divers or differences in physical condition on a particular day. Since physical condition has a considerable effect on the occurrence of decompression sickness, the degree of the risk of decompression sickness varies depending on the physical condition of the diver on that day. It is therefore recommended to avoid diving when physical condition is poor, such as in the case of illness, fatigue, lack of sleep or hangover.
