• After finishing the decompression or at the end of a no-stop dive, the final stage of the ascent should
be as slow as possible.
• You MUST be familiar with all signs and symptoms of decompression sickness before using the Smart!
Seek IMMEDIATE treatment for decompression sickness should any of these signs or symptoms occur
after a dive! There is a direct correlation between the effectiveness of treatment and the delay bet-
ween the onset of symptoms and the treatment for decompression sickness.
• Only dive with Nitrox after you have been thoroughly instructed by a recognised institution.

Nitrox!
• Do not use the Smart without taking a set of accepted nitrox diving tables with you as a back up
decompression tool on every dive.
• If you switch off the acoustic alarm of the Smart you must pay careful attention to the visual attenti-
on messages and alarms on the face of the Smart. Failure to follow all alarms whether audible or not
may lead to serious injury or death due to decompression sickness, and/or drowning.
• Ensure that you have enough gas for the ascent. Do not use the RBT to the limit if prolonged ascents
or an increased rate of breathing (currents…) are expected.
• Diving while at altitude can considerably increase the risk of decompression sickness. Do not underta-
ke high altitude diving without being specifically trained in the special techniques of such diving.
• Never dive the Smart to the limits. Neither the Smart, nor any other diving computer or decompressi-
on table should be pushed to its limit. Give yourself a margin of safety by always leaving at least a few
minutes in the "no-stop box" before making your ascent.
Repetitive dives
• Do not start your next dive before your CNS O
2
% status has dropped below 40%.
• Diving with nitrox: Make sure your surface interval is long enough (just like diving with compressed
air). Plan for a minimum surface interval of three to four hours. Oxygen, too, needs sufficient time to
leave the body.
• Match gas mixture to the intended dive.
• Do not attempt a repetitive dive if the Microbubble-Warning is visible on the display.
• Plan a day without diving once a week.
• If you have to change computers, wait at least 24 hours before carrying out your next dive.
CE mark is used to show conformity with the European Union PPE directive 89/686/EEC and
89/336/EEC.
prEN 13319:
Rina SA (Gruppo Registro Italiano Navale) gave the EC type examination certificate prEN13319 for Smart
Pro and Smart Com concerning depth gauge and combined depth and time measuring devices. The fun-
ctional and safety requirements test methods are an European diving standard draft. Any information on
decompression obligation displayed by equipment covered by this standard is explicitly excluded from its
scope.
