Page 57: Appendix - Rgbm Model
The model should be adjusted to a conservative level, according to personal experience and ability. Under ideal conditions, use the default value of mode 2. If conditions are more difficult, choose a more conservative model. The UDI-14™ adjusts the RGBM model according to the mode entered, and provides appropriate decompression times. - Page 58 The UDI-14™ also allows more experienced divers who are willing to accept some risks to choose a lesser level of conservativeness.
