Suunto Cobra2 [19/56] Connecting suunto cobra2 to a regulator

5.7.1. Connecting Suunto Cobra2 to a regulator

When purchasing the Suunto Cobra2, we strongly recommend that you have your Suunto

representative attach it to the first stage of your regulator.

However, if you decide to attach it yourself, follow the steps outlined below:

Remove the high pressure (HP) port plug on the first stage of your regulator using an

appropriate tool.

Thread the high pressure hose of the Suunto Cobra2 into the HP port of your regulator

with your fingers. Tighten the hose fitting with a 16 mm (5/8'') wrench. DO NOT

OVERTIGHTEN!

Attach the regulator to the scuba cylinder and slowly open the valve. Check for leaks

by submerging the regulator first stage in water. If leaks are detected, check the

condition of the O-ring and sealing surfaces.

5.8. DIVE mode settings

Suunto Cobra2 has several user-definable functions, as well as depth and time-related

alarms that you can set according to your personal preferences. The DIVE mode settings

are dependent on the dive sub-mode chosen (AIR, NITROX, GAUGE), so that, for example,

nitrox settings are only available in the DIVENitrox sub-mode.

The following figure shows how to enter the DIVE mode settings menu.
