  • Page 2: Notices

    The program within the i330R 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 i330R dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression theory.

  • Page 3: Warnings

    This is an important reason for not pushing the tables, oxygen exposure limits, or entering decompression without proper training. If you dive in situations where your trip would be ruined or your safety would be jeopardized by losing the use of your i330R, a backup instrument system is highly recommended.

  • Page 4: European Union Regulations

    • If you exceed certain limits, the i330R 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.

  • Page 9: Activation

    GETTING STARTED ACTIVATION To activate the i330R, press and release any button. The i330R will also turn on if you descend below 1.5 m (5 ft) for 5 seconds. • Upon activation, the unit will display the Activation screen and perform a diagnostic check. The i330R checks the display and voltage at this time to ensure that everything is within tolerance.

    DIVE FEATURES DTR (DIVE TIME REMAINING) The i330R constantly monitors No Decompression status and O2 Accumulation, and will display whichever time is the least amount available as DTR on the No Decompression Dive Main screen. The Time being displayed will be identified by the NO DECO (no decompression time) or O2 TIME icons.

  • Page 15: Asc Bar Graph

    DEEP STOP When the Deep Stop selection is set ON, it will trigger after descending deeper than 24 m (80 ft). The i330R then calculates (continually updating) a Stop Depth equal to ½ the Max Depth.

    The battery icon shall continue flashing and the LOW BATTERY message will be removed. WARNING: The i330R will shut down when the battery is completely exhausted. Recharge the battery before making additional dives. End your dive as soon as is safe if your i330R indicates the Battery Low Alarm during a dive.
