When programming the instrument for the correct altitude, you need to select the correct Altitude Adjustment settings according to Table 5.6, 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 (refer to Sec- tion 10.2.3. Altitude diving).

Table 5.6. Altitude Adjustment settings

NOTE

Section 5.9.2. Setting the personal/altitude adjustments describes

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 (3) hours before diving.
