I was contacting Suunto in Finnland regarding this problem. They gave me the
tip that if this happened and you want to dive Nitrox afterwards, you should
take the battery out and back in. This will reset the computer... and of
course, this is not mentioned in the manual. But your tip is probably the
best: Keep it in Nitrox mode and for the first air dive, just chose 21% O2.
