HOW TO USE DIVE COMPUTER FUNCTIONS
NITROX DIVING FUNCTION
The percentage of oxygen in the air used for ordinary diving is 21%. The higher percentage of oxygen in the gas mixture means a lower
percentage of nitrogen than ordinary air, reducing the risk of decompression sickness.
WARNING
This function should be used only when you dive with
a gas mixture of oxygen and nitrogen other than
ordinary air. When diving with air, be sure to set the
percentage of oxygen (FO
2) to “Air”.
Never use the watch for diving with any value other
than the actual percentage of oxygen in your tank set
for FO
2.
If you have set FO2 for nitrox diving, be sure to re-check
the FO2 setting before a dive. On the day following the
day you made a nitrox dive, “– –” is displayed in place
of the FO
2 setting, “Nx” flashes, and the watch cannot
be used for diving. In that case, set FO2 again.
By setting “Air” for FO2, the percentage of oxygen is set to 21% as in the ordinary air. FO2 can be set from 22% to 50% according to
the gas mixture of your scuba tank.
When a value between 22 and 50 is set for FO2, the nitrox mark “Nx” appears on the display, and the watch is shifted for nitrox diving.
The watch calculates the no-decompression limit, residual nitrogen and other data according to the FO2 you have set.
