Additional important information may be ob-
tained by pressing the button during the dive:
1) Maximum PO2 set.
2) Oxygen percentage of the selected mixture
(Air if FO2=21%);
3) Maximum depth which can be reached de-
pending on the maximum PO2 set.
4) Safety Factor SF.
DIVE NITROX FUNCTION: Dive with
Nitrox
(im. 15)
The Leonardo computer keeps the setting of
the percentage of Oxygen Fo2, until the diver
manually resets it to different values. It is im-
portant to understand that:
Artificial respiratory mixtures may ex-
pose the diver to significant risks, unless
they are perfectly known, analysed and
studied. It is mandatory to understand
that THE MIXTURE BEING BREATHED
MUST BE EXACTLY EQUAL TO THE
ONE SET ON THE COMPUTER. OT-
HERWISE, DECOMPRESSION AND TO-
XICITY INFORMATION provided by the
computer WILL BE DANGEROUS FOR
THE LIFE OF THE DIVER. Before, after,
and during a Nitrox dive, it is mandatory
to verify the percentage of the Oxygen so
that it exactly corresponds to the one in
the cylinder.
BEFORE A NITROX DIVE.
The Leonardo computer always keeps the DIVE
AIR program switched on, until the diver sets it
for the use with Nitrox mixtures (chapter DIVE-
SET MODE: Dive parameters setting). In this
case the display will show the Nitrox icon (pic-
ture 15) which will stay on during the dive and
until Leonardo remains set on Nitrox parame-
ters. Once the Nitrox program is on, it is neces-
