[. . . ] Unless you are fully aware of these risks and are willing to personally accept and assume responsibility for those risks, do not use the Matrix!The Matrix is a sophisticated decompression tool to assist a trained and certified SCUBA diver in making decisions concerning dive planning and execution. As with any tool, the Matrix may be misused if the following safety and operational precautions are not strictly followed. If they are followed, careful use of the Matrix can increase your diving enjoyment and reduce the risk of decompression sickness; if they are not followed, you will be placing yourself at serious risk for decompression sickness. [. . . ] € GAUGE MODE If the Matrix enters a Permanent Violation Mode, it will only operate in Gauge Mode on subsequent dives. The Matrix removes all displays that relate to decompression. No dives must be made for 24 hours for the Matrix to reset itself. gauge Mode is explained in detail in the next chapter , “Extreme Situations. € DIVE LOG MODE Accessing the Dive Log Mode Ten minutes after surfacing from a dive, you can access the Dive Log Mode by pressing the neon-yellow button at any time. After entering the Dive Log, the Matrix scrolls through all dives in memory, beginning with the most recent dive. The Matrix displays each dive for 4 seconds. However, if you need to pause the dive log scrolling to write down the information in a logbook, press and hold the neon-yellow button anytime during the scroll to freeze the display. When you release the button, the scrolling continues. Note: If you hold the button down to enter Dive Log Mode, and do not release the button for eight seconds, the Matrix enters External Access Mode. In External Access, the Matrix displays the letters “EA” and counts down from 6 to 0. This situation increases the risk of decompression sickness and must be avoided. decompression diving requires special training and equipment. For these reasons, sport divers should not attempt decompression diving. Making a dive that requires decompression stops should be avoided because you cannot ascend directly to the surface without risking personal harm. If equipment problems delayed your ascent, your risk of decompression sickness would increase. Your buddy would be unable to lend assistance without also risking decompression sickness. VIOLATION MODES If you exceed certain limits, the Matrix will not be able to tell you how to get back to the surface. These situations will make the Matrix enter Violation Mode and must be avoided at all costs. They push decompression theory to the limits and can result in loss of some Matrix functions for 24 hours after the last dive of the day in which a violation occurred. There are three different Violation Modes, which vary in seriousness. they are termed “Conditional Violation , ” “Delayed Violation Mode , ” and “Immediate Violation Mode. [. . . ] If damage is found, return the Matrix to an Authorized U. Do not attempt to use until the unit has received service. A b WARNING: DO NOT attempt to remove the outer case back ring (figure 18, b). Doing so may cause the Matrix to malfunction, resulting in injury or death; it also voids the warranty. [. . . ]
