• The percentage of oxygen (FO2) in the Nitrox mix being used must be
'set before each Nitrox dive'.
• Until it has shut itself off, you should not use the d.i.P at a different Al-
titude than the Altitude at which it was activated. Doing so will result
in an error equal to the difference in barometric pressure, and possibly
a false dive mode with erroneous data.
• To provide proper Altitude compensation for Depth and PO2, the d.i.P
must be manually activated at the new Altitude. Digital instruments
such as the d.i.P cannot sense changes in barometric pressure if acti-
vated by immersion in water at higher Altitudes.
• Every effort should be made to keep the Ascent Bar Graph in the nor-
mal zone throughout your dives to reduce your risk of the effects of ex-
cessive Ascent Rates.
• In the event that High PO2 occurs, you should focus on reducing PO2
by slowly Ascending to a shallower depth at a safe rate in accordance
with your training to reduce the risk of oxygen toxicity.
