  • Page 2: Notices

    The program within the i300 simulates the absorption of inert gases into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is merely a way to apply a limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The i300 dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experi- ments in decompression theory.

  • Page 3: Warnings

    • If you exceed certain limits, the i300 will not be able to help you get safely back to the surface. These situations exceed tested limits and can result in loss of some functions for 24 hours after the dive in which a violation occurred.

    GETTING STARTED BUTTONS The i300 utilizes 2 control buttons called the ADV (Advance) and SEL (Select) buttons. They allow you to select mode options and access specific information. They are also used to enter settings, activate the backlight, and acknowledge the audible alarm. Throughout this manual they will be referred to as the ADV and SEL buttons.
