8-3. Safety Stop
The Z1 features a Safety Stop function.
After a dive of 10m/33ft or deeper, when ascending without a decompres-
sion stop, a 3-minute countdown timer will activate at a depth of 6m/20ft.
This timer will continue to run from a depth of 6m/20ft and will stay on until
you reach a depth of 1.6m/5ft. It is highly recommended that you not ascend
to the surface without first stopping at approximately 6m/20ft until the
3-minute timer completes its count-down.
1. At the depth of 6m/20ft, the Safety Stop alarm “pi” comes on and STOP
is displayed.
2. The countdown timer displays (03:00), and the 3-minutes timer starts
its countdown.
3. After 3 minutes, [

OK] is displayed for 5 seconds. At this point you
can fi nish your ascent to the surface.
