WARNING
Perform prechecks. Always activate and check the device before diving in order
to ensure that all Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) segments are completely
displayed, that the device has not run out of battery power, and that the oxygen,
altitude and personal adjustments are correct. Also, exit the Data Transfer mode
before diving, as the computer does not automatically revert to Dive mode from
Data Transfer mode.
WARNING
You are advised not to fly any time the computer counts down the no-flying
time. always activate the computer to check the remaining no-fly time prior to
flying. The computer goes into the stand-by display automatically 5 minutes
after surfacing. Flying or traveling to a higher altitude within no-fly time can
greatly increase the risk of DCI. Review the recommendations given by Diver's
Alert Network (DAN) in chapter 3.2.3.4. "Flying After Diving". There can never
be a flying after diving rule that is guaranteed to completely prevent
decompression illness!
WARNING
The dive computer should never be traded or shared between users while it is in
operation. Its information will not apply to someone who has not been wearing it
throughout a dive or sequence of repetitive dives. Its dive profiles must match
that of the user. If it is left on the surface during any dive, it will give inaccurate
information for subsequent dives. No dive computer can take into account dives
made without the computer. Thus any diving activity up to four days prior to
initial use of the computer may cause misleading information and must be avoided.
