User manual SUUNTO SOLUTION ALPHA POCKET GUIDE

[. . . ] 1 SOLUTION á ( ALPHA) INSTRUCTION MANUAL The SUUNTO SOLUTION á dive computer features: - built-in simulator for dive planning before and between dives built-in calendar clock personal adjustment adjustment for altitude phosphorescent LCD display complete memory capabilities including 25 hour profile memory visual and audible alarms PC interface capability easily replaceable protective shield wrist and combo models DEFINITION OF WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES Throughout this manual, special references are made when deemed important. Three classifications are used to separate these references by their order of importance. WARNING - is used in connection with a procedure or situation that may result in serious injury or death. CAUTION - is used in connection with a procedure or situation that will result in damage to the product. [. . . ] In addition a blinking error warning Er reminds you that you have only three minutes to correct the situation. If you continue to violate the decompression, the SOLUTION á goes into a permanent ERROR MODE. In this mode the SOLUTION á can only be used as a depth gauge and timer. See also Section 3. 6, Error Conditions. 21 During decompression, ASC TIME will count down toward zero. You may surface only when the ascent time reaches zero and ASC TIME is replaced by NO DEC TIME. 3. 4 AT SURFACE 3. 4. 1 Surface Interval An ascent to any depth shallower than 1. 5 m [5 ft] will cause the DIVING display to be replaced by the SURFACE displays, giving the following information. - The surface time in hours and minutes (separated by a colon), telling the duration of the present surface interval. the total duration of the most recent dive, is displayed above DIVE TIME in the lower right corner. - The maximum depth of your most recent dive in meters [ft] is shown in the same position as your depth readings during the dive. In addition the graphical depth display shows a single bar at the maximum depth. - The desaturation/ no-flying time in hours and minutes is shown next to the non-blinking airplane in the center window of the display. If you start a new dive in less than 10 minutes at the surface, the SOLUTION á interprets this as a continuation of the previous dive. The DIVING display will return, the DIVE number will remain unchanged, and DIVE TIME will begin where it left off. After 10 minutes on the surface, subsequent dives are by definition repetitive. The DIVE counter displayed in the dive planning mode will progress to the next higher number if you make another dive. Dive Planning You may, any time, on the surface enter the DIVE PLANNING mode in the manner described in Section 3. 2. 2, by touching the ON/PLAN and COM contacts. The SOLUTION á will take into account the residual nitrogen caused by your previous dives. The no-decompression times given for different depths will therefore be shorter than before your first dive. You may also read the time by touching the TIME/MODE and COM contacts, as described in Section 3. 2. 3. 3. 4. 2 Flying After Diving 22 The no-flying time is shown in the center window next to the non-blinking airplane image. The airplane is blinking as a reminder, when the alternative display showing surface time is on. Flying or traveling to a higher altitude should be avoided anytime the airplane symbol is displayed. The no-flying time displayed by the SOLUTION á is equivalent to the so-called desaturation time. When this time has elapsed, the residual nitrogen is no longer a factor for subsequent dives.
