READ THIS MANUAL! Carefully read this manual in its entirety,
paying close attention to all the warnings listed below, including
Section 5. BEFORE DIVING. Make sure that you fully understand
the use, displays and limitations of the dive computer, because any
confusion resulting from neglecting to follow this user's manual or
from improper use of this device could cause you to commit errors
that may lead to serious injury or death.
NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE! Suunto dive computers are inten-
ded for recreational use only. The demands of commercial or profes-
sional diving may expose the diver to depths and conditions that tend
to increase the risk of decompression illness (DCI). Therefore, Suunto
strongly recommends that the device is not used for any commercial
or professional diving activities.
ONLY DIVERS TRAINED IN THE PROPER USE OF SCUBA DIVING
EQUIPMENT SHOULD USE A DIVE COMPUTER! No dive computer
can replace the need for proper dive training. Insufficient or improper
training may cause you to commit errors that may lead to serious injury
or death.
THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK OF DECOMPRESSION ILLNESS (DCI)
FOR ANY DIVE PROFILE, EVEN IF YOU FOLLOW THE DIVE PLAN
PRESCRIBED BY DIVE TABLES OR A DIVE COMPUTER. NO
PROCEDURE, DIVE COMPUTER, OR DIVE TABLE CAN PREVENT
THE POSSIBILITY OF DCI OR OXYGEN TOXICITY! An individual's
physiological make-up can vary from day to day. The dive computer
cannot account for these variations. You are strongly advised to re-
main well within the exposure limits provided by the instrument to
minimize the risk of DCI. As an added precaution, you should consult
a physician regarding your fitness before diving.
SUUNTO STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT SPORT DIVERS
LIMIT THEIR MAXIMUM DEPTH TO 40 M/130 FT OR TO THE
DEPTH CALCULATED BY THE COMPUTER BASED ON THE SE-
LECTED O
% AND A MAXIMUM PO
2
OF 1.4 BAR!
