Before you go on to read the manual itself, it is extremely important that you read the fol- lowing warnings. These warnings are intended to maximize your safety while using Suunto HelO2 and must not be ignored.

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 inten-

 

ded for recreational use only. The demands of commercial or profes-

 

sional 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 re-

 

main 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 CALCULATED BY THE COMPUTER BASED ON THE SE-

 

LECTED O2% AND A MAXIMUM PO2 OF 1.4 BAR!
