ENGLISH

 DANGER: means a situation of serious danger or even
possible death for the diver.

IMPORTANT: means a situation that may become dan­gerous for the diver or that can damage the equipment.

NOTE: means important information is being provided .

IMPORTANT: Read these instructions! Carefully read this

User’s Manual, including the section on safety rules. Be
sure that you have fully understood the use, functions, and
limits of your dive computer before using it!

 DANGER: No dive computer can guarantee full protec-
tion against Decompression Sickness (DCS). You need to
understand that there is no procedure in place nor dive
computer that fully eliminates the risk of DCS. No dive com­puter can determine parameters, such as physiological vari­ations between individuals, which are also subject to daily
changes. It is advisable to consult a doctor and check your
physical condition before every dive. You should also
remember that several factors may affect susceptibility to
decompression sickness, such as exposure to cold (less
than 50 °F temperature), physical fitness below the norm,
repetitive dives in the same day or in consecutive days, diver

IMPORTANT: The use of this dive computer is strictly per­sonal. The information it provides exclusively refers to the
diver who has used it during the single or repetitive dives.



DANGER:

Cressi-sub advises you against using this
dive computer for decompression dives. However, should
you exceed the safety curve limits, Archimede Cressi­Sub dive computer can supply you with all the information
you need for decompression, ascent, as well as proper
surface interval time

.

 DANGER: Never dive with a Nitrox cylinder without
having personally checked its content and the proper O2
percentage. You should then input this value in the com­puter. Remember that the dive computer does not accept
FO2 decimal figures. Always round down the figure
(example 35.8% must be rounded down to 35%).

 DANGER: for safety reasons, in your Archimede dive
computer, PO2 default value is set at 1.4 bar also for dives
with air. If you need to further raise the safety margin, PO2
can be set at lower values, down to 1.0 bar, with 0.1bar
decreases at a time.

 DANGER: : avoid all high risk profile dives, such as the
so called “yo-yo” dives, reversed profile dives, or repetitive
dives in the same day or in consecutive days. They are
potentially risky and involve a high risk of DCS!

IMPORTANT: Turn on the safety factor whenever you
realize that there are factors likely to increase your DCS
risk. You will thus perform a more conservative dive.

NOTE: When flying, it is recommended to keep the dive
computer with you in the pressurized cabin.

above sea level, DCS risk is significantly higher.

NOTE:

When you change the max PO2 value setting (fig.

3), the computer tells you the maximum depth you can
reach with Nitrox (MAX).

IMPORTANT:

PO2 default setting by the manufacturer is

1.4 bar for both dives with air and Nitrox. In this way, a safe
dive is ensured in compliance with most recently recom­mended parameters for recreational dives. However, you
can also change the PO2 as indicated in Chapter 3.4.1.
The new setting will be kept until the next reset by the
diver.

NOTE: by keeping the B ( ) button pressed, the dive
computer will automatically stop on the standard Nitrox 1
(EAN1 32) setting - which corresponds to 32% of O2 in the
Nitrox supply - or on the ( )setting. Obviously, any other
FO2 value from 21% to 50 % can also be set, with 1%
increases at a time.

NOTE: when changing the oxygen percentage in your
Nitrox supply, the dive computer also tells you the maxi­mum depth that you can reach with that specific supply
(MAX).

always check the right setting of the time and
date, in order to have proper records in the computer log­book.
