may change while you are decompressing.
The graphical depth scale on the SOLUTION
á
will show your ceiling. All of the
depth bars shallower than your ceiling will blink. For example, if your ceiling is at 3
m[10 ft], all of the bars between 0 and 3 m [10 ft] will blink.
When the sea surface is rough, it may be difficult to maintain a constant depth near
the surface. In this case it will be more manageable to maintain an additional
distance below to the ceiling, to make sure that the waves do not lift you above the
ceiling. SUUNTO recommends that decompression takes place deeper than 4 m [13
ft], even if the indicated ceiling is shallower.
NOTE: It will take more time and more air to decompress below the ceiling than at
the ceiling.
Display Below Floor
The blinking ASC TIME and two upwards pointing arrows indicate that you are
below the floor. You should start your ascent immediately.
Display Above Floor
When you ascend above the floor, the ASC TIME display stops blinking and the two
upward pointing arrows disappear. Decompression will now begin, but is very slow.
You should therefore continue your ascent.
Display At Ceiling
When you reach the ceiling, the display will show you two arrows pointing toward
each other. Do not ascend above this depth. As described above, it is
recommended to do the decompression stop below the ceiling, to avoid accidental
ascent above the ceiling.
Display Above Ceiling
If you ascend above the ceiling, a downward pointing arrow will appear and
continuous beeping starts. In addition a blinking error warning Er reminds you that
you have only three minutes to correct the situation. You must immediately descend
to or below the ceiling.
If you continue to violate the decompression, the SOLUTION
á
goes into a
permanent ERROR MODE. In this mode the SOLUTION
á
can only be used as a
depth gauge and timer. You must not dive again for at least 48 hours. See also
Section 3.6, Error Conditions.
