Before using the SYMBIOS HANDSET , read the manual in its entirety and get familiar with all the functions of the device.
Do not use SYMBIOS HANDSET , it shows any signs of damage or malfunction. Contact the HALCYON or an authorized repair center.
The user must have successfully completed a course in scuba diving. The user must have knowledge about the potential risks and hazards of scuba diving.
The risk from decompression sickness (DSC) or Oxygen toxicity for any dive profile, even if you follow dive tables, or a dive computer, cannot be totally eliminated. This risk also depends on the individual diver’s physiological condition, which can vary from day to day. The SYMBIOS HANDSET cannot account for these variations.
We strongly advise you to stay within the exposure limits provided by the instrument to minimize the risk of DCS.
No decompression algorithm can give a guaranteed safe decompression. It is your responsibility to be trained, dive safely, carry backup tables and instrumentation and compare any decompression schedules generated with the SYMBIOS HANDSET against established diving tables.
Before diving you should consult a physician regarding your fitness to dive.
Do not ignore warning signs and indicators on the SYMBIOS HANDSET , as this may result in serious injuries and can be even lethal.
The SYMBIOS HANDSET should never be shared between differed divers. Use always the same dive computer for repetitive dives. There is an in-built memory that keeps track of a diver’s diving history. Substituting the SYMBIOS HANDSET in between a series of repetitive dives may result in incorrect decompression calculations.
Do not fly, or travel to high altitudes while the NO-FLY indication remains active. Flying while the SYMBIOS HANDSET displays NO FLY can result in serious injury or death.
If you omit one or more decompression stops, a symbol will indicate the current ceiling to which you should descend. If you still ignore these warnings, there is NO additional ERROR OR LOCKOUT. Do not ignore these warnings, decompression stops must be performed for your own safety and on your own responsibility.
For safety reasons, you should always dive with backup instruments, including a depth gauge, pressure gauge, dive watch, or a backup dive computer, and have access to decompression tables while planning your dive with the SYMBIOS HANDSET .
If you do not fully understand how to use the SYMBIOS HANDSET , or if you have any questions, contact your instructor or your authorized dealer before diving with it.
Do not exceed the limits of your training/certification level.
Always carry and frequently check a backup pO2 monitoring device.
Always carry and frequently check a backup dive computer..
The risk of decompression sickness (DSC) or Oxygen toxicity for any dive profile, even if you follow dive tables, or a dive computer, cannot be totally eliminated. This risk also depends on the individual diver’s physiological condition, which can vary from day to day. The SYMBIOS HANDSET cannot account for these variations.
We strongly advise you to stay within the exposure limits provided by the instrument to minimize the risk of DCS. However, even if you stay within recreational limits and the no decompression limits given by this dive computer, DCS may appear.
Before diving you should consult a physician regarding your fitness to dive.
In recreational diving do not dive with a pO2 > 1.4 bar. Diving with a high pO2 may lead to O2 intoxication
Never dive with a pO2 > 1.6 bar. Diving with a pO2 >1.6 bar will lead to O2 intoxication.
Do not dive deeper than what your current diving qualification allows you to.
NITROX diving requires proper training. Do not dive with NITROX without a NITROX certification.
TRIMIX diving requires proper training. Do not dive with TRIMIX without a TRIMIX certification.
Do not use breathing gases other than air, in particular hypoxic TRIMIX breathing gases with a O2 fraction of less than 20%, unless you have been properly trained in using those and unless you have a TRIMIX certification
Do not violate the ceiling depth during your decompression. In order to avoid doing so by accident, you should stay slightly below the ceiling depth. Staying deeper than the required ceiling depth will increase your total time to surface
