Three classifications are used to separate these references by their order of importance. WARNING CAUTION NOTE is used in connection with a procedure or situation that may result in serious injury or death. is used in connection with a procedure or situation that will result in damage to the product. [. . . ] The first dive of the series will be numbered as DIVE 1, the second as DIVE 2, the third as DIVE 3, etc. If you start a new dive with less than 5 minutes of surface interval time, the dive computer interprets this as a continuation of the previous dive and the dives are considered to be the same. The diving display will return, the dive number will remain unchanged, and the dive time will begin where it left off. After 5 minutes on the surface, subsequent dives are, by definition, repetitive. The dive counter displayed in the Planning Mode will increment to the next higher number if another dive is made. Fig. Pressing TIME button twice will show no-flying time, indicated by an airplane symbol. m MAX NO °C DIVE TIME NO Fig. Er symbol indicates that you have violated the ceiling for more than three minutes. You must not dive again for at least 48 hours. Diver Attention Symbol Violated Decompression Ceiling NO Do Not Fly Symbol 33 3. 6. 3. FLYING AFTER DIVING The no-flying time is shown in the center window next to the airplane image. Flying or travelling to a higher altitude should be avoided at any time the computer counts down the no-flying time. You should always activate the dive computer and check that the airplane symbol is not displayed prior to flying. The no-flying time is always at least 12 hours or equivalent to the so-called desaturation time (if longer than 12 hours). In the permanent Error mode and Gauge mode the no-flying time is 48 hours. Divers Alert Network (DAN) recommends the following on no-flying times: · A minimum surface interval of 12 hours would be required in order to be reasonably assured a diver will remain symptom free upon ascent to altitude in a commercial jetliner (altitude up to 2400 m [8000 ft]). Divers who plan to make daily, multiple dives for several days, or make dives that require decompression stops, should take special precautions and wait for an extended interval beyond 12 hours before flight. Further, the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) suggests divers using standard air tanks and exhibiting no symptoms of decompression illness wait 24 hours after their last dive to fly in an aircraft with cabin pressure up to 2400 m [8000 ft]. The only two exceptions to this recommendation are: If a diver had less than 2 hours total accumulated dive time in the last 48 hours, then a 12 hour surface interval before flying is recommended. Following any dive that required a decompression stop, flying should be delayed for at least 24 hours, and if possible, for 48 hours. Suunto recommends that flying is avoided until all the DAN and UHMS guidelines and the dive computer wait to fly conditions are satisfied. · · · · 34 3. 7. AUDIBLE AND VISUAL ALARMS The dive computer features audible and visual alarms to advise when important limits are approached or to acknowledge preset alarms. A short single beep occurs, when: · · the dive computer is activated. when the dive computer automatically returns to the TIME mode. Three double beeps occur, when: · · · the cylinder pressure reaches 50 bar [725 psi]. [. . . ] Elapsed time between leaving the surface to descend, and returning to the surface at the end of a dive. Delta P, describing the Cylinder Pressure drop during the dive; difference in tank pressure between beginning and end of dive. Abbreviation for enriched air nitrox.
