PATENT NOTICE
U.S. Patents have been issued, or applied for, to protect the following design features:
Dive Time Remaining (U.S. Patent no. 4,586,136), Data Sensing and Processing Device (U.S. Patent
no. 4,882,678), and Variable Ascent Rate Indicator (U.S. Patent no. 5,156,055). User Setable
Display (U.S. Patent no. 5,845,235) is owned by Suunto Oy (Finland).
DECOMPRESSION MODEL
The programs within the Veo 200/250 simulate the absorption of nitrogen 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 Veo 200/250 dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experi-
ments in decompression theory. Still, using the Veo 200/250, just as using the U.S. Navy
(or other) No Decompression Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding decompression
sickness, i.e. the bends. Every divers physiology is different, and can even vary from day to
day. No machine can predict how your body will react to a particular dive profile.
