INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your recent purchase of the Sherwood WISDOM dive computer!
Your new WISDOM uses a unique and intuitive display that represents the information you need before, during, and after the
dive, laid out in a logical format based on a dive profile diagram. Information is located where you would expect it to be.
In addition to no-decompression/decompression status, tissue loading of nitrogen, accumulation of oxygen, and ascent rate are
presented as peripheral bar graphs alongside color coded reference indicators.
As you progress through this instruction manual, you will become familiar with the unique functions and features available.
A symbol legend is provided on the last page of this section for your convenience.
The WISDOM's wide array of features are described in detail throughout the pages that follow.
The initial time that you invest becoming acquainted with the symbols and various operating modes and displays will be re-
turned as you enjoy your underwater activities with the comfort that your familiarization affords.
As you use the WISDOM, remember that the rules you learned in your scuba course(s) still apply to the diving you will do
while using a dive computer - some will become even more important. Technology is no substitute for common sense, and a
dive computer only provides the person using it with data, not the knowledge to use it.
