WARNING!

WHEN THE OXYGEN EXPOSURE WARNING (OLF) INDICATES THAT

THE MAXIMUM LIMIT IS REACHED, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY AS-

CEND UNTIL THE WARNING STOPS BLINKING! Failure to take action

to reduce oxygen exposure after the warning is given can rapidly increase the

risk of oxygen toxicity and the risk of injury or death.

WARNING!

SUUNTO STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT SPORT DIVERS LIMIT

THEIR MAXIMUM DEPTH TO 40 M [130 FT] OR TO THE DEPTH CAL-

CULATED BY THE COMPUTER BASED ON THE ENTERED O

AND

OF 1.4 BAR SETTINGS. Exposure to greater depths increases the risk

of oxygen toxicity and decompression sickness.

3.7. HIGH ALTITUDE DIVES AND PERSONAL

ADJUSTMENT

The dive computer can be adjusted for increasing the conservatism of the math-

ematical nitrogen model and for diving at altitude.

3.7.1. Altitude Adjustment

When programming the instrument for the correct altitude, you need to select

the correct Altitude Mode according to Table 3.3. As a result, the dive computer

adjusts its mathematical model according to the entered altitude mode, giving

shorter no-decompression times at higher altitudes (see Section 6.1. “Operating

Principles”, Table 6.1. and 6.2.)
