Owner's Manual blood pressure monitor

Section 2: Diving with the Monitor 3 Air

Decompression Stop Information

If you exceed the no-stop limits, the Monitor 3 will

replace the no-stop time with the deepest (first) decom-

pression stop depth (in feet) along with the amount of

decompression time (in minutes) at that depth. When a

decompression stop has been completed, the next

shallower decompression stop is displayed, along with its

required stop time. When all decompression stops are

completed, the DECO arrow disappears and the NO STOP

arrow reappears.

WARNING: If you ascend shallower than the

required decompression stop depth, the DECO

arrow will start flashing and an acoustic alarm will

sound. Due to the formation of microbubbles,

decompression obligation can increase greatly if a

decompression stop is ignored. When the surface

is reached during the decompression alarm, the

DECO arrow continues to flash to point out the

risk of a decompression accident. If you do not

descend immediately to the required stop depth,

the Monitor 3 will enter SOS Mode. Any decom-

pression violation longer than one minute is

entered in the computers logbook. Ignoring

decompression stops may lead to serious injury

or death due to decompression sickness.
