ALTITUDE DIVING
The mathematical model within the 500AI accounts for the reduced No De-
compression dive time available at higher elevations based on NOAA (National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) guidelines. When diving in high al-
titude lakes or rivers from 2,000 to 14,000 feet (610 to 4,268 meters), the
500AI will adjust automatically, providing corrected depth and reduced No De-
compression and Oxygen Exposure times.
WARNING: If activated above 14,000 feet (4,268 meters), the
unit will perform a diagnostic check and immediately shut off.
When above 2,000 feet (610 meters), depth calibration is automatically
changed to read in 'feet of freshwater' rather than' feet of seawater'.
WARNING: Until it has shut itself off, you must not use the
500AI at a different altitude than the altitude where it was
originally activated. Doing so will result in an error equal to
the difference in barometric pressure, and possibly a false dive
mode with erroneous data.
More about Altitude Diving is presented on page 88.
