COMPLICATIONS
The preceding information has described standard dive operations. Your new ProPlus X is also designed to help you to the surface in less than ideal
situations. The following is a description of these situations. Take some time to familiarize yourself with these operations before diving your ProPlus X.
DECOMPRESSION
Decompression (deco) mode activates when theoretical No Decompression time and depth limits are exceeded.
• Once within 10 ft (3 m) below the required Stop Depth (stop zone) and Stop Time will be displayed in amber.
To fulfill your decompression obligation, you should make a safe controlled ascent to a depth slightly deeper than, or equal to, the required stop
depth indicated and decompress for the stop time indicated. The amount of decompression credit time that you receive is dependent on Depth, with
slightly less credit given the deeper you are below the Stop Depth indicated. You should stay slightly deeper than the required Stop Depth indicated
until the next shallower Stop Depth appears. Then you can slowly ascend to that indicated Stop Depth but not shallower.
DECOMPRESSION ENTRY
Upon entry into decompression (deco) the audible alarm will sound until the audible is silenced. The message DECO ENTRY, up arrows, and full Tis-
sue Loading Bar Graph will flash. Additionally, the stop depth and stop time values will be displayed.

DECOMPRESSION STOP MAIN
Decompression (deco) Stop Main will display upon ascending to within 10 ft (3 m) below the Deco Stop depth. The message "DECO" will be dis-
played, and the Stop Depth and Stop Time color will change to amber.

CONDITIONAL VIOLATION
Upon ascent above the required Decompression (deco) Stop depth, operation will enter Conditional Violation during which time no off gassing
credit will be given. The Audible alarm will sound. Additionally, the full Tissue Loading Bar Graph, down arrows, and DOWN TO STOP message will
flash until the audible alarm is silenced, then the Tissue Loading Bar Graph will be solid.
• The down arrows continues to flash until descending below the required Stop Depth (within stop zone).
• If you descend deeper than the required Decompression Stop before 5 minutes elapse, Decompression operation will continue with no off gassing
credit given for time above the stop. Instead, for each minute above the stop, 1½ minutes of penalty time will be added to the required stop time.
• The added penalty (decompression) time will have to be worked off before obtaining off gassing credit.
• Once the penalty time is worked off, and off gassing credit begins, required Decompression Stop Depths and Time will decrease toward zero. The
Tissue Loading Bar Graph will recede into the No Decompression zone, and operation will revert to No Decompression mode.
