GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
*Before using this Buoyancy Compensator (BC), you must receive instrucon and cercaon in SCUBA diving and
buoyancy control from a recognized training agency. Use of SCUBA equipment by uncered or untrained persons is
dangerous and can result in serious injury or death.
*Read this owner’s manual completely before aempng to use your BC, and become familiar with it rst in a
controlled environment, such as a swimming pool, in order to weight yourself properly and to become comfortable
with using its many features and adjustments.
*Before every dive, perform a complete pre-dive inspecon according to the procedure prescribed in this manual to
ensure that all components are funconing properly and that no signs of damage or leaks are present. If your BC is not
funconing properly or is damaged, remove it from service unl it can be repaired by an authorized Halcyon Dealer.
*Before every dive, as part of your pre-dive inspecon, ensure that all components of your BC system are securely
connected.
*Your BC is not a li bag. DO NOT use it to bring heavy objects to the surface. Doing so may cause permanent damage
to the BC and could also result in an uncontrolled ascent.
*DO NOT overinate your BC. Control all ascents. A rapid, uncontrolled ascent may cause arterial gas embolism or
decompression sickness and could lead to serious injury or death.
*In the event of an uncontrolled ascent, it is important to immediately begin venng air from the BC. Connue
venng air to slow your ascent rate if neutral buoyancy cannot be re-established.
*In an emergency such as an out-of-air situaon or uncontrolled descent, it is important to remove and jeson
weight immediately. DO NOT depend solely on using your BC’s power inator to li you to the surface.
*DO NOT inhale from your oral inator. The BC may contain harmful contaminants or gasses, which could cause
suocaon, serious injury, or infecon of the lungs.
*Disassembly, repair, or lubricaon must not be aempted by persons who are not factory-trained and authorized by
Halcyon. Unauthorized service will render the warranty null and void.
*Factory-prescribed service for this BC should be performed at least once annually by an authorized Halcyon Dealer.
*Annual service consists of a complete overhaul of the power inator and a general air leak inspecon of the bladder
and valve connecons.
WARNING:Your Buoyancy Compensator (BC) is NOT a lifejacket; it does not guarantee
a head-up position of the wearer at the surface. It does not meet U.S. Coast Guard
regulations for a life preserver or personal otation device (PFD). If you become
unconscious in the water without a buddy present to immediately assist you, you may
suer serious injury or death from drowning.
