When programming the instrument for the correct altitude, you need to select the correct Altitude Adjustment settings according to Table 5.5, Altitude Adjustment settings. The dive computer will adjust its mathematical model according to the entered altitude setting, giving shorter no-decompression times at higher altitudes (see Table 10.1, No-decompression time limits for various depths (m) and Table 10.2, No-decompression time limits for various depths (ft) in Section 10.2. RGBM).

Table 5.5. Altitude Adjustment settings

NOTE

Section 5.8.5. Setting the personal/altitude adjustments describes

 

how the Altitude value is set.

WARNING

Traveling to a higher elevation can temporarily cause a change

 

in the equilibrium of dissolved nitrogen in the body. It is recom-

 

mended that you acclimatize to the new altitude by waiting at

 

least three hours before diving.
