1. WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF SUUNTO DIVING INSTRU- MENTS Suunto D4 was designed to help you get the most out of your diving. Suunto D4 simplifies your diving experience because all the information you need re- lating to depth, time and decompression status is available on one easy-to-read screen.
T o get the most out of your Suunto D4 please read this instruction manual carefully and make sure you understand the use, displays, and limitations of the instrument before using it. T o make life easier , we've included a glossary of dive-specific termin- ology at the back of the manual.
2. W ARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES Throughout this manual, important safety icons are displayed. Three classifications are used to separate these icons by their order of importance: W ARNING is used in.
W ARNING NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE! Suunto dive computers are intended for recreational use only . The demands of commercial or professional diving may expose the diver to depths and condi- tions that tend to increase the risk of decompression illness (DCI).
W ARNING SUUNTO STRONGL Y RECOMMENDS THA T SPORT DIVERS LIMIT THEIR MAXIMUM DEPTH TO 40 M/130 FT OR T O THE DEPTH CALCULA TED BY THE COMPUTER BASED ON THE SELECTED O 2 % AND A MAXIMUM PO 2 OF 1.4 BAR! W ARNING DIVES THA T REQUIRE DECOMPRESSION STOPS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED.
W ARNING YOU ARE ADVISED TO A VOID FL YING ANY TIME THE COM- PUTER COUNTS DOWN THE NO-FL Y TIME. ALW A YS ACTIV- A TE THE COMPUTER TO CHECK THE REMAINING NO-FL Y TIME PRIOR TO FL YING! Flying or traveling to a higher altitude within the no-fly time can greatly increase the risk of DCI.
W ARNING THE DIVE COMPUTER WILL NOT ACCEPT FRACTIONAL PERCENT AGE V ALUES OF OXYGEN CONCENTRA TION. DO NOT ROUND UP FRACTIONAL PERCENT AGES! For example, 31.8% oxygen should be entered as 31%. Rounding up will cause nitrogen percentages to be understated and will affect decompres- sion calculations.
W ARNING This device contains a Lithium cell battery . T o reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or water . Replace only with manu- facturer-specified batteries. Recycle or dispose of used batteries properly .

Contamination or dirt on the water contact may prevent this automatic activation. It is therefore important that the water contact is kept clean. The contact can be cleaned with fresh water and a soft brush, for example a tooth brush.
5. BEFORE DIVING Do not attempt to use the dive computer without reading this user's manual in its en- tirety , including all the warnings. Make sure that you fully understand the use, displays, and limitations of the instrument.
5.1. The Suunto RGBM/Deep Stop Algorithm Suunto’s Reduced Gradient Bubble Model (RGBM), utilized in the Suunto D4, predicts both dissolved and free gas in the blood and tissues of divers. It is a significant advance on the classic Haldane models, which do not predict free gas.
3. Stay there for as long as your air supply will safely allow . After reaching the sur- face, do not dive for at least 24 hours. 5.3. Dive computer limitations While the dive computer's calculat.
5.5. Free diving Free diving, and particularly Free diving in combination with scuba diving, may present risks that have not been researched and are not commonly known. Anyone who engages in any form of breath hold diving is in danger of shallow-water blackout (SWB), that is, the sudden loss of consciousness caused by oxygen starvation.
T able 5.1. Audible and visual alarm types Alarm reason Alarm type Dive computer is activated. Short single beep Dive computer automatically returns to the TIME mode. No-decompression dive turns into a Decompression Stop dive. An arrow pointing upwards and the blinking ascent warning ASC TIME will appear .
T able 5.2. Preset alarm types Alarm reason Alarm type Preset maximum depth has been exceeded. Continuous beep series for 24 seconds Maximum depth blinks as long as the current depth value exceeds the preset value. Preset dive time has been ex- ceeded.
NOTE When the backlight is turned OFF , it does not illuminate when an alarm is activated. W ARNING WHEN THE OXYGEN LIMIT FRACTION INDICA TES THA T THE MAXIMUM LIMIT IS REACHED, YOU MUST IMMEDIA TEL Y T AKE ACTION TO REDUCE OXYGEN EXPOSURE.
Once in the permanent Error mode, only the Er warning is shown in the center window . The dive computer will not show times for ascent or stops. However , all the other dis- plays will function as before to provide information for ascent.

5.9.1. Accessing DIVE mode The Suunto D4 has three diving modes: AIR mode for diving with standard air only , NITROX mode for diving with oxygen enriched mixtures, and FREE mode for free diving. The OFF mode disables the DIVE mode, and allows the TIME mode to be used un- derwater .
At this time, perform your pre-checks, making sure that: • the instrument operates in the correct mode and provides a complete display (AIR/NITROX/FREE mode) • the battery level is ok • the alti.
5.9.3. Battery power indication T emperature or internal oxidation of the battery affect the battery voltage. If the instru- ment is stored for a long period, or used in cold temperatures, the low battery warning may be displayed even though the battery has enough capacity .
When programming the instrument for the correct altitude, you need to select the correct Altitude Adjustment settings according to T able 5.5, Altitude Adjustment settings . The dive computer will adjust its mathematical model according to the entered altitude setting, giving shorter no-decompression times at higher altitudes (see T able 10.
5.9.5. Personal adjustments There are personal factors that can affect your susceptibility to DCI, which you can predict in advance, and input into the decompression model. Such factors vary between divers and also for the same diver from one day to another .
T able 5.6. Personal Adjustment settings Desired tables Condition Personal ad- justment value Default Ideal conditions P0 Progressively more conservative Some risk factors or conditions exist P1 Sever.

Safety Stops Safety Stops are widely considered good diving practice for recreational diving, and are an integral part of most dive tables.
4 / # . 6 - 2 $ + $ " 3 , . # $ WHEN STOP IS DISPLA YED, MAKE A RECOMMENDED SAFETY STOP FOR 3 MINUTES. NOTE The Recommended Safety Stop, as the name implies, is recom- mended. If it is ignored, there is no penalty applied to the following surface intervals and dives.
4 / # . 6 - 2 $ + $ " 3 , . # $ WHEN CEILING AND STOP ARE DISPLA YED , MAKE A ONE MINUTE MANDA T ORY SAFET Y STOP IN THE DEPTH ZONE BETWEEN 6 M AND 3 M.
5.1 1. Deep stops Deep Stops are safety stops that occur deeper than traditional stops, with the purpose of minimizing microbubble formation and excitation. The Suunto RGBM model calculates deep stops iteratively , placing the first stop about halfway between the maximum depth and the ceiling depth.
6. DIVING This section contains instructions on how to operate the dive computer and interpret its displays. Y ou’ll find that this dive computer is easy to use and read.

6.1.2. Bookmark It is possible to record bookmarks in the profile memory during a dive. These bookmarks are displayed when scrolling the profile memory on the display . The bookmarks will also be shown as annotations in the downloadable Suunto Dive Manager PC software.
6.1.4. Decompression dives When your NO DEC TIME becomes zero, your dive becomes a decompression dive so you must perform one or more decompression stops on your way to the surface. The NO DEC TIME on your display will be replaced by an ASC TIME, and a CEILING notation will appear .
W ARNING YOUR ACTUAL ASCENT TIME MA Y BE LONGER THAN DIS- PLA YED BY THE INSTRUMENT! The ascent time will increase if you: • remain at depth • ascend slower than 10 m/33 ft per minute • make your decompression stop deeper than at the ceiling These factors will also increase the amount of air required to reach the surface.
The depth of the ceiling and floor will depend on your dive profile. The ceiling depth will be fairly shallow when you enter the decompression mode, but if you remain at depth, it will move downward and the ascent time will increase. Likewise, the floor and ceiling may change upwards while you are decompressing.
Display below the floor The blinking ASC TIME and an upward pointing arrow indicate that you are below the floor . Y ou should start your ascent immediately . The ceiling depth is shown on the left side, and the minimum total ascent time on the right side, of the center window .
Display at the ceiling zone When you reach the ceiling zone, the display will show you two arrows pointing at each other (the “hour glass” icon). Below is an example of a decompression dive at the ceiling zone. 4 / # . 6 - 2 $ + $ " 3 , . # $ TWO ARR OWS POINT A T EACH O THER “HOUR GLASS” .

6.3.2. Free dive time limit The FREE mode has a time limit of 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, Suunto D4 will automatically change from free dive to scuba bottom timer . After the dive, the no-fly time will countdown from 48 hours. Also, you will not be able to dive in AIR or NITROX modes until the no-fly time has counted down to zero.
7. AFTER DIVING Once back at the surface, Suunto D4 continues to provide post-dive safety information and alarms. Calculations to enable repetitive dive planning also help to maximize diver safety .
