1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the SUUNT O GEKKO dive computer.
The GEKKO builds on the Suunto tradition of deli vering feature-rich easy-use
dive computers. Push button controls access a wide selection of choices and the
display is optimized for the dive mode chosen. This dive computer is a compact
and sophisticated multipurpose di ve instrument, designed to gi ve you years of
trouble-free service.
Choice of Operating Modes and Set-up Options
User options for the GEKKO are selected using the push buttons.
Pre Dive confi guration and setup options include:
• Choice of operating mode - Air / Nitrox
• Choice of unit - Metric / Imperial
• Maximum depth alarm
• Dive time alarm
• Clock, calendar
• Mix Oxygen fraction % (Nitrox mode only)
• Maximum PO
2
(Nitrox mode only)
• Altitude adjustment
• Personal adjustment
Continuous Decompression with Suunto RGBM
The Suunto Reduced Gradient Bubble Model (RGBM) utilized in the GEKK O
predicts both dissolved and free gas in blood and tissues of divers. It is a signifi -
cant advance on the classic Haldane models, which do not predict free gas. The
advantage of Suunto RGBM is additional safety through its ability to adapt to a
variety of situations and dive profi les.
In order to optimize how to respond to different added risk situations an additional
category of stop, referred to as a Mandatory Safety Stop, has been introduced. Also
a countdown for the Recommended Safety Stop is included. The combination of
stop types will depend on the specifi c dive situation.
To get the most from the safety benefi ts be sure to read the summary of the Re-
duced Gradient Bubble Model in chapter 6.2.

- This dive computer has a unique graphic battery power indicator designed to give you an advance notice of impending need to change the battery p.19
- The battery power indicator can always be seen when the dive mode is activated the following table and figure show the various warning levels p.19
- Temperature or an internal oxidation of the battery affects the battery voltage if the instrument is stored for a long period the low battery warning may be displayed even though the battery has enough capacity the low battery warning may also be displayed at low temperatures even though the battery has enough capacity in warmer conditions in these cases repeat the battery check procedure p.19

- Yellow zone as the bars reach the yellow zone your no decompression stop time is less than 10 or 5 minutes and you are getting very close to no decompression limits at this point you should start your ascent towards the surface p.24
- The available no decompression stop time is also shown visually in the multi function bar graph on the left side of the display fig 3 and 3 when your available no decompression time decreases below 200 minutes the fi rst lowest bar graph segment appears as your body absorbs more nitrogen more segments start to appear p.24
- The ascent rate is sho wn graphically along the right side of the display as fol lows p.24
- Table 3 ascent rate indicator p.24
- Red zone as all of the bars appear red zone your no decompression stop time has become zero and your dive has become a decompression stop dive for more information see section 3 decompression dives p.24
- Green zone as a safety precaution suunto recommends you should maintain the no decompression bar graph within the green zone segments start to appear when the available no decompression time decreases below 100 80 60 50 40 30 and 20 minutes p.24
