The advantage of Suunto RGBM is additional safety through its ability to adapt to a variety of situations and dive profiles. Page 12 However, when the gas mix is altered, the oxygen content of the mix is generally increased. This increase exposes the diver to an oxygen toxicity risk not usually considered in recreational diving. In order to manage this risk, the dive compu- ter tracks the time and intensity of the oxygen exposure and provides the diver with information to adjust the dive plan in order to maintain oxygen exposure within reasonably safe limits.

Page Dive Planning [Plan] 3. By pressing the down arrow M TIME button, the dive computer will calculate and show the next deeper no-decompression limits in 3 m [10 ft] increments ending at 45 m [ ft]. User Definable Functions and Alarms The GEKKO has several user definable functions and depth and time related alarms that you can set according to your personal preference.
Page Bookmark All information on the display is labeled Fig. Page Consumed Bottom Time Cbt As your body absorbs more nitrogen, more seg- ments start to appear. Green Zone - As a safety precaution Suunto recommends you should maintain the no-decompression bar graph within the green zone.
Segments start to appear when the available no-decompression time decreases below , 80, 60, 50, 40, 30 and 20 minutes. Page 26 In this case it will be more manageable to maintain an additional distance below the ceiling, to make sure that the waves do not lift you above the ceiling. Suunto recommends that decompression takes place deeper than 4 m [13 ft], even if the indicated ceiling is shallower. Decompression will now begin, but is very slow. You should therefore con- tinue your ascent.
Page Diving In Nitrox Mode 3. If you are educated for nitrox diving and you plan to make nitrox dives, it is recommended that you set the dive computer permanently to its NITROX Mode. Page At The Surface icity calculations are based on the factors listed in section 6. Page 33 Following any dive that required a decompres- sion stop, flying should be delayed for at least 24 hours, and if possible, for 48 hours. Page Audible And Visual Alarms 3. A short single beep occurs, when: the dive computer is activated.
Three single beeps with a two second interval occurs, when: the no-decompression dive turns into a decompression stop dive. At that point the PO is less than 0. Continuous beeps for 3 minutes occur, when: the set oxygen partial pressure limit is exceeded. The maximum depth is replaced with a current blinking PO value.
Page Personal Adjustment Traveling to a higher elevation can temporarily cause a change in the equilibri- um of dissolved nitrogen in the body. It is recommended that you acclimate to the new altitude by waiting at least three hours before making a dive.
Page Error Conditions 3. If you do not re- spond to its warnings, the dive computer will enter an Error Mode, indicating that the risk of DCI has greatly increased. Page Menu Based Modes 4.

If the mode does not match the altitude or personal conditions see section 3. If the flexibility of the spring bars has reduced, have them replaced immediately by your SUUNTO dealer or distributor. Page Maintenance A leak must be corrected without delay, as moisture will serious- ly damage the unit, even beyond repair. SUUNTO does not take any responsibil- ity for damage caused by moisture in the dive computer, if the instructions of Page Battery Replacement 5. It is advisable to contact an authorized Suunto dealer for battery replacement.
It is imperative that the change is made in a proper manner to avoid any leakage of water into the battery compartment or computer.

In case of a leak or any other damage, bring the dive computer to an authorized SUUNTO dealer or distributor for check and repair.
