Safety precautions WARNING: ONLY TRAINED DIVERS SHOULD USE A DIVE COMPUTER! Insufficient training for any kind of diving, including freediving, may cause a diver to commit errors, such as incorrect use of gas mixtures or improper decompression, that may lead to serious injury or death. WARNING: You must read the printed quick guide and online user guide for your dive computer. Failure to do so may lead to improper use, serious injury or death.
WARNING: If you have a pacemaker, consult a doctor before using this device. The inductive frequency used by the device may interfere with pacemakers. WARNING: Allergic reactions or skin irritations may occur when product is in contact with skin, even though our products comply with industry standards. In such event, stop use immediately and consult a doctor. WARNING: Not for professional use! Suunto dive computers are intended for recreational use only.
WARNING: PERFORM PRE-CHECKS! Always check that your dive computer is functioning properly and has the correct settings before diving. Check that the display is working, the battery level is OK, tank pressure is correct, and so forth. WARNING: Check your dive computer regularly during a dive. If there is any apparent malfunction, abort the dive immediately and safely return to the surface.
WARNING: DO NOT DIVE WITH A GAS IF YOU HAVE NOT PERSONALLY VERIFIED ITS CONTENTS AND ENTERED THE ANALYZED VALUE INTO YOUR DIVE COMPUTER! Failure to verify tank contents and enter the appropriate gas values where applicable into your dive computer will result in incorrect dive planning information. WARNING: Using a dive planner software such as in Suunto DM5 is not a substitute for proper dive training. Diving with mixed gases has dangers that are not familiar to divers diving with air.
Emergency ascents In the unlikely event that the dive computer malfunctions during a dive, follow the emergency procedures provided by your certified dive training agency to immediately and safely ascend.

To set the dive time alarm: 1. While in a relevant dive mode, keep [DOWN] pressed. 2. Press [DOWN] or [UP] to scroll to ALARM TIME. 3. Press [UP] to toggle the alarm on and press [SELECT] to confirm. 4. Adjust the duration with [UP] or [DOWN] and accept with [SELECT]. 5. Press [MODE] to exit. 3.15 Error state (algorithm lock) Suunto Zoop Novo has warning indicators that alert you to react to certain situations that would significantly increase the risk of DCI.
In such a condition, you should descend back below the ceiling level to continue the decompression. If you fail to do so within three (3) minutes, Suunto Zoop Novo locks the algorithm calculation and displays ER instead, as shown below. Note that the ceiling value is no longer present. In this state, you significantly increase your risk of decompression sickness (DCS). Decompression information is not available for the next 48 hours after surfacing.
The three-step personal setting can be used to adjust the algorithm to fit your DCS susceptibility. Personal adjustment Explanation 0 Ideal conditions (default value). 1 Conservative. Some risk factors or conditions exist. 2 More conservative. Several risk factors or conditions exist. In addition to the personal setting, Suunto Zoop Novo can be adjusted for diving at different altitudes. This adjusts the decompression calculation according to the selected altitude adjustment.
3. Press [UP] to change the Personal adjustment and confirm with [SELECT]. 4. Press [UP] to change the Altitude adjustment and confirm with [SELECT]. 5. Press [MODE] to exit. WARNING: Traveling to a higher altitude can temporarily cause changes to the equilibrium of dissolved nitrogen in the body. It is recommended that you acclimatize to the new altitude by waiting at least three (3) hours before diving. 3.
NOTE: When deepstops are enabled, the length of mandatory safety stops is indicated in seconds. When the ascent rate exceeds 10 m (33 ft) per minute for more than five consecutive seconds, the microbubble build-up may be more than is allowed for in the decompression model. In this situation, Suunto Zoop Novo adds a mandatory safety stop to the dive. The time of this stop depends on the speed violation of the ascent rate. The STOP icon is shown in the display.
WARNING: NEVER ASCEND ABOVE THE CEILING! You must not ascend above the ceiling during your decompression. In order to avoid doing so by accident, you should stay somewhat below the ceiling. Deepstops activate when you dive deeper than 20 m (65.6 ft). If the dive timer is on the screen when deepstop activates, the timer is replaced with deepstop. After deepstop is over, the user can change between deepstop and the timer by long pressing the MODE button. Deepstops are presented the same way as safety stops.
2. Press [DOWN] to scroll to Deepstop and enter with [Select]. 3. Press [UP] to toggle on/off. 4. Press [MODE] to exit. 3.19 Sample rate The sample rate controls how often information from the dive is saved to the active log. The default sample rate is 20 seconds in air and nitrox modes, and 2 seconds in free dive mode. To change the sample rate: 1. While in a dive mode, keep [DOWN] pressed. 2. Press [UP] to scroll to Sample Rate and press [SELECT]. 3.
3.21 Stopwatch The stopwatch can be used to measure elapsed and split times. To activate the stopwatch: 1. While in time mode, scroll through the bottom row view by pressing [UP] or [DOWN] until the stopwatch is displayed. 2. Press [SELECT] to start/stop the stopwatch. 3. Press [DOWN] to take split times. 4. Keep [SELECT] pressed to reset the stopwatch. After stopping the stopwatch, you can scroll through the split times with [DOWN]. You can also use the stopwatch while diving for various timing purposes.
Start and stop the stopwatch by pressing [SELECT]. NOTE: If a deepstop activates while you are using the stopwatch, the timer field is not visible. 3.22 Surface and no-fly time Once back at the surface, Suunto Zoop Novo continues to provide post-dive safety information and alarms. If, after your dive, you need to wait until flying, the no-fly symbol displays in all modes. To access further information about your surface and no-fly times, enter dive mode.
If decompression is omitted during a dive so that Suunto Zoop Novo enters error state (see 3.15 Error state (algorithm lock)), the no-fly time is always 48 hours. If a dive is done in Gauge mode (bottom timer), the no-fly time is 48 hours. WARNING: YOU ARE ADVISED TO AVOID FLYING ANY TIME THE COMPUTER COUNTS DOWN THE NO-FLY TIME.
after their last dive to fly in an aircraft with cabin pressure up to 2,400 m (8,000 ft). The only two exceptions to this recommendation are: • If a diver has less than two (2) hours total accumulated dive time in the last 48 hours, a 12 hour surface interval before flying is recommended. • Following any dive that required a decompression stop, flying should be delayed for at least 24 hours, and if possible, for 48 hours.
Reacting to a dive deeper than the previous dive Adapting to rapid ascents which produce high microbubble (silent-bubble) build-up • Incorporating consistency with real physical laws for gas kinetics The Suunto RGBM predicts both dissolved and free gas in the blood and tissues of divers. It is a significant advancement on the classic Haldane models, which do not predict free gas. The Suunto RGBM provides additional safety through its ability to adapt to a variety of situations and dive profiles. • • 3.23.
3.23.2 Altitude diving The atmospheric pressure is lower at high altitudes than at sea level. After traveling to a higher altitude, you will have additional nitrogen in your body, compared to the equilibrium situation at the original altitude. This 'additional' nitrogen is released gradually over time and equilibrium is restored. It is recommended that you acclimatize to a new altitude by waiting at least three hours before making a dive.
3.23.3 Oxygen exposure The oxygen exposure calculations are based on currently accepted exposure time limit tables and principles. The dive computer calculates separately the Central Nervous System oxygen toxicity (CNS) and the Pulmonary Oxygen toxicity, the latter measured by the addition of Oxygen Toxicity Units (OTU). Both fractions are scaled so that the diver’s maximum tolerated exposure for each is 100%.
3.24 Tones Device tones can be turned on or off. When tones are off, there are no audible alarms. To set tones: 1. While in time mode, keep [DOWN] pressed. 2. Press [DOWN] or [UP] to scroll to Tones and press [SELECT]. 3. Press [DOWN] or [UP] to toggle on/off and confirm with [SELECT]. 4. Press [MODE] to exit. 3.25 Water contact The water contact is located on the side of the case. When submerged, the water contact poles are connected by the conductivity of the water.
prevent automatic activation/deactivation. See 4.1 Handling guidelines. NOTE: Moisture build-up around the water contact may cause the dive mode to activate. This can happen, for example, when washing your hands or sweating. To save battery power, deactivate the water contact by cleaning it and/or drying it with a soft towel.
4 CARE AND SUPPORT 4.1 Handling guidelines The Suunto Zoop Novo dive computer is a sophisticated precision instrument. Although it is designed to withstand the rigors of diving, you must treat it with the same proper care and caution as any other precision instrument.
