GAGE MODE (depth gauge and timer).
In addition to the AIR, NITROX, and FREE modes, the computer also features a
fourthprogramcalledGAGE(depthgaugeandtimer)thatcanbeusedbythose
whoengagein"technical"dives. In this case,the instrument provides just the
basic dive parameters, i.e. depth, dive time, average depth, and temperature. It
doesnotcalculatetissuesaturationanddesaturation,whichmustbeprogrammed

thatallrecreationaldiving activities be conducted withintheguidelinesforno-

WARNING: The DONATELLO/MICHELANGELO/RAFFAELLO computer
is designed for recreational diving only. It is not intended for commercial
or professional use, requiring longer dive times and greater depths. Diving
beyondtheparametersofrecreationaldivingdramaticallyincreasestheriskof
decompressionsickness.
DANGER: Cressi discourages diving with gaseous mixtures other
than air without proper training. This is because the so-called
"technical" dives can expose the diver to different risks than
recreational dives, which can include serious physical harm and in
extreme cases even death.
WARNING:After a dive in GAGE mode, the instrument will not calculate
saturationanddesaturationforthefollowing48hours.
DANGER: Should you decide to reset the instrument by accessing
the system mode, the nitrogen memory will be deleted. Therefore,
the instrument will not be able to calculate the following dive.
Before using this function, wait for at least 48 hours after the most
recent diving activity.
