WARNING

Always make sure to inspect all functions of the watch prior to each dive to prevent malfunction of the watch and accidents caused by use of the watch at improper settings. (Refer to the section entitled, “Cautions Regarding Use During Diving” (p. 17), for information on the inspection procedure.) In particular, always make sure to check whether the watch is sufficiently charged, whether the oxygen concentration (O2%) is set correctly, and whether there are warnings being displayed.

WARNING

Diving when using this watch is limited to recreational diving at a water temperature from +10°C to +40°C (50°F to 104°F).

Do not use this watch for saturation diving using helium gas, diving at a water temperature outside the above temperature range or high-altitude diving at 3,000 m (10,000 ft) above sea level or higher since this can prevent the watch from functioning properly or lead to an accident resulting in danger. In addition, this watch does not display depth properly when used in water other than seawater (specific gravity of 1.025).

WARNING

In order to ensure safe diving, dive while allowing an adequate margin of safety relative to the displayed no-decompression limit time.

WARNING

If decompression diving should happen to occur, immediately start to ascend while observing an ascent rate of no more than 18 m (60 ft)/min.

Since decompression diving is associated with a high risk of decompression sickness, observe the following matters at all times.

Make a decompression stop while ascending in accordance with decompression stop instructions.

When making a decompression stop, never ascend to a depth less than the instructed depth.

Since it is difficult to maintain a constant depth when there are high waves and so forth, make decompression stops at depths a little deeper than the instructed depth

to prevent decompression sickness.

*A permanent error (ERROR) occurs when continuing to dive while ignoring decompression stop instructions during the course of decompression diving, and the watch will not switch to the dive mode for 24 hours after that time.
