reference, if looking at the watch from the top, with the 3 buttons pointing towards the right,
the contacts are located at the bottom of the watch on that same side.
Once the clip is properly connected and charge is flowing, the battery icon, located at the top of
the screen, will display a ‘growing build up motion’ inside the icon. The icon will display full
when the battery is charged completely. Right after that, the computer will turn itself off.
Separate the clip from the watch when it is fully charged. Depending on how depleted the
battery watch is, full recharge time can vary from one to three hours.
2.3 Storage
After rinsing and drying, store your Genesis Centauri dive computer in a dry, cool place away
from direct sources of high heat, strong electric currents, strong vibrations, excessive
compressing force or at risk of falling off from a high place. Extreme low (below -20°C/ -4°F) or
extreme high temperatures (50°C / 122°F) will also affect your dive computer internal
components.
If the Centauri computer is going to be stored for a long period of time, make sure the battery
charge is at least to 50% (or more preferably). This will ensure that the discharge rate is slow
and the battery does not get depleted completely. Leaving a rechargeable battery completely
depleted for long periods of time will damage it permanently.
