6.The Monitor 3 Air is designed for dives made with compressed air only. Do not use the Monitor 3 Air for dives made with nitrox or other mixed gases.
7.All divers using dive computers to plan dives and indicate or determine
8.If the Monitor 3 Air fails at any time during the dive, the dive must be terminated and appropriate proce- dures (including a slow ascent and a 3 to 5 minute safety stop) should be initiated immediately.
9.On any given dive, all divers in a buddy group must follow the most conservative dive computer for that particular dive.
10.No dive computer can account for dives made without it. Do not dive for a period of at least 24 hours before starting a dive series with the Monitor 3 Air,
11.You MUST follow the ascent rates as indicated by the Monitor 3 Air. If the computer fails, ascend to surface no faster than 60 ft/min (18 m/min).
12.You MUST be familiar with all signs and symptoms of DCS before using the Monitor 3 Air! Seek IMMEDIATE treatment for decompression sickness should any of these signs or symptoms occur after a dive! There is a direct correlation between effective treatment and the delay between the onset of symptoms and the treat- ment for decompression sickness.
13.Always observe the optical alarm signals of the Monitor 3 Air. Avoid situations of increased risk for DCS which are marked with a warning sign in this manual.
14.Never dive the Monitor 3 Air to its limits, as well as other dive computers and tables. Give yourself a margin of safety by always leaving a few minutes of no- stop time before making an ascent.
15.Avoid repeated ascent and descents
16.DO NOT perform repetitive decompression dives. Doing so increases the risk of DCS.
17.Carefully inspect your Monitor 3 Air computer for any signs of damage or malfunction before every dive.
