Cautions Regarding Use of this Watch

DANGER

Do not use this watch during decompression diving, especially during NITROX diving.

Although this watch will provide data on decompression diving in an emergency, using this watch for decompression diving entails risks. Since decompression diving during NITROX diving in particular is very dangerous, never use this watch under these conditions. Decompression diving during NITROX diving can lead to an accident causing death or serious injury. (The DCIEM algorithm generates a particularly hard error in the case of decompression diving during NITROX diving.)

DANGER

Never loan or share the watch with another person when resting on the surface (while the watch is operating in the surface mode). In addition, do not use the data displayed by the watch as the data for a person other than the user.

This watch is designed on the premise of use by a single user.

Since calculations made by the dive computer based on previous diving are continued to be used during operation in the surface mode, use of the watch by another person can prevent the dive computer from making calculations suitable for the user, resulting in the risk of an accident causing death or serious injury.

DANGER

Avoid traveling in an aircraft while the surface mode is activated.

Traveling in an aircraft without allowing sufficient time to rest after diving results in the risk of decompression sickness. It is recommended to avoid traveling in an aircraft for at least 24 hours after diving whenever possible even if the surface mode is no longer displayed. There are no rules for completely preventing decompression sickness caused by flying in an aircraft after diving.

WARNING

In the case of using this watch for diving, always make sure to also use other backup equipment (including a DCIEM dive table, divers watch, residual pressure gauge and water depth gauge).

Sudden fluctuations in the atmosphere and changes in water temperature may have an effect on the display and performance of the watch. Always make sure to use this watch in combination with other backup instruments in case the watch should happen to malfunction. The dive computer functions of this watch are not intended to completely protect you from decompression sickness and oxygen toxication. Since the watch is only intended to display information to serve as a reference for minimizing the risk of decompression sickness and so forth, it is not intended to completely ensure the safety of the user.
