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.
NOTE - is used to emphasize important information.
WARNING!
READ THIS MANUAL! 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 this dive computer. Any confusion resulting
from improper use of this device may cause diver to commit errors that may lead to serious injury or death.
WARNING!
ONLY DIVERS TRAINED IN THE PROPER USE OF SCUBA EQUIPMENT SHOULD USE THIS DIVE COMPUTER!
No dive computer can replace the need for proper dive training. Insufficient or improper training may cause diver to
commit errors that may lead to serious injury or death.
WARNING!
PERFORM PRECHECKS! Always check this instrument before diving in order to ensure that all LCD segments are
completely displayed, that the dive computer has not run out of battery power, and that the personal and altitude
adjustment mode is correct.
5
WARNING!
USE BACK-UP INSTRUMENTS! Make certain that you use back-up instrumentation including a depth gauge, sub-
mersible pressure gauge, timer or watch, and have access to decompression tables whenever diving with this instrument.
WARNING!
NO DIVE COMPUTER WILL PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS (DCS)! All divers
must understand and accept that there is no procedure or dive computer that will totally prevent the possibility of a
decompression accident. For example, the individual physiological make up can vary within an individual from day to
day. The dive computer cannot account for these variations. As an added measure of safety, you should consult a physician
regarding your fitness before diving. Decompression sickness can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING!
NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE! SUUNTO dive computers are intended for recreational use only. The demands of
commercial or professional diving often expose the diver to depths and prolonged exposures including multiday
exposures that tend to increase the risk of decompression sickness. Therefore, Suunto specifically recommends that this
instrument is not used for commercial or other severe diving activity.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your choice of the SUUNTO Dive Computer.
It is a compact and sophisticated dive instrument that will give you years of trouble free and joyful diving. The dive computer
will provide you with important information that you will need during, between, and after your dives.
KEY FEATURES
The dive computer monitors and reports vital information such as your dive time, current depth, maximum depth, no-decom-
pression time and ascent rate.
The dive computer will also give you information, if through carelessness or emergency you are forced to exceed the no-
decompression limits for any dive.
The instrument has a built-in calendar and clock. It features versatile logbook memory capabilities and long-term historical
data. The instrument can be adjusted for diving at different altitudes or to add an extra level of conservativeness if desired.
The screen is protected against scratches and damage by a replaceable shield.
The dive computer is available either as a wrist unit with an optional protective boot or mounted in two gauge or three gauge
console or in a hose mounted boot. The modular construction allows for the separate compass module to be attached to the two
gauge console at a later stage.

METRIC AND IMPERIAL UNITS
All examples in this manual are shown in metric units, including meters and °C. The corresponding imperial units are shown
in brackets. The instrument is also available with imperial units, i.e. feet and °F.
WARNING!
VERIFY THAT THE UNITS OF MEASURE, WHETHER METRIC OR IMPERIAL, ARE CORRECT BEFORE
STARTING TO DIVE! Any confusion resulting from improper selection of units may cause the diver to commit errors
that may lead to serious injury.

1. FOR YOUR SAFETY
Always remember that THE DIVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OR HER OWN SAFETY!
When used properly this dive computer is an outstanding tool for assisting properly trained, certified divers in planning and
executing standard and multi-level sport dives within the described no-decompression limits. It is NOT A SUBSTITUTE
FOR CERTIFIED SCUBA INSTRUCTION including training in the principles of decompression.
DO NOT attempt to use this dive computer without reading this entire Instruction Manual. If you have any questions about the
manual or the instrument itself, contact your Suunto dealer before diving with the dive computer.
BACK-UP INSTRUMENTS
WARNING!
USE BACK-UP INSTRUMENTS! Make certain that you use back-up instrumentation including a depth gauge,
submersible pressure gauge, timer or watch, and have access to decompression tables whenever diving with this dive
computer.
