Safety considerations

I UWATEC Aladin TEC 2G

You must carefully read and understand this entire manual before using your

Aladin

TEC 2G

Diving has many inherent risks. Even if you follow the instructions of this

manual in a careful manner, it is still possible that you may be seriously injured

or die from decompression sickness, oxygen toxicity or some other inherent

risk of scuba with Nitrox or compressed air. Unless you are fully aware of these

risks and are willing to personally accept and assume responsibility for those

risks, do not use

Aladin

TEC 2G

Guidelines for the use of Aladin TEC 2G:

The following guidelines for using Aladin

TEC 2G

are derived from the latest medical research and the

recommendations of the American Academy of Underwater Sciences for diving with diving comput-

ers. Following these guidelines will greatly increase your safety while diving, but cannot guarantee that

decompression sickness or oxygen toxicity will not occur.

• Aladin

TEC 2G

is designed for dives with compressed air (21% O

) and Nitrox (22 to 100% O

) only. Do

not use Aladin

TEC 2G

for dives made with other mixed gases.

• It is absolutely necessary to check the set mixture before each dive and to compare it to the gas

mixture currently used. Always remember: setting an incorrect mixture carries an inherent risk of

decompression sickness and/or oxygen toxicity! Maximum deviation from the measured mixture must

not exceed 1%O

. An incorrect gas mixture can be lethal!

• Only use Aladin

TEC 2G

with open circuit breathing systems.

• Only use Aladin

TEC 2G

for diving with an independent breathing apparatus. Aladin

TEC 2G is not

designed for long term exposures with Nitrox.

• Always observe the visual and audible alarm signals. Avoid situations of increased risk which are

marked with a warning sign in this operating manual.

• Aladin

TEC 2G

has a ppO

warning. The default limit is set at 1.4bar ppO

max. It can be changed

between 1.2 and 1.6bar.

• Frequently check the "oxygen clock" (CNS O

). Ascend and finish the dive if the CNS O

exceeds

75%.

• Never dive deeper than the Maximum Operating Depth (MOD) pertinent to the gas mixture in use.

• Always check the diving limits considering the oxygen content and standard sports diving procedures

(decompression sickness, oxygen toxicity).

• In accordance with the recommended maximum diving limit of all instructional agencies, do not dive

deeper than 40 metres/130 feet.

•

The danger of nitrogen narcosis has to be taken into consideration

. Aladin

TEC 2G

gives no warning

about this.

• On all dives, with or without dive computer, make a safety stop for at least 3 minutes at 5 metres (15 feet).

• All divers using dive computers to plan dives and indicate or determine decompression status must

use their own computer, which they take with them on all dives.

• If Aladin

TEC 2G

fails at any time during the dive, the dive must be terminated, and appropriate surfac-

ing procedures (including a slow ascent and a 3 to 5 minute safety stop at 5

metres /15 feet

) should

be initiated immediately.

• Comply with the ascent rate and carry out any decompression stop required. If the computer should

fail for any reason, you must ascend at a rate of 10m (30ft) per minute or less.

• On any given dive, both divers in a buddy pair must follow the most conservative dive computer for

that particular dive.

• Never dive without a buddy. Aladin

TEC 2G

does not substitute for a dive buddy.

• Only make dives that are appropriate to your level of dive training. Aladin

TEC 2G

does not increase

your knowledge of diving.

• Always dive with back-up instruments. Make sure that you always use back-up instrumentation

including a depth gauge, submersible pressure gauge, digital bottom timer or dive watch, and have

access to decompression tables whenever diving with a dive computer.

• Avoid repeated ascents and descents (yo yo diving).
