example, 31.8% oxygen should be entered as 31%. Rounding up

will cause nitrogen percentages to be understated and will affect

decompression calculations. If there is a desire to adjust the com-

puter to provide more conservative calculations, use the personal

adjustment feature to affect decompression calculations or reduce

the PO

setting to affect oxygen exposure according to the entered

O

% and PO

values.

NOTE

As a safety precaution the oxygen calculations in the computer are

made with an oxygen percentage of 1% + set O

% .

DEFAULT NITROX SETTINGS

In the NITROX Mode, when set to standard air (21% O

2

), the instrument can be used

as an air dive computer. It remains in this air mode until the O

2

% setting is adjusted

to any other percentage of oxygen (22% - 50%).

NOTE

The computer will automatically revert to the air (21% O

2

) setting

when a new dive series is started, if it is not set to any other mix

during the last two hours. When the oxygen percentage is set for

air, the computer will retain this setting.

Manually entered values for oxygen percentage are retained for about two hours after

the setting if a dive series has not started. In case a dive series is started, the set

value is retained until a new dive series is started or a new value is entered manually.
