Emergency Ascents - Suunto EON STEEL Safety And Regulatory Information Manual

values where applicable into your dive computer will result in incorrect dive
planning information.
WARNING: Using a dive planner software such as Suunto DM5 is not a substitute
for proper dive training. Diving with mixed gases has dangers that are not familiar
to divers diving with air. To dive with triox, heliox and nitrox or all of them, divers
must have specialized training for the type of diving they are doing.
WARNING: Do not use Suunto USB Cable in areas where flammable gases are
present. Doing so may cause an explosion.
WARNING: Do not disassemble or remodel Suunto USB Cable in any way. Doing
so may cause an electric shock or fire.
WARNING: Do not use Suunto USB cable if cable or parts are damaged.
WARNING: You must only charge your device using USB adapters that comply
with the IEC 62368-1 standard and have a maximum output of 5 V. Non-compliant
adapters are a fire hazard and a risk to personal injury and might damage your
Suunto device.
CAUTION: DO NOT allow the connector pins of the USB cable to touch any
conductive surface. This may short-circuit the cable, making it unusable.

2.2 Emergency ascents

In the unlikely event that the dive computer malfunctions during a dive, follow
the emergency procedures provided by your certified dive training agency to
immediately and safely ascend.
3 BEFORE YOU DIVE
Make sure that you fully understand the use, displays, and limitations of your dive
instruments. If you have any questions about this manual or the dive instrument,
contact your Suunto dealer before diving with the dive computer. Always
remember that YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY!
Before leaving on a dive trip, inspect your dive computer thoroughly to make sure
everything is functioning properly.
At the dive site, perform your manual pre-checks on each device before entering
the water.
3.1 Dive computer pre-check
Ensure that:
1. Suunto EON Steel is in the correct dive mode and the display is working as
expected.
2. Altitude setting is correct.
3. Personal setting is correct.
4. Deep stops are set correctly.

mechanical) are showing correct and consistent readings.
