WARNING

READ THIS MANUAL! Carefully read this manual in its entirety, paying

 

close attention to all the warnings listed below, including Section 5.

 

BEFORE DIVING. Make sure that you fully understand the use,

 

displays and limitations of the dive computer, because any confusion

 

resulting from neglecting to follow this user's manual or from improper

 

use of this device could cause you to commit errors that may lead to

 

serious injury or death.

WARNING

NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE! Suunto dive computers are

 

intended for recreational use only. The demands of commercial or

 

professional diving may expose the diver to depths and conditions

 

that tend to increase the risk of decompression illness (DCI).

 

Therefore, Suunto strongly recommends that the device is not used

 

for any commercial or professional diving activities.

WARNING

ONLY DIVERS TRAINED IN THE PROPER USE OF SCUBA DIVING

 

EQUIPMENT SHOULD USE A DIVE COMPUTER! No dive computer

 

can replace the need for proper dive training. Insufficient or improper

 

training may cause you to commit errors that may lead to serious

 

injury or death.

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 CAN PREVENT

 

THE POSSIBILITY OF DCI OR OXYGEN TOXICITY! An individual’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 precaution, 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
