ReACT Pro

The following icons are used throughout this manual to bring your attention to situations that require special consideration.

WARNING - used if serious injury or death could result if the procedure is not followed carefully.

CAUTION - used if a maintenance technique could result in damage to parts if that technique is not followed carefully.

NOTE - used to emphasize important information or maintenance technique.

RESPONSIBLE COMPUTER DIVING

Before you dive using your ReACT Pro, keep these basic rules in mind:

• Plan each dive, and dive your plan - Your ReACT Pro was not designed to make decisions for you, only to provide you with the

information you need to make responsible decisions for yourself. This begins with a dive plan that will help you avoid a low

air or decompression situation.

• Do not plan any dive that exceeds your training or experience level.

• Inspect your computer before every dive - If it shows any signs of damage or abnormal function, DO NOT dive with it until it has

received factory service.

• Make your deepest dive first - When making repetitive dives, it is imperative to ensure that each consecutive dive is shallower

than the one before. This will allow your body's slower tissues to continue outgassing nitrogen.

• Make the deepest part of your dive first, and gradually work your way to the surface using a staircase profile - The ability to perform

multilevel diving is one of the most important contributions of a dive computer, and you should take advantage of it. It will

increase your bottom time and at the same time decrease your risk of decompression sickness.

• Ascend slowly by following an ascent line whenever possible, or by ascending diagonally toward the surface - Watch the Ascent

Rate Indicator closely while you ascend, and keep it in the green zone as much as possible.

• A Safety Stop of 3 minutes or more is recognized as a prudent action to reduce the probability of bubble formation in divers.

WARNINGS:

• The ReACT Pro is intended for use by recreational divers who have successfully completed a nationally

recognized course in scuba diving, and diving with enriched nitrogen-oxygen (nitrox) breathing gas

mixtures.

• It is intended only for no decompression diving, NOT intentional decompression diving.

• It must not be used by untrained persons who may not have knowledge of the potential risks and haz-

ards of scuba diving, and diving with enriched nitrogen-oxygen (nitrox) mixtures.

• You must obtain scuba certification, and certification in diving with enriched nitrogen-oxygen mixtures

(nitrox) before using the ReACT Pro if you have not already done so.

• It is NOT for use by military and commercial divers.

• It should NOT be utilized for any competitive, or repetitive square wave or decompression diving, as it

is intended solely for recreational use and no decompression multilevel diving.

• As with all underwater life support equipment, improper use or misuse of this product can cause seri-

ous injury or death.

• Never participate in sharing or swapping of a dive computer.

• Conduct your dives in such a manner so as to insure that you continuously check the computer's

proper function.

• Read and understand this owner’s manual completely before diving with the ReACT Pro.

• If you do not fully understand how to use this dive computer, or if you have any questions, you should

seek instruction in its use from your authorized Genesis dealer before you utilize this product.

• Never participate in sharing or swapping of a dive computer. Doing so may result in injury or death.

The ReACT Pro provides information based upon a diver’s personal dive profile, and therefore must

not be “shared” between divers. You should never, under any circumstances, swap your computer

with another unit between dives, or share your computer with another diver underwater.

LIMITEDTWO-YEARWARRANTY

Genesis Scuba guarantees, to the original purchaser only, that the ReACT Pro will be free of defects in materials and/or craftsmanship under normal recreational

multilevel scuba use for two years from date of purchase, provided proper care and annual service are performed as described within this owner’s guide. Should

your ReACT Pro prove to be defective for any reason (other than those listed in the limitations section below) it will be repaired or replaced (at Genesis Scuba's

discretion) free of charge excluding shipping and handling charges.

This warranty will be considered void if the registration card is not filled out completely at the time of purchase and mailed to Genesis Scuba within 30 days of

purchase, and/or if the annual inspection is not done according to this owner’s manual. This warranty is non-transferrable and applies to the original purchaser

only. All correspondence concerning this warranty must be accompanied by a copy of the original sales receipt and a copy of the owner’s portion of the war-

ranty registration card including the annual inspection record.

Once each year you must return the ReACT Pro to an Authorized Genesis Dealer within 30 days of the original purchase date anniversary to keep the

two year limited warranty in force. Annual inspection includes verification of depth accuracy and proper general function. Labor charges for the annual in-

spection are not covered by the warranty. You must provide a copy of the original sales receipt and a copy of the owner’s portion of the warranty registration

card including the annual service record to obtain warranty service.

Statement of Limitations - General:

Warranty does not cover damage from accident, abuse, battery leakage, tampering, lack of proper care and maintenance and/or proper annual servic-

ing, or improper use of the ReACT Pro. Modifications or repair by anyone other than a Genesis Sales and Service Center authorized to service the ReACT

Pro will void the warranty. Genesis Scuba will not be responsible for recovery or replacement of the product in the event of loss or theft. Genesis Scuba, its

distributors, and retailers make no warranties, either expressed or implied, with respect to this product or its owner’s manual except those stated in the preceding

paragraphs. In consideration of the sale of the ReACT Pro to you, you agree and understand that in no event will Genesis Scuba, its distributors or re-

tailers, be held liable for any personal injuries resulting from its operation, or for any other damages whether direct, indirect, incidental, or conse-

quential even if Genesis Scuba is advised of such damages.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or liabilities for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may not

apply to you.

Warranty does not extend to plastic gauge face, o-rings, batteries, or damage due to accident, abuse, modification, or tampering.

PATENT NOTICE

U.S. Patents have been issued, or applied for, to protect the following design features:

Data Sensing and Processing Device (U.S. Patent no. 4,882,678), Dive Time Remaining (U.S. Patent no. 4,586,136), and Ascent Rate Indicator (U.S. Patent

no. 5,156,055).

DECOMPRESSION MODEL

The programs within the ReACT Pro simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is merely a way to apply a

limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The ReACT Pro dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression

theory. Still, using the ReACT Pro, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other) No Decompression Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding decompression sick-

ness, i.e. “the bends.” Every diver’s physiology is different, and can even vary from day to day. No machine can predict how your body will react to a par-

ticular dive profile.
