3.02 Battery
All IQ-600 functions may cease within two to three days
of the Low Battery symbol first appearing. Always have
low batteries replaced promptly.
A depleted battery that is left in a IQ-600 for a long period
of time may leak. Again, have batteries replaced promptly.
3.03 While Diving...
Check battery level prior to diving. Remember the computer
will not enter Dive Mode if the Low Battery symbol appears.
Do not “push” the No-Decompression Limits (NDLs). Make
safety stops before ascending. If you accidentally exceed the
No-Decompression Limits, make your decompression stops
longer than those indicated. Check your breathing gas supply
at all stop depths.
Remember that the IQ-600 does not monitor breathing gas
supply. You must monitor this yourself, on every dive, using
a submersible pressure gauge or equivalent device.
Do not rely solely on this—or any other—dive computer.
Take a back-up dive computer or tables (along with a separate
means of monitoring depth and dive time).
Be aware that the IQ-600 makes assumptions regarding
residual nitrogen based on altitude settings. Avoid making
abrupt changes in altitude following a dive, as doing so may
be very dangerous.
