• The percentage of oxygen (FO2) in the nitrox mix being used must be 'set before
each nitrox dive', unless the FO2 50% Default feature is set OFF (a user setting).
• The Dive Planner provides predicted times for subsequent dives. Depending on cyl-
inder size, breathing gas consumption, and oxygen accumulation, you may have less
time available than indicated because of breathing gas quantity or other limitations.
• Until it has shut itself off, you must not use the XP 5 at a different altitude
than the altitude at which it was activated. Doing so will result in an error
equal to the difference in barometric pressure, and possibly a false dive
mode with erroneous data.
• To provide proper altitude compensation, the XP 5 must manually
activated at the new altitude. Dive computers, such as the XP 5cannot
sense changes in barometric pressure if activated by immersion in water
at higher altitudes.
• Use the Yellow Caution Zone of the Nitrogen Bar Graph as a visual reference to pro-
vide a greater margin of protection between you and the No Decompression Limits.
• Every effort should be made to keep each of the Bar Graphs in the green throughout
your dives to reduce your risk of exposure to decompression sickness, oxygen toxic-
ity, and the effects of excessive ascent rates.
