WARNING

DIVES THAT REQUIRE DECOMPRESSION STOPS ARE NOT RE-

 

COMMENDED. YOU SHOULD ASCEND AND BEGIN DECOMPRES-

 

SION IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE DIVE COMPUTER SHOWS YOU

 

THAT A DECOMPRESSION STOP IS REQUIRED! Note the blinking

 

ASC TIME symbol and the upward pointing arrow.

WARNING

USE BACK-UP INSTRUMENTS! Make sure that you use back-up

 

instrumentation, including a depth gauge, submersible pressure gauge,

 

timer or watch, and have access to decompression tables whenever

 

diving with the dive computer.

WARNING

PERFORM PRE-CHECKS! Always activate and check the device

 

before diving in order to ensure that all Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

 

segments are completely displayed, that the device has not run out

 

of battery power, and that the oxygen, altitude, personal, Safety/Deep

 

Stop, and RGBM adjustments are correct.

WARNING

YOU ARE ADVISED TO AVOID FLYING ANY TIME THE COMPUTER

 

COUNTS DOWN THE NO-FLY TIME. ALWAYS ACTIVATE THE

 

COMPUTER TO CHECK THE REMAINING NO-FLY TIME PRIOR

 

TO FLYING! Flying or traveling to a higher altitude within the no-fly

 

time can greatly increase the risk of DCI. Review the recommendations

 

given by Divers Alert Network (DAN) in Section 7.4. Flying after diving.

WARNING

THE DIVE COMPUTER SHOULD NEVER BE TRADED OR SHARED

 

BETWEEN USERS WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION! Its information will

 

not apply to someone who has not been wearing it throughout a dive,

 

or sequence of repetitive dives. Its dive profiles must match that of

 

the user. If it is left on the surface during any dive, the dive computer

 

will give inaccurate information for subsequent dives. No dive com-

 

puter can take into account dives made without the computer. Thus,

 

any diving activity up to four days prior to initial use of the computer

 

may cause misleading information and must be avoided.

WARNING

DO NOT EXPOSE THE SUUNTO HelO2'S OPTIONAL PRESSURE

 

TRANSMITTER TO ANY GAS MIX CONTAINING MORE THAN 40%

 

OXYGEN! Gas with greater oxygen content presents a risk of fire or

 

explosion and serious injury or death.

WARNING

DO NOT DIVE WITH A GAS IF YOU HAVE NOT PERSONALLY

 

VERIFIED ITS CONTENTS AND ENTERED THE ANALYZED VALUE

 

INTO YOUR DIVE COMPUTER! Failure to verify cylinder contents

 

and enter the appropriate O2% and He% into your dive computer will

 

result in incorrect dive planning information.

WARNING

THE DIVE COMPUTER WILL NOT ACCEPT FRACTIONAL PER-

 

CENTAGE VALUES OF OXYGEN CONCENTRATION. DO NOT

 

ROUND UP FRACTIONAL PERCENTAGES! For example, 31.8%

 

oxygen should be entered as 31%. Rounding up will cause nitrogen

 

percentages to be understated and will affect decompression calcula-

 

tions. If you want to adjust the computer to provide more conservative

 

calculations, use the personal adjustment feature to affect decompres-

 

sion calculations, or reduce the PO2 setting to affect oxygen exposure.
