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 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 decompres-
sion 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 commer-
cial 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.
