WARNING!
NO DIVE COMPUTER WILL PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF DECOMPRESSION
SICKNESS (DCS)!
All divers must understand and accept that there is no procedure or dive computer that
will totally prevent the possibility of a decompression accident. For example, the
individual physiological make-up can vary within an individual from day to day. The dive
computer cannot account for these variations. As an added measure of safety, you
should consult a physician regarding your fitness before diving.
WARNING!
ONLY DIVERS TRAINED IN THE PROPER USE OF SCUBA EQUIPMENT
SHOULD USE THE FAVOR AIR!
No dive computer can replace the need for proper dive training.
WARNING!
NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE!
SUUNTO dive computers are intended for recreational use only. The demands of
commercial or professional diving often expose the diver to depths and prolonged
exposures including multiday exposures that tend to increase the risk of decompression
sickness. Therefore, Suunto specifically recommends that the FAVOR AIR be not used
for commercial or other severe diving activity.
WARNING!
PERFORM PRECHECKS!
Always check the FAVOR AIR before diving in order to ensure that all LCD segments
are completely displayed, that the FAVOR AIR has not run out of battery power, and that
the personal/altitude adjustment mode is correct.
WARNING!
USE BACK-UP INSTRUMENTS!
Make certain that you use back-up instrumentation including a depth gauge,
submersible pressure gauge, timer or watch, and have access to decompression
tables whenever diving with the FAVOR AIR.
