WARNING!
SET THE CORRECT ALTITUDE/ PERSONAL ADJUSTMENT MODE!
When diving at altitudes greater than 700 m [2300 ft] the altitude/ personal
adjustment feature must be correctly selected in order for the computer to calculate
no-decompression status. The diver should also use this option to make the
calculation more conservative, whenever it is believed that factors which tend to
increase the possibility of DCS exist (see Section 3.5). Failure to properly select the
altitude/ personal adjustment mode correctly will result in erroneous data and can
greatly increase the risk of DCS.
WARNING!
THE SOLUTION
á
IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE AT ALTITUDES GREATER
THAN 2400 m (8000 ft)!
Diving at altitudes above this limit may significantly increase the risk of DCS.
When diving at higher altitudes (above 700 m / 2300 ft), it is essential that the
entered altitude mode, i.e. maximum altitude limit of the SOLUTION
á
, exceeds or
is equal to the altitude of the dive site. The altitude mode indicator must show either
A1 or A2, depending on the altitude. More information about this is given in Section
3.5, "High Altitude Dives and Personal Adjustment".
Decompression Dives
WARNING!
DO NOT USE THIS INSTRUMENT TO CONDUCT DECOMPRESSION DIVES!
Suunto does not recommend this instrument to be used to conduct decompression
dives. However, if through carelessness or emergency a diver is forced to exceed
the no-decompression limits on a dive, the SOLUTION
á
will provide
decompression information required for ascent. After this the SOLUTION
á
will
continue to provide subsequent interval and repetitive dive information.
Emergency Ascents
In the unlikely event that the SOLUTION
á
malfunctions during a dive, follow the
emergency procedures provided by your certified dive training or, alternatively,
immediately ascend at a rate slower than 10 m/min [33 ft/min] to a depth between 3
and 6 meters [10 to 20 ft] and stay there as long as your air supply will safely allow.
