Safety precautions

WARNING: ONLY TRAINED DIVERS SHOULD USE A DIVE COMPUTER! Insucient

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: THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK OF DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS (DCS) FOR ANY

DIVE PROFILE EVEN IF YOU FOLLOW THE DIVE PLAN PRESCRIBED BY DIVE TABLES OR A

DIVE COMPUTER. NO PROCEDURE, DIVE COMPUTER OR DIVE TABLE WILL PREVENT THE

POSSIBILITY OF DCS OR OXYGEN TOXICITY! An individual’s physiological makeup can vary

from day to day. The dive computer cannot account for these variations. You are strongly

advised to remain well within the exposure limits provided by the instrument to minimize the

risk of DCS. As an added measure of safety, you should consult a physician regarding your

ﬁtness before diving.

WARNING: YOU ARE ADVISED TO AVOID FLYING ANY TIME THE COMPUTER COUNTS

DOWN THE NO-FLY TIME. ALWAYS ACTIVATE THE COMPUTER TO CHECK THE REMAINING

NO-FLY TIME PRIOR TO FLYING! Flying or traveling to a higher altitude within the no-ﬂy time

can greatly increase the risk of DCS. Review the recommendations given by Divers Alert

Network (DAN). There can never be a ﬂying-after-diving rule that is guaranteed to completely

prevent decompression sickness!

WARNING: If you have a pacemaker, we recommend you do not scuba dive. Scuba

diving creates physical stresses on the body which may not be suitable for pacemakers.

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.

Suunto Tank POD

WARNING: Not for professional use! Suunto dive computers are intended for recreational

use only. The demands of commercial or professional diving may expose the diver to depths

and conditions that tend to increase the risk of decompression sickness (DCS). Therefore,

Suunto strongly recommends that the device not be used for any commercial or professional

diving activities.

WARNING: USE BACKUP INSTRUMENTS! Ensure that you use backup instrumentation,

including a depth gauge, submersible pressure gauge, timer or watch, and have access to

decompression tables whenever diving with a dive computer.

WARNING: For safety reasons, you should never dive alone. Dive with a designated

buddy. You should also stay with others for an extended time after a dive as the onset of

possible DCS may be delayed or triggered by surface activities.

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 you believe or conclude

that there is any problem with any computer function, abort the dive immediately and safely

return to the surface. Call Suunto Customer Support and return your computer to an

authorized Suunto Service Center for inspection.

WARNING: THE DIVE COMPUTER SHOULD NEVER BE TRADED OR SHARED BETWEEN

USERS WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION! Its information will not apply to someone who has not

been wearing it throughout a dive, or sequence of repetitive dives. Its dive proﬁles must

match that of the user. If it is left on the surface during any dive, the dive computer will give

inaccurate information for subsequent dives. No dive computer can take into account dives

made without the computer. Thus, any diving activity up to four days prior to initial use of the

computer may cause misleading information and must be avoided.

WARNING: DO NOT EXPOSE ANY PART OF YOUR DIVE COMPUTER TO ANY GAS MIX

CONTAINING MORE THAN 40% OXYGEN! Enriched air with greater oxygen content presents

a risk of ﬁre or explosion and serious injury or death.

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. To dive with Triox, Heliox and Nitrox or all of them, divers must have

specialized training for the type of diving they are doing.

WARNING: Do not use Suunto USB Cable in areas where ﬂammable gases are present.

Doing so may cause an explosion.

Suunto Tank POD

WARNING: Do not disassemble or remodel Suunto USB Cable in any way. Doing so may

cause an electric shock or ﬁre.

WARNING: Do not use Suunto USB cable if cable or parts are damaged.

WARNING: You must only charge your device using USB adapters that comply with the

IEC 60950-1 standard for limited power supply. Non-compliant adapters are a ﬁre hazard and

a risk to personal injury and might damage your Suunto device.

CAUTION: DO NOT allow the connector pins of the USB cable to touch any conductive

surface. This may short circuit the cable, making it unusable.

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.

2. Important notices

For your safety, use the Suunto Tank POD with the provided Suunto Flow Restrictor. The

restrictor should only be removed for cleaning or changing scuba gear. The restrictor must be

re-installed before using Suunto Tank POD again.

Suunto recommends that the installation or removal of Suunto Tank POD is done by a Suunto

authorized dealer or trained dive expert. Improper tool use and over tightening could damage

scuba equipment.

Ensure there are no other people in close proximity when you pressurize scuba gear.

If Suunto Tank POD does not connect to your dive computer, you must uninstall the Tank

POD. Do not leave a non-functioning Tank POD attached to your scuba gear. Bring the non-

functioning unit to your nearest authorized Suunto dive dealer for inspection.

This product can be used together with Suunto EON Steel, EON Core, and D5 for wireless

transmission of tank pressure to the dive computer. One or more Tank PODs can be paired

with the dive computer for multi-gas diving.

Suunto Tank POD is intended for use with compressed air only. Do not use it with any other

type of scuba diving. The compressed air supply must comply with EU standard EN12021:2014

requirements.

This product may only be installed to scuba gear that complies with the air supply

requirements of standard EN12021 and the Personal Protective Equipment requirements of

standard EN250.
