POSS IBILITY OF DCI OR OXYGEN TOXICITY! An individual’s physi-
ological 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 measure of safety, you should consult a
physician regarding your tness before diving.

WARNING!
USE BACK-UP INSTRUMENTS! Make sure that you use back-up in-
strumentation including a depth gauge, submersible pressure gauge,
timer or watch, and have access to decompression tables whenever
diving with the dive computer.

PERFORM PRECHECKS! Always activate and check the device be-
fore diving in order to ensure that all Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

diving, as the computer does not automatically revert to Dive mode
from Data Transfer mode.
