Diving is a potentially dangerous sport. When using this watch for diving,
make sure to have a correct understanding of this watch as described in
this manual and strictly adhere to the procedures for its operation.
The watch may not function properly if handled in a manner not described in this
manual.
General Cautions Regarding Diving
WARNING
In the case of using this watch for diving, always make sure to receive the
proper scuba diving training from a certified instructor so that you have the
necessary experience and skills required for safe diving. In addition, make
sure that you have completely mastered the handling and operation of this
watch.
Even though you may only be engaged in recreational diving, any type of diving can
be potentially dangerous. Attempting to engage in diving with improper or inadequate
training can result in a fatal or serious accident.
WARNING
Never attempt NITROX diving unless you have received special training for
NITROX diving.
Although this watch is also compatible with NITROX diving, NITROX diving presents
serious or potentially fatal risks unlike ordinary diving using compressed air.
WARNING
Each diver should be responsible for formulating and executing a diving
plan to ensure safety that matches his or her own abilities.
The dive computer function of this watch is not designed to completely prevent the
occurrence of decompression sickness. In addition, it is unable to monitor differences
in the physiological functions of individual divers or differences in physical condition
on a particular day. Since physical condition has a considerable effect on the
occurrence of decompression sickness, the degree of the risk of decompression
sickness varies depending on the physical condition of the diver on that day. It is
therefore recommended to avoid diving when physical condition is poor, such as in
the case of illness, fatigue, lack of sleep or hangover.
