This User’s Guide is NOT intended for use as a training manual, or in any way as a 
substitute for proper training through a legitimate training agency approved by Poseidon 
AB. It is only intended to provide basic information concerning the Poseidon Xstream.

Throughout this Guide, special alert boxes have been inserted to draw attention to 
critical information. Three levels of alerts are used in conjunction with color-coded 
trisymbols, as follows:

DANGER:

 

Alert boxes that are RED contain extremely critical information 
related to the safety and well-being of the diver. Failure to comply 
with information contained in these boxes could lead to serious 
injury or death.

WARNING:

 

Alert boxes that are YELLOW contain vital information that may 
impact a diver’s safety and/or proper function of the Poseidon 
Xstream. Though generally not life-threatening, information 
contained in these boxes should not be ignored.

IMPORTANT:

 

Alert boxes that are BLUE contain important information about the 
proper care and maintenance of the Poseidon Xstream, and that 
may increase diver comfort or enhance enjoyment during dives.
