NiTek Plus Dive Computer User Manual
Warnings
This information has been developed for your safety. Please read
and understand this manual completely before using your NiTek
Plus dive computer.
Important safety information:
•
Before using your NiTek Plus, it is extremely important that
you read the following points—as well as similar warning
and caution notices that appear throughout this manual.
Failure to do so could result in damage to or loss of
equipment, serious personal injury, or death.
•
The NiTek Plus is designed for use by certified divers who
have maintained a sufficient level of knowledge and skill
proficiency through a combination of formal training,
ongoing study, and experience. It is not intended for use by
persons who lack these qualifications and thus, may not be
able to identify, assess, and manage the risks scuba diving
entails. Use of the NiTek Plus in conjunction with Enriched
Air Nitrox (EANx) requires that divers be trained and
certified for Nitrox diving.
•
The NiTek Plus is not intended for use by commercial or
military divers whose activities may take them beyond the
commonly accepted depth limits for recreational or technical
diving.
•
Although the NiTek Plus is capable of calculating
decompression stop requirements, users must remember that
dives requiring mandatory stage decompression carry
substantially greater risk than dives made well within no-
decompression limits.
•
The NiTek Plus is designed for use by one diver at a time.
Divers should not share a single NiTek Plus—or any other
dive computer—on the same dive. Additionally, no diver
should lend their NiTek Plus to anyone else until it
calculates that no measurable residual nitrogen remains after
previous dives and no longer displays the “desaturation
time” indicator while in time mode. Further, no diver should
use their NiTek Plus for repetitive dives—unless that same
properly functioning NiTek Plus has accompanied them on
