Stop time appear in the display. You should wait until the Mandatory Safety Stop

warning disappears (Fig. 3.13.).

The Mandatory Safety Stop time always includes the three minute Recommended

Safety Stop time. The total length of the Mandatory Safety Stop time depends on the

seriousness of the ascent rate violation.

You must not ascend shallower than 3 m [10 ft] with the Mandatory Safety Stop warn-

ing on. If you ascend above the Mandatory Safety Stop ceiling, a downward pointing

arrow will appear and a continuous beeping starts (Fig. 3.14.). You should immedi-

ately descend to, or below, the Mandatory Safety Stop ceiling depth. If you correct

this situation at any time during that dive, there are no affects on the decompression

calculations for future dives.

If you continue to violate the Mandatory Safety Stop, the tissue calculation model is

affected and the dive computer shortens the available no-decompression time for your

next dive. In this situation, it is recommended to prolong your surface interval time

before your next dive.

The ZOOP has two operating modes: Air mode for diving with standard air only and

Nitrox mode for diving with oxygen enriched (EANx) mixtures. The Nitrox mode is

enabled in the MODE-SET-MODEL.
