This feature should be used to adjust the computer to intentionally introduce a factor to make it more conservative according

to personal preference by entering a higher altitude mode than required in table 3.2 (i.e. diving at sea level with the personal/

altitude adjustment set at A1 or A2). The no-decompression limits are then shortened accordingly (Tables 6.1 and 6.2).

WARNING!

DO NOT USE THIS INSTRUMENT TO CONDUCT DECOMPRESSION DIVES! Suunto does not recommend this

instrument to be used to conduct decompression dives. However, if through carelessness or emergency a diver is forced

to exceed the no-decompression limits on a dive, the instrument will provide decompression information required for

ascent. After this the dive computer will continue to provide subsequent interval and repetitive dive information.

3.6 ERROR CONDITIONS

The instrument is provided with warning indicators that advise the user to react to certain situations that would otherwise

give rise to a significantly increased risk of decompression sickness if left unattended. If you do not respond to its warnings,

it will enter a permanent ERROR MODE, indicating that the risk of decompression sickness has greatly increased. If you

understand and operate the dive computer sensibly, it is unlikely that you will ever put the instrument into the ERROR

MODE.
The permanent ERROR MODE is shown by a non-blinking Er in the center display. Once in ERROR MODE, the dive

computer will continue to display current depth and dive time. You should immediately ascend to a depth of 3 to 6 m [10 to

20 ft] and remain at this depth until air supply limitations require you to surface. When the surface has been reached, no

further diving or flying should take place for a minimum of two days.
