WARNING

DIVES THAT REQUIRE DECOMPRESSION STOPS ARE NOT

 

RECOMMENDED. YOU SHOULD ASCEND AND BEGIN

 

DECOMPRESSION 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 PRE-CHECKS! Always activate and check the device

 

before 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, personal, Safety/Deep

 

Stop, and RGBM adjustments are correct.

WARNING

YOU ARE ADVISED TO AVOID FLYING ANY TIME THE COMPUTER

 

COUNTS DOWN THE NO-FLY TIME. ALWAYS ACTIVATE THE

 

COMPUTER TO CHECK THE REMAINING NO-FLY TIME PRIOR

 

TO FLYING! Flying or traveling to a higher altitude within the no-fly

 

time can greatly increase the risk of DCI. Review the recommendations

 

given by Divers Alert Network (DAN) in Section 7.4. Flying after diving.

WARNING

THE DIVE COMPUTER SHOULD NEVER BE TRADED OR SHARED

 

BETWEEN USERS WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION! Its information will

 

not apply to someone who has not been wearing it throughout a dive,

 

or sequence of repetitive dives. Its dive profiles must match that of

 

the user. If it is left on the surface during any dive, the dive computer

 

will give inaccurate information for subsequent dives. No dive

 

computer can take into account dives made without the computer.

 

Thus, any diving activity up to four days prior to initial use of the

 

computer may cause misleading information and must be avoided.

WARNING

DO NOT DIVE WITH A CYLINDER OF ENRICHED AIR IF YOU HAVE

 

NOT PERSONALLY VERIFIED ITS CONTENTS AND ENTERED

 

THE ANALYZED VALUE INTO YOUR DIVE COMPUTER! Failure to

 

verify cylinder contents and enter the appropriate O2% into your dive

 

computer will result in incorrect dive planning information.

WARNING

THE DIVE COMPUTER WILL NOT ACCEPT FRACTIONAL

 

PERCENTAGE 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

 

calculations. If you want to adjust the computer to provide more

 

conservative calculations, use the personal adjustment feature to

 

affect decompression calculations, or reduce the PO2 setting to affect

 

oxygen exposure.
