DANGER: A underwater diving computer can never
completely eliminate the risk of decompression sickness.
The computer does not take into any account a diver’s
physical conditions which may vary daily. It is recommen-
ded that a medical examination is completed prior to com-
mencing any underwater diving activities, and to assess
one’s own physical condition before each dive.
Circumstances such as cold water temperature (less than
10°C – 50F), poor physical condition, multiple dives made
on subsequent days, weariness, use of alcohol, drugs, or
medication and dehydration my increase the risk of
decompression sickness.. It is recommended to avoid all
such situations that may increase the likelihood of decom-
pression sickness.
WARNING: The Archimedes II should be used only by
properly trained and certified divers. No computer will
replace proper underwater training.
WARNING: The Cressi-sub Archimedes II computer is
designed for recreational sport diving only. It is not desi-
gned for commercial use requiring increased diving activity.
WARNING: Before using the computer, please check the
battery life status and the visibility of the LCD display. DO
NOT dive if the instruments’ indications are not clear and if
the battery is low.
WARNING: While diving, be equipped with a depth
gauge, diving watch and dive tables. Additionally, check
the air capacity in your diving cylinders.
m
DANGER: Do not dive at high altitudes before the
instrument has automatically switched on the program
corresponding to the altitude at which you are. Please
check the altitude level on the display. Please be advised
that diving at higher altitudes than 9,842 ft. above sea level
involves an increase risk of decompression sickness.
m
DANGER:
Before flying, wait until the icon "No Fly
Time" on the computer display has disappeared.
WARNING: The information offered on the computer is
strictly personal for the individual who used the instru-
ment during a dive or a series of dives.
m
DANGER: Cressi-sub discourages the use of this
instrument in decompression dives. In the event that no-
decompression has been exceeded, the Archimedes
II
Cressi-sub computer will display information related to
decompression, surfacing and surface interval times.
WARNING: Do not dive using Nitrox mixtures without
checking the contents and correct O2 percentage (FO2).
After doing so, set your computer with the mixture(s)’
value so that it may process the decompression compu-
tations. Please be advised that the computer only accepts
FO2 values to the nearest whole number. (i.e. 36% not
35.8% )
