WARNING
Read this manual. Care ully read this instruction manual in its entirety paying
close attention to all warnings listed below, including chapter 1.1. Sa ety
Precautions. Make sure that you ully understand the use, displays and
limitations o the dive computer because any con usion resulting rom
neglecting to ollow this instruction manual or rom improper use o this
device may cause a diver to commit errors that may lead to serious injury or
death.
WARNING
Not or pro essional use. Suunto dive computers are intended or recreational
use only. The demands o commercial or pro essional diving may expose the
diver to depths and exposures that tend to increase the risk o decompression
illness (DCI). There ore, Suunto strongly recommends that the device be not
used or commercial or pro essional diving activity.
WARNING
Only divers trained in the proper use o scuba diving equipment should use a
dive computer. No dive computer can replace the need or proper dive training.
Insu icient or improper training may cause diver to commit errors that may
lead to serious injury or death.

WARNING
There is always a risk o decompression illness (DCI) or any dive pro ile
even i you ollow the dive plan prescribed by dive tables or a dive computer.
No procedure, dive computer or dive table will prevent the possibility o DCI
or oxygen toxicity. An individuals physiological make up can vary rom day
to day. The dive computer cannot account or these variations. You are
strongly advised to remain well within the exposure limits provided by the
instrument to minimize the risk o DCI. As an added measure o sa ety, you
should consult a physician regarding your itness be ore diving.
WARNING
Suunto strongly recommends that sport divers limit their maximum depth to
40 m [130 t] or to the depth calculated by the computer based on the selected
O2% and a maximum PO2 o 1.4 bar settings.
WARNING
Dives with required decompression stops are not recommended. You should
ascend and begin decompression immediately when the dive computer shows
you that a decompression stop is required. Note the blinking ASC TIME
symbol and the upward pointing arrow.
WARNING
Use back-up instruments. Make sure that you use back-up instrumentation
including a depth gauge, submersible pressure gauge, timer or watch, and
have access to decompression tables whenever diving with a dive computer.

WARNING
Per orm pre-checks. Always activate and check the device be ore diving in
order to ensure that all Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) segments are completely
displayed, that the device has not run out o battery power, and that the
oxygen, altitude and personal adjustments are correct. Also, exit the Data
Trans er mode be ore diving, as the computer does not automatically revert to
Dive mode rom Data Trans er mode.
WARNING
You are advised not to ly any time the computer counts down the no- lying
time. Always activate the computer to check the remaining no- ly time prior
to lying. The computer goes into the stand-by display automatically 5 minutes
a ter sur acing. Flying or traveling to a higher altitude within no- ly time can
greatly increase the risk o DCI. Review the recommendations given by
Divers Alert Network (DAN) in chapter 3.2.3.4. Flying A ter Diving. There
can never be a lying a ter diving rule that is guaranteed to completely prevent
decompression illness!
WARNING
The dive computer should never be traded or shared between users while it is in
operation. Its in ormation will not apply to someone who has not been wearing
it throughout a dive or sequence o repetitive dives. Its dive pro iles must match
that o the user. I it is le t on the sur ace during any dive, it will give inaccurate
in ormation or subsequent dives. No dive computer can take into account dives
made without the computer. Thus any diving activity up to our days prior to
initial use o the computer may cause misleading in ormation and must be avoided.

WARNING
Do not dive with a cylinder o enriched air i you have not personally veri ied
its contents and entered the analyzed value into your dive computer. Failure
to veri y cylinder contents and enter the appropriate O2% into your dive
computer will result in incorrect dive planning in ormation.
WARNING
The dive computer will not accept ractional percentage values o oxygen
concentration. Do not round up ractional percentages. For example, 31.8%
oxygen should be entered as 31%. Rounding up will cause nitrogen
percentages to be understated and will a ect decompression calculations. I
there is a desire to adjust the computer to provide more conservative
calculations, use the personal adjustment eature to a ect decompression
calculations or reduce the PO2 setting to a ect oxygen exposure.
WARNING
Set the correct Altitude Adjustment Mode when diving at altitudes greater
than 300 m [1000 t] the Altitude Adjustment eature must be correctly
selected in order or the computer to calculate the decompression status. The
dive computer is not intended or use at altitudes greater than 3000 m [10000 t].
Failure to select the correct Altitude Adjustment setting or diving above the
maximum altitude limit will result in erroneous dive and planning data.
