10 Fig. 2.1. The push buttons of the D3. Any person who engages in any form of breathhold diving is in danger of shallow- water blackout (SWB) i.e. the sudden loss of consciousness caused by oxygen starvation. Any breathhold diving results in some nitrogen build-up in the blood and other fast tissues.
11 2. GETTING ACQUAINTED 2.1. FUNCTIONS The D3 wristop computer is a multipurpose dive instrument and a sport watch fea- turing different watch and dive computer modes. Y ou can select the dive computer model between Gauge diving mode (GAUGE) and Freediving mode ( FREE ).

62 • Protect the unit from shocks, extreme heat or direct sunlight and chemi- cal attack. The D3 cannot withstand the impact of heavy objects like scuba cylinders, nor chemicals like gasoline, cleaning solvents, aerosol sprays, adhesive agents, paint, acetone, alcohol etc.
63 and sand particles have been fl ushed out. Check the display for possible moisture or water . DO NOT use the D3 if you detect any moisture or water inside.
64 6.4. BA TTERY REPLACEMENT NOTE: It is advisable to contact an authorized Su- unto dealer for battery replacement. It is imperative that the change is made in a proper manner to avoid any leakage of water into the battery compartment or computer . CAUTION! • Defects caused by improper battery instal- lation are not covered by the warranty .
65 BA TTER Y REPLACEMENT The battery is located in a separate battery com-partment on the back side of the instrument (Fig. 6.1.). T o change the battery , follow the procedure below: 1. Thoroughly rinse and dry the computer . 2. Open the battery compartment lid by carefully but fi rmly turning it counter- clockwise using a coin or a screwdriver .
66 7. Check that the battery compartment surfaces are clean. Clean with soft cloth if necessary . 8. Gently insert the new battery under the battery retainer/contact. Check the polarity of the battery: the “-” mark should point toward the bottom of the com- partment and the “+” mark upwards.

74 EAN Abbreviation for enriched air nitrox. Enriched Air Nitrox Oxygen-Nitrogen mix, normally with more than 21% oxy- gen. Freediver A breath-holding diver whose only source of oxygen are his lungs fi lled with surface air. Hypercapnia Increased amount of carbon dioxide in the blood.
75 NITROX In sports diving refers to any mix with a higher fraction of oxygen than standard air . NOAA United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminis- tration. No-decompression time The maximum amount of time a diver may remain at a par- ticular depth without having to make decompression stops during the subsequent ascent.
76 Shallow - water blackout (SWB) An unconscious state divers experience when the brain be- comes deprived of oxygen. SWB frequently happens with- out warning, causing death by subsequent drowning. Static apnea blackout Unconsciousness due to gradual oxygen depletion caused by holding one’ s breath too long.
