WARNINGS
Before using the N2iTion3, it is extremely important that you read the
following points as well as similar warning and caution notices that
appear throughout this manual. Failure to do so could result in dam-
age to or loss of equipment, serious personal injury, or death.
The N2iTion3 is designed for use by certied, recreational divers who
have obtained a sufcient level of knowledge and skill prociency through
formal training, ongoing study and experience. It is not intended for use by
persons who lack the qualications, and thus may not be able to identify,
assess, and manage the risks scuba diving entails. Use of the N2iTion3 in
conjunction with Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) further requires that the diver
be trained and certied for Nitrox diving.
The N2iTion3 is not intended for use by commercial, military or technical
divers whose activities may take them beyond the commonly accepted
depth limits for recreational diving.
The N2iTion3 is designed for use by divers breathing either normal com-
pressed air or Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) mixtures whose fraction of
Oxygen falls within a range of 22 to 99%.
Although the N2iTion3 is capable of calculating decompression stop
requirements, this ability is provided as a safety feature only, should a
diver accidentally exceed the No-Decompression Limits (NDLs). Dives
requiring mandatory stage decompression carry substantially greater risk
than dives made well within no-decompression limits.
Decompression diving is widely believed to entail substantially great-
er risk of decompression illness than dives made well within the No-
Decompression Limits (NDL). The N2iTion3 provides decompression stop
information solely as a contingency in case divers accidentally exceed
the No-Decompression Limits. It is not designed or intended for use
as a tool to plan or execute dives that participants know will entail
mandatory decompression.

WARNINGS
The N2iTion3 is designed to be used by only one diver at a time. Divers should
not share a single N2iTion3, or any dive computer, on the same dive. Additionally,
no diver should lend his or her N2iTion3 to anyone else until it calculates that no
measurable residual nitrogen remains after previous dives, and displays neither the
“Desaturation Time” nor “No Fly” indicators while in Surface Mode. Further, no diver
should use his or her N2iTion3 for repetitive dives unless that same N2iTion3 has
accompanied him or her on all previous dives in the same repetitive dive series.
Neither the N2iTion3, nor any other dive computer presently available, physically
measures the amount of nitrogen present in body tissues, or the rate at which this
nitrogen is being absorbed or released. Instead, the N2iTion3 monitors depth and
time, and uses this data to work a mathematical formula designed to emulate how
individuals in good general health, and whose physical characteristics do not place
them among those at higher risk of decompression illness, are assumed to absorb
and release nitrogen from body tissues. Thus, the N2iTion3 cannot compensate for
factors such as age, obesity, dehydration, cold or exertion, which experts believe
place divers at greater risk of decompression illness. If these, or similar factors
apply to you, use the N2iTion3, and any other dive computer or dive table, with even
greater caution.
Experts still know surprisingly little regarding the exact nature and causes of
decompression illness (also known as decompression sickness, DCI, or DCS).
Susceptibility to DCI may vary substantially from person to person and from day to
day. Neither the N2iTion3, nor any dive computer or table, can guarantee that you
will not suffer decompression illness. Even though you use these items correctly,
you may still suffer DCI. Do not rely on the N2iTion3 as your sole means of avoiding
decompression sickness.
Experts recommend divers wait at least 24 hours following any dive before ying
in an aircraft or driving to altitude. Failure to allow sufcient surface interval
before performing these activities may substantially increase the risk of
Decompression Illness (DCI).
Do not plan dives to depths deeper than those for which the N2iTion3 is capable
of displaying an available No-Decompression Limit. Doing so could cause you to
exceed the No-Decompression Limits or limiting PO2 of 1.6 bar, which may in turn
substantially increase your risk of decompression illness or CNS Oxygen Toxicity
and can lead to serious personal injury or death.

1. Common Sense Warnings
As is true of every piece of diving equipment, including all dive computers,
the N2iTion3’s abilities are not limitless. There are certain limitations and
restrictions of which you must be aware, and certain precautions you must
take when using the N2iTion3. This dive computer is for recreational use
and not for professional use. Though the unit will allow use with up to 3
gas mixes containing 21-99% oxygen, individuals who have not taken a
recognized Nitrox diving course should not use the computer for Nitrox
diving. Also, it is very dangerous to set the mixture on the dive computer to
a different value than the gas mix in the tank. Always set your mixes each
time you dive and never dive with incorrect settings.
2. Introduction
Congratulations on your selection of the Zeagle N2iTion3 Dive Computer.
The N2iTion3 is a compact and sophisticated dive instrument that will give
you reliable, trouble-free performance, dive after dive. Please read and un-
derstand this manual completely before using your new Zeagle N2iTion3

3. Operating Gas Theory
This dive computer performs decompression diving calculations using
12 compartment algorithms developed by Mr. C. Randy Bohrer based on
Swiss-model theory and research. It is intended for use by individuals who
have completed a recognized scuba diving course. Persons who have not
taken scuba diving training or who are not aware of the risks of scuba div-
ing should not use this unit.
This computer is designed with the assumption that you will be doing no-
decompression diving. It also provides decompression data just in case,
but this is dangerous and should be avoided.
This dive computer’s standard settings assume the user is of average
physical strength and in ordinary health. The individual diver should there-
fore dive responsibly and make a safe diving plan suited to him or herself.
This dive computer is designed to be used by only one diver. Therefore,
if lending it to another person, you should start completely over from the
beginning status (Desaturation time, PGT graph and OLI graph should all
be 0) and the computer should not be displaying the ‘Surf. Time’ or ‘Do Not
Fly’ icons. You should never lend the computer to someone when doing
repeated dives.
4. Buttons and Display Icons
Dive Icon : This icon is displayed in the lower left of the display when
the computer is in Dive Mode, non-decompression limits and decompres-
sion stops are calculated in this mode.
Gage Icon : This icon is displayed in the lower left of the display
when the computer is in Gage Mode. Only time, depth and temperature are
calculated in this mode.
Nitrox Icon : This icon appears in the lower left of the display when
any of the 3 gas mixes FO2 is set to any value other than AIR (21%). This
icon will blink if the computer is using default values.
Depth Alarm : This icon appears in the lower right of the display
when the user has an alarm set to sound at a certain depth.
3
Dive Time Alarm : This icon appears in the lower right of the display
when the user has an alarm set to sound after a certain amount of dive
time.
Log Book Icon : This icon appears in the upper right of the display
when you are in Log Mode or Prole Mode to indicate that you are viewing
saved data from a previous dive.
Deco Icon : This icon appears in the upper left of the display if the
diver has violated the No Decompression Limits. The computer will display
depth and time information for decompression stops. The icon will blink if
the Deco stops are violated
Do Not Fly Icon :
This icon is on when the computer calculates desaturation time remains.
When the computer determines desaturation time is complete, the icon will
turn off. If the computer calculates a desaturation time less than 12 hours,
the icon will stay on for 12 hours. In gage mode the icon is turned off after
48 hours of surface time.
Battery Icon : Displays current battery voltage, as follows.
When battery voltage is 2.8V or above the battery Icon is OFF. •
When battery voltage is 2.6 to 2.7V the battery Icon blinks. •
When battery voltage is less than 2.6V the battery Icon is ON.•
You cannot go into dive mode while the battery indicator Icon is blinking
or ON. All other modes will function. Battery voltage is automatically mea-
sured during all modes except PC Transfer and Dive Mode.
Important! Once the battery indicator is blinking or ON you must return
the N2iTion3 to your local authorized Zeagle dealer for battery replace-
ment, or replace the battery yourself following the procedure outlined later
in this manual. Before replacing your N2iTion3’s battery, be sure to upload
or copy all dive log data to your log book, as the battery replacement pro-
cess erases all such data from the N2iTion3’s memory.
4
Altitude Icon :
The N2iTion3 automatically measures and calculates the current loca-
tion’s altitude and displays the corresponding altitude rank. A new altitude
measurement and calculation is made once every ten minutes.
When the altitude is over 19680 feet (6000 meters), the display will blink
while showing the altitude rank and ‘Err’ icons, the dive computer will not
function until the altitude drops to a lower level (under 19680 feet (6000
meters)). The calculations of PGT, OLI and desaturation time are stopped
when altitude is over 19680 feet (6000 meters), and ‘Err’ is displayed; how-
ever surface time continues to be counted. When the altitude is less than
19680 feet (6000 meters), the display shown before reaching that altitude
is displayed again. The same displays and processing occur if the altitude
cannot be measured for any reason.
Altitude measurements are made during all modes except Dive and PC
Transfer Mode. The computer will display the current altitude setting icon
in Time Mode and Plan Mode (In Dive Log Mode the rank of the dive is
displayed.)
Altitude Rank Altitude Range
00-900m (0-2952ft)
1 600-1800m(1968-5904ft)
2 1500-2600m(4920-8528ft)
32300-6000m(7544-19680ft)
Err Over 6000m(over 19680ft)
WARNING
The N2iTion3 is not intended for use at altitudes above 19680 ft
(6000 m). Diving at high altitudes carries an increased risk of decom-
pression sickness.
