User manual SUUNTO SOLUTION NITROX POCKET GUIDE

[. . . ] NOTE - is used to emphasize important information. WARNING!Carefully read this instruction manual in its entirety, including Section 1, "For Your Safety". Make sure that you fully understand the use, displays and limitations of the SOLUTION á. NO DIVE COMPUTER WILL PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS (DCS)! [. . . ] In addition a blinking error warning Er reminds you that you have only three minutes to correct the situation. You must immediately descend to or below the ceiling. 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. You must not dive again for at least 48 hours. See also Section 3. 6, Error Conditions. 21 During decompression, ASC TIME will count down toward zero. When the ceiling moves upwards, you can ascend to the new ceiling. 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. It is shown below SURF TIME in the center window of the display. the total duration of the most recent dive, is displayed above DIVE TIME in the lower right corner. - 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. Suunto recommends that flying be avoided until both the DAN guidelines and the SOLUTION á wait to fly conditions are satisfied. 3. 5 HIGH ALTITUDE DIVES AND PERSONAL ADJUSTMENT The SOLUTION á can be adjusted for diving at altitude or for increasing the conservatism of the mathematical model. When programming the SOLUTION á for the correct altitude, the diver needs to select the correct altitude mode according to Table 3. 1. As a result the SOLUTION á adjusts its mathematical model according to the entered altitude, giving shorter no-decompression times at higher altitudes (Tables 7. 1 and 7. 2). The entered altitude/ personal adjustment mode is indicated by A0, A1, or A2. Modes A1 and A2 are shown with a diver symbol. Section 4. 3, Altitude Setting describes how the altitude mode is adjusted. Altitude mode Altitude range A0 0 - 700 m [0 - 2300 ft] A1 700 - 1500 m [2300 - 5000 ft] A2 1500 - 2400 m [5000 - 8000 ft] 23 WARNING!SET THE CORRECT ALTITUDE/ PERSONAL ADJUSTMENT MODE!When diving at altitudes greater than 700 m [2300 ft] the altitude/ personal adjustment feature must be correctly selected in order for the computer to calculate no-decompression status. The diver should also use this option to make the calculations more conservative, whenever it is believed that factors which tend to increase the possibility of DCS exist (see Section 3. 5).
