Your COSMIQ

will beep when you are 3 minutes away from reaching your no-
decompression limit. It will then sound every minute until the no-decompression limit
is exceeded.
If you exceed your no-decompression limit, your COSMIQ
+
will provide the following
information to help you safely perform your mandatory decompression stop.
∙∙ The letters CELashonthescreenalongwithanarrowinstructingyoutoascend
to the ceiling level.
∙∙ The ceiling and stopindicatorsashalongwiththeceilingdepthandthe
mandatory decompression stop time.
∙∙ The word dECO appears next to the number of minutes since exceeding your NDL.
∙∙ The alarm will beep 10 times for a duration of 20 seconds and will continue this
cycle every 10 seconds for a total of 3 minutes.
To perform your mandatory decompression stop, ascend to the ceiling depth and
stay there until the mandatory stop countdown time has elapsed. Do not ascend
above the ceiling depth until the Stop Countdown Time has elapsed. Once the stop
countdown time is over, it is safe to ascend to the next ceiling depth (if required) or to
the surface.
Note that the Ceiling Depth and Stop Countdown Time values may disappear from
the screen if you ascend soon after exceeding your NDL and your COSMIQ
+
calculates
that your nitrogen levels have receded back to safe levels. You should still conduct a
regular safety stop at the end of your dive.
