  • Page 5: Cautions

    This User’s Guide contains certain hazards and should be carefully read. • It is essential to read this user manual before using the Dive System computer. The incorrect use of the computer or its accessories will void the warranty and may cause permanent damage to the computer itself and / or its accessories.
  • Page 6 Cautions Oxygen Toxicity even if the diver scrupulously and correctly follows the instructions of dive tables or computers. • The computer is not able to take into account individual physiological variations that can alter day to day and for this reason it is good practice to use this instrument in a conservative and precau- tionary manner, remain well within the limits set by the computer in order to minimize the risk of decompression sickness and oxygen toxicity to the central nervous system.
  • Page 7: Danger Warnings

    Cautions Danger warnings • The computer is NOT intended for PROFESSIONAL use! The computer is intended for sports use only. • Non compliance to the above may expose the diver to an increased risk of incurring decompression illness (DCI) It is therefore not recommended for commercial or professional diving. • Before diving you must check the battery level, DO NOT dive with the battery level of 30% or lower, check that the display does not show any sign of malfunction and that it is legible.
  • Page 8 Cautions • Keep in mind that our body has daily variations of which the computer cannot take into account. • You must avoid all behavior that increase risks associated with decompression sickness such as rapid ascents, yo-yo diving, decompression stop obligations, dives with surface intervals too close toge- ther and by any other behavior not dictated by common sense and training.
  • Page 9: Nitrox Diving

    Cautions speed, observing the depth stops displayed helps meet this duration. • No FLY Time: it is prohibited to board a plane if the NO FLY TIME icon on the display is still on. Re- member to plan the last dive of the series taking into account the recommendations provided by DAN (Divers Alert Network).
  • Page 10: Before A Dive

    Cautions • Diving with Nitrox requires specific training, DO NOT dive without due training. Exceeding the maxi- mum PpO2 settings and those recommended imposes an immediate ascent to a lower level and in the event of a CNS value (Central Nervous System) approaches the recommended limits we advise a reduction of oxygen exposure.
  • Page 11: Limits Of The Dive Computer

    Cautions Limits of the dive computer • The computer reflects the latest guidelines on diving safety but keep in mind that these studies are to be considered of theoretical basis and processed to reduce but not eliminate the risk of de- compression sickness.
  • Page 12 Cautions unit is controlled periodically from the point of view of accuracy in reading, the depth and time. The level of precision required by European standards is +/- 3.5%. • The warranty is voided if the endcap is removed from a non-authorized service center. • The computer iDive is built to withstand use in sea water but at the end of the dive you have to rinse well with fresh water and do not expose to direct sunlight or heat sources to dry.
