DANGER
All Divers using the XLDS and associated man
worn equipment, must be medically fit. All

the
requirements of diving physicals.
WARNING
The Lightweight System must only be used with
properly maintained and serviced Helmets,
Masks, Emergency Gas Systems, and support
equipment, as outlined in this User Guide.
DANGER

surface supplied diving and surface supplied
diving operations should use this equipment.
Failure to have proper training and experience
could result in injury or death.
DANGER
The XLDS-RDC-2, and XLDS-RDC-3 high-
pressure systems, should not be used with
pure oxygen, or oxygen enriched breathing
gases, with an oxygen percentage greater
than 21% by volume. Use of oxygen or
oxygen enriched breathing gases in the high-
pressure systems, may result in fire or
explosion, resulting in serious injury or death.
DANGER
When the RDC-2 or RDC-3 is used as the XLDS,
the Consoles must be configured and
operated with the complete XLDS system only.
It must be used within the guidelines of the
operational specifications of the user guide.
Only demand mode Helmets and Mask
models, that have been Certified by Dive Lab,
for use with the complete system should be
used. Failure to follow the instructions in the
Guide may result in serious injury or death.
