5. BEFORE DIVING
Do not attempt to use the dive computer without reading this user's manual in its en- tirety, including all the warnings. Make sure that you fully understand the use, displays, and limitations of the instrument. If you have any questions about the manual or the Suunto D4 please contact your Suunto representative before diving with the dive computer.
Always remember that YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY! When used properly, Suunto D4 is an outstanding tool for assisting properly trained, certified divers in planning and executing sport dives. It is NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CERTIFIED SCUBA INSTRUCTION, including training in the principles of decompres- sion.
WARNING Diving with enriched air mixtures (nitrox) exposes you to risks that are different from those associated with diving with standard air. These risks are not obvious, and require training to understand and avoid. Risks include possible serious injury or death.
Do not attempt to dive with any gas mix other than standard air without first receiving certified training in this specialty.
