CAUTION!!! LOSS OF BATTERY POWER WILL CAUSE ALL PREVIOUS DIVE
NITROGEN LOADING TO BE LOST. THIS MAY AFFECT NITROGEN
CALCULATIONS ON NEAR-FUTURE DIVES. AFTER A BATTERY CHANGE,
CONFIRM THAT NO-DECOMPRESSION TIME DATA IS REASONABLE DURING
PRE-DIVE PREDICTION MODE. DIVE-OF-DAY NUMBER GOING TO ZERO
IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHANGING BATTERIES IS ANOTHER INDICATION OF A
LOSS OF NITROGEN LOADING.
Inspect the battery cap O-rings for nicks and scratches. If either O-ring is damaged
carefully remove both O-rings and replace with new silicone O-rings. Lightly lubricate
each end of the batteries with silicone grease or petroleum jelly to help minimize
corrosion and therefore extend battery life.
When reinstalling the battery cap, lubricate the O-rings lightly and slowly twist the cap
into place using a USA quarter (supplied). Press quarter into battery cap slot firmly to
prevent slipping and damaging the slot. Ensure that there is no dirt or debris on the O-
rings or the mating surface and that the O-rings are properly installed.
As the battery cap is screwed in, carefully observe that the double O-rings install
correctly. Ask a Team Cochran Dealer for a demonstration.
It is best to have the new ENERGIZER
®
brand batteries ready to immediately install
since the COMMANDER+ was designed to allow for battery changes without resetting
and losing any nitrogen residuals. This period of time is typically 30 seconds, but varies
with temperature and the voltage of the batteries being replaced. It can be significantly
less if batteries are not replaced promptly when the ‘BATT’ legend first comes on.
