WARNING!
NO PROCEDURE, DIVE COMPUTER OR DIVE TABLE WILL PRE-
VENT THE POSSIBILITY OF DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS (DCS) OR
OXYGEN TOXICITY! You must understand and accept that there is no pro-
cedure, dive computer or dive table that will totally prevent the possibility of
a decompression accident or that oxygen toxicity will not occur, even within
accepted limits. For example, the individual physiological make up can vary
within an individual from day to day. The dive computer cannot account for
these variations. As an added measure of safety, you should consult a physician
regarding your fi tness before diving with the dive computer. Decompression
sickness can cause serious injury or death.
DIVING WITH ENRICHED AIR MIXTURES (NITROX) EXPOSES THE
USER TO RISKS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH DIVING
WITH STANDARD AIR. THESE RISKS ARE NOT OBVIOUS AND REQUIRE
TRAINING TO UNDERSTAND AND AVOID. RISKS INCLUDE POSSIBLE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DIVE WITH ANY GAS MIX OTHER THAN STAN-
DARD AIR WITHOUT FIRST RECEIVING CERTIFIED TRAINING IN THIS
SPECIALTY.
WARNING!
USE BACK-UP INSTRUMENTS! Make sure that you use back-up instru-
mentation including a depth gauge, submersible pressure gauge, timer or
watch, and have access to decompression tables whenever diving with the
dive computer.
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 profi les 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 com-
puter. Thus any diving activity 48 hours prior to initial use of the computer
may give misleading information, which may substantially increase the risk
of decompression sickness and must be avoided.
