7. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
7.1 OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The Suunto SOLUTION
á
is a multi-functional sport diving instrument, which
provides information on depths, times, and decompression requirements. Its
electronic microprocessor mathematically models the absorption and release of
nitrogen during all phases of diving, including ascents, surface intervals and
repetitive dives.
WARNING!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE SOLUTION
á
WITHOUT FIRST READING THE
ENTIRE OWNER'S MANUAL!
The SOLUTION
á
must be activated before diving and operated correctly to provide
accurate and correct information.
No-Decompression Limits
The no-decompression limits displayed by the SOLUTION
á
upon activation are for
most dives to a single depth slightly more conservative than those permitted by the
U.S. Navy tables, Tables 7.1-2.
