PERSONAL ADJUSTMENT AND HIGH ALTITUDE

DIVING

WARNING!

SET THE CORRECT PERSONAL/ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT MODE! When diving

at altitudes greater than 700 m [2300 ft] the personal/altitude adjustment feature must

be correctly selected in order for the computer to calculate no-decompression sta-

tus. The diver should also use this option to make the calculations more conserva-

tive, whenever it is believed that factors which tend to increase the possibility of

decompression sickness exist (see Section 3.6). Failure to properly select the per-

sonal/altitude adjustment mode correctly will result in erroneous data and can greatly

increase the risk of decompression sickness.

WARNING!

THE DIVE COMPUTER IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE AT ALTITUDES GREATER

THAN 2400 m [8000 ft]! Diving at altitudes above this limit may significantly increase

the risk of decompression sickness.

If you are diving at higher altitudes, make sure that the altitude mode has been set

according to the altitude of your dive site.

For information on how to select the correct altitude setting and how to use the per-

sonal adjustment, see Section 3.6, “Personal Adjustment and High Altitude Dives”.
