LOW BATTERY INDICATIONS:
Fresh ENERGIZER
®
brand alkaline batteries should read about 3.2 volts on
the Information Screen. When the battery voltage
drops to 2.1 volts, the “BATT” legend will be
illuminated. It is recommended to change the
batteries at this point, but several dives might still
remain possible. When the battery voltage decays to
1.8 volts, the “BATT” legend will begin to flash on and
off. Once the “BATT” legend begins to flash the
TACLITE™ is deactivated, to conserve the remaining
battery power even though the unit may be on a dive,
and can not be activated until fresh batteries are
installed. While there should be sufficient battery
power to normally complete a dive, it is not
recommended to begin a new dive until fresh
ENERGIZER
®
brand alkaline batteries are installed.
After the computer automatically turns itself off (enters
Sleep Mode) 70 minutes after a dive, it cannot be
turned back on if the battery voltage is less than 1.6
volts. Fresh ENERGIZER
®
brand alkaline batteries
must be installed. See the “BATTERY CHANGES”
section of this manual for detailed information on how
to change batteries.
CAUTION!!!
COMPLETE LOSS OF BATTERY
POWER MAY CAUSE ALL PREVIOUS DIVE
NITROGEN LOADING TO BE LOST. THIS WILL
AFFECT NITROGEN CALCULATIONS ON NEAR-
FUTURE DIVES. AFTER A BATTERY CHANGE,
CONFIRM THAT NO-DECOMPRESSION TIME
DATA IS REASONABLE IN THE PRE-DIVE
PREDICTION MODE. DIVE-OF-DAY NUMBER
GOING TO ZERO IMMEDIATELY AFTER
CHANGING BATTERIES IS ANOTHER INDICATION
OF A LOSS OF NITROGEN LOADING.
