Its information will not apply to someone who has not been wearing it throughout a
dive or sequence of repetitive dives. Its dive profiles must match that of the user. If it
is left on the surface during any dive, it will give inaccurate information for
subsequent dives.
No dive computer can take into account dives made without the computer. Thus any
diving activity 48 hours prior to initial use of the computer may give misleading
information and must be avoided.
