WARNING!
SET THE CORRECT ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT MODE! When diving at
altitudes greater than 300 m [1000 ft] the Altitude Adjustment feature must
be correctly selected in order for the computer to calculate no-decompression
status. Failure to properly select the Altitude Adjustment Mode correctly will
result in erroneous data and can greatly increase the risk of DCS.
WARNING!
THE DIVE COMPUTER IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE AT ALTITUDES
GREATER THAN 3000 m [10000 ft]! Diving at altitudes above this limit may
signifi cantly increase the risk of DCS.
WARNING!
SET THE CORRECT PERSONAL ADJUSTMENT MODE! The diver
should use this option to make the calculations more conservative, whenever
it is believed that factors, which tend to increase the possibility of DCS exist.
Failure to properly select the Personal Adjustment Mode correctly will result
in erroneous data and can greatly increase the risk of DCS.
CAUTION!
ENSURE THE WATER RESISTANCE OF THE DEVICE! Always check
the water resistance of the battery compartment when replacing the battery.

1.1.1. Emergency Ascents
In the unlikely event that the dive computer malfunctions during a dive, follow
the emergency procedures provided by your certifi ed dive training agency or,
alternatively,
STEP 1: Assess the situation calmly and then move promptly to less than
18 m [60 ft].
STEP 2: At 18 m [60 ft], slow down your ascent rate to 10 m/min [33 ft/min]
and move to a depth between 3 and 6 meters [10 to 20 ft].
STEP 3: Stay there as long as your air supply will safely allow. After reaching
the surface stay out of the water at least 24 hours.
