WARNING READ THIS MANUAL! Carefully read this manual in its entirety, paying
close attention to all the warnings listed below, including Section 5.
BEFORE DIVING. Make sure that you fully understand the use,
displays and limitations of the dive computer, because any confusion
resulting from neglecting to follow this user's manual or from improper
use of this device could cause you to commit errors that may lead to
serious injury or death.
WARNING NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE! Suunto dive computers are
intended for recreational use only. The demands of commercial or
professional diving may expose the diver to depths and conditions
that tend to increase the risk of decompression illness (DCI).
Therefore, Suunto strongly recommends that the device is not used
for any commercial or professional diving activities.
WARNING ONLY DIVERS TRAINED IN THE PROPER USE OF SCUBA DIVING
EQUIPMENT SHOULD USE A DIVE COMPUTER! No dive computer
can replace the need for proper dive training. Insufficient or improper
training may cause you to commit errors that may lead to serious
injury or death.
WARNING THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK OF DECOMPRESSION ILLNESS (DCI)
FOR ANY DIVE PROFILE, EVEN IF YOU FOLLOW THE DIVE PLAN

THE POSSIBILITY OF DCI OR OXYGEN TOXICITY! An individual’s
physiological make-up can vary from day to day. The dive computer
cannot account for these variations. You are strongly advised to
remain well within the exposure limits provided by the instrument to
minimize the risk of DCI. As an added precaution, you should consult
a physician regarding your fitness before diving.
