For Your Safety - Suunto Favor Air User Manual

2. FOR YOUR SAFETY

Always remember that THE DIVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OR HER OWN
SAFETY!
When used properly the FAVOR AIR is an outstanding tool for assisting properly
trained, certified divers in planning and executing standard and multi-level sport dives
within the described no-decompression limits. It is NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR
CERTIFIED SCUBA INSTRUCTION including training in the principles of
decompression.
DO NOT attempt to use the FAVOR AIR without reading this entire Instruction Manual. If
you have any questions about the manual or the FAVOR AIR, contact your Suunto
dealer before diving with the FAVOR AIR.
Back-Up Instruments
WARNING!
USE BACK-UP INSTRUMENTS!
Make certain that you use back-up instrumentation including a depth gauge, a
submersible pressure gauge, a timer or watch, and have access to decompression
tables whenever diving with the FAVOR AIR.
Cylinder pressure
Before each dive, make sure that your air pressure is sufficient for the planned dive.
While diving, check the cylinder supply pressure frequently.
Sharing the FAVOR AIR
WARNING!
THE FAVOR AIR 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, it will give inaccurate information for subsequent dives.
No dive computer can take into account dives made without the computer. Thus any
diving activity 48 hours prior to initial use of the computer may give misleading
information and must be avoided.
Personal/High Altitude Adjustment

Altitude Dives".
