EN 250 Respiratory equipment - Open circuit self-contained compressed air diving ap-

paratus – Requirements, testing, marking.

The cylinder pressure gauge and the parts of this product used in measuring the cylin-

der pressure meet the requirements set in the section of the European Standard EN

250 that concern cylinder pressure measurements. The instruments must be serviced

by an authorized dealer every second year or after 200 dives (whichever comes ﬁrst).

EN 13319

EN 13319 ”Diving accessories – Depth gauges and combined depth and time measu-

ring devices – Functional and safety requirements, test methods” is a European diving

depth gauge standard. The D9 is designed to comply with this standard.

WARNING!

READ THIS MANUAL! Carefully read this instruction manual in its entirety pay-

ing close attention to all warnings listed below, including section 1.1. ”Safety Pre-

cautions”. Make sure that you fully understand the use, displays and limitations of

the dive computer because any confusion resulting from neglecting to follow this

instruction manual or from improper use of this device may cause a diver to com-

mit errors that may lead to serious injury or death.

WARNING!

This product contains a Lithium cell battery. To reduce risk of ﬁre or burns, do not

disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in ﬁre or wa-

ter. Replace only with manufacturer speciﬁed batteries. Recycle or dispose of us-

ed batteries properly.

WARNING!

NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE! Suunto dive computers are intended for recrea-

tional use only. The demands of commercial or professional diving may expose the

diver to depths and exposures that tend to increase the risk of decompression ill-

ness (DCI). Therefore, Suunto strongly recommends that the device be not used

for commercial or professional diving activity.

WARNING!

ONLY DIVERS TRAINED IN THE PROPER USE OF SCUBA DIVING EQUIP-

MENT SHOULD USE A 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!

THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK OF DECOMPRESSION ILLNESS (DCI) FOR ANY

DIVE PROFILE EVEN IF YOU FOLLOW THE DIVE PLAN PRESCRIBED BY DI-

VE TABLES OR A DIVE COMPUTER. NO PROCEDURE, DIVE COMPUTER OR

DIVE TABLE WILL PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF DCI OR OXYGEN TOXICI-

TY! An individual’s physiological make up can vary from day to day. The dive com-

puter cannot account for these variations. You are strongly advised to remain well

within the exposure limits provided by the instrument to minimize the risk of DCI.

As an added measure of safety, you should consult a physician regarding your ﬁt-

ness before diving.

WARNING!

SUUNTO STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT SPORT DIVERS LIMIT THEIR MA-

XIMUM DEPTH TO 40 M [130 FT] OR TO THE DEPTH CALCULATED BY THE

COMPUTER BASED ON THE SELECTED O2%AND A MAXIMUM PO2OF 1.4

BAR!

WARNING!

DIVES WITH REQUIRED DECOMPRESSION STOPS ARE NOT RECOMMEN-

DED. YOU SHOULD ASCEND AND BEGIN DECOMPRESSION IMMEDIATELY

WHEN THE DIVE COMPUTER SHOWS YOU THAT A DECOMPRESSION STOP

IS REQUIRED! Note the blinking ASC TIME symbol and the upward pointing arrow.

WARNING!

USE BACK-UP INSTRUMENTS! Make sure that you use back-up instrumentati-

on including a depth gauge, submersible pressure gauge, timer or watch, and have

access to decompression tables whenever diving with the dive computer.

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, al-

titude, personal, safety/deepstop and RGBM adjustments are correct.

WARNING!

YOU ARE ADVISED TO AVOID FLYING ANY TIME THE COMPUTER COUNTS

DOWN THE NO-FLYING TIME. ALWAYS ACTIVATE THE COMPUTER TO

CHECK THE REMAINING NO-FLY TIME PRIOR TO FLYING! Flying or trave-

ling to a higher altitude within no-ﬂy time can greatly increase the risk of DCI. Re-

view the recommendations given by Diver’s Alert Network (DAN) in chapter 6.5.4

“Flying After Diving”.

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 di-

ve, 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.

WARNING!

DO NOT EXPOSE THE D9´S OPTIONAL PRESSURE TRANSMITTER TO ANY

GAS MIX CONTAINING MORE THAN 40% OXYGEN! Enriched air with greater

oxygen content presents a risk of ﬁre or explosion and serious injury or death.

WARNING!

DO NOT DIVE WITH A CYLINDER OF ENRICHED AIR IF YOU HAVE NOT PER-

SONALLY VERIFIED ITS CONTENTS AND ENTERED THE ANALYZED VALUE

INTO YOUR DIVE COMPUTER! Failure to verify cylinder contents and enter the

appropriate O2% into your dive computer will result in incorrect dive planning infor-

mation.

WARNING!

THE DIVE COMPUTER WILL NOT ACCEPT FRACTIONAL PERCENTAGE VA-

LUES OF OXYGEN CONCENTRATION. DO NOT ROUND UP FRACTIONAL

PERCENTAGES! For example, 31.8% oxygen should be entered as 31%. Roun-

ding up will cause nitrogen percentages to be understated and will affect decom-

pression calculations. If there is a desire to adjust the computer to provide more

conservative calculations, use the personal adjustment feature to affect decom-

pression calculations or reduce the PO2setting to affect oxygen exposure.

WARNING!

SET THE CORRECT ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT MODE! When diving at altitudes

greater than 300 m [1000 ft] the Altitude Adjustment feature must be correctly se-

lected in order for the computer to calculate the decompression status. The dive

computer is not intended for use at altitudes greater than 3000 m [10000 ft]. Fai-

lure to select the correct Altitude Adjustment setting or diving above the maximum

altitude limit will result in erroneous dive and planning data.

WARNING!

SET THE CORRECT PERSONAL ADJUSTMENT MODE! Whenever it is belie-

ved that factors that tend to increase the possibility of DCI exist, it is recommended

that you use this option to make the calculations more conservative. Failure to se-

lect the correct Personal Adjustment setting will result in erroneous dive and plan-

ning data.
