READ THIS MANUAL! Carefully read this instruction manual in its entirety
paying close attention to all warnings listed below, including section 1.1. "Safety
Precautions". Make sure that you fully understand the use, displays and limita-
tions of the dive computer because any confusion resulting from neglecting to
follow this instruction manual or from improper use of this device may cause
a diver to commit errors that may lead to serious injury or death.
NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE! Suunto dive computers are intended for
recreational use only. The demands of commercial or professional diving
may expose the diver to depths and exposures that tend to increase the risk of
decompression illness (DCI). Therefore, Suunto strongly recommends that the
device be not used for commercial or professional diving activity.
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. Insuffi cient or improper training may
cause diver 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 PRE-

DIVE COMPUTER OR DIVE TABLE WILL 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 remain well within the exposure limits provided
by the instrument to minimize the risk of DCI. As an added measure of safety,
