Quantum Owner's Manual
FOR YOUR SAFETY
All warnings and cautions are identified with the triangle symbol. Whenever you see
a warning or a caution, read it carefully, as it may protect you from serious injury or
damage to the product. Read the manual in its entirety before attempting to use the
Quantum computer.
WARNING: Decompression sickness (aka, “the bends”) is an inherent
risk of SCUBA diving. Even if you properly follow all the instructions in
this manual, and dive within the recreational limits of SCUBA diving,
you still run the risk of getting decompression sickness, or some other
inherent risk of SCUBA diving. Unless you are fully aware of these risks
and are willing to personally accept and assume responsibility for those
risks, do not use the Quantum dive computer
The Quantum, or any other dive computer, does not actually monitor changes that
occur in your body as you dive. Rather, it is performing calculations using algo-
rithms developed by leading decompression experts and backed by years of research
and thousands of dives. However, these algorithms cannot account for factors like
dehydration, fatigue, obesity, or poor physical conditioning. Therefore, always leave
a comfortable safety margin in respect to no-decompression time and ascent speed.
The computer is designed to ASSIST you in making a dive, not to CONTROL your
dive.
