WARNING

Perform prechecks. Always activate and check the device before diving in order

to ensure that all Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) segments are completely

displayed, that the device has not run out of battery power, and that the oxygen,

altitude and personal adjustments are correct. Also, exit the Data Transfer mode

before diving, as the computer does not automatically revert to Dive mode from

Data Transfer mode.

WARNING

You are advised not to fly any time the computer counts down the no-flying

time. always activate the computer to check the remaining no-fly time prior to

flying. The computer goes into the stand-by display automatically 5 minutes

after surfacing. Flying or traveling to a higher altitude within no-fly time can

greatly increase the risk of DCI. Review the recommendations given by Diver's

Alert Network (DAN) in chapter 3.2.3.4. "Flying After Diving". There can never

be a flying after 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 information will not apply to someone who has not been wearing it

throughout a dive or sequence of repetitive dives. Its dive profiles must match

that of the user. If it is left on the surface during any dive, it will give inaccurate

information for subsequent dives. No dive computer can take into account dives

made without the computer. Thus any diving activity up to four days prior to

initial use of the computer may cause misleading information and must be avoided.
