5.7.1. Connecting Suunto Cobra3 to a regulator

When purchasing the Suunto Cobra3, we strongly recommend that you have your Suunto representative attach it to the first stage of your regulator.

However, if you decide to attach it yourself, follow the steps outlined below:

1.Remove the high pressure (HP) port plug on the first stage of your regulator using an appropriate tool.

2.Thread the high pressure hose of the Suunto Cobra3 into the HP port of your regulator with your fingers. Tighten the hose fitting with a 16 mm (5/8'') wrench. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!

3.Attach the regulator to the scuba cylinder and slowly open the valve. Check for leaks by submerging the regulator first stage in water. If leaks are detected, check the condition of the O-ring and sealing surfaces.

5.8. DIVE mode settings

Suunto Cobra3 has several user-definable functions, as well as depth and time-related alarms that you can set according to your personal preferences. The DIVE mode settings are dependent on the dive submode chosen (AIR, NITROX, GAUGE), so that, for example, nitrox settings are only available in the NITROX submode.

The following figure shows how to enter the DIVE mode settings menu.

	USE UP AND DOWN BUTTONS TO
	TOGGLE BETWEEN DIVE SETTINGS
NOTE	Some settings cannot be changed until 5 minutes has elapsed after
	the dive.
