4.2. MAINTENANCE
The tank pressure gauge and the parts of this
product used to measure tank pressure should
be serviced by an authorized Mares dealer
every other year or after 200 dives (whichever
comes first). In addition, the depth accuracy
should be verified every two years. Aside from
that, Icon HD is virtually maintenance free. All
you need to do is rinse it carefully with fresh
water after each dive (avoid any chemical
products) and charge the battery when needed.
To avoid possible problems with your IconHD,
the following recommendations will help
assure years of trouble free service:
- avoid dropping or jarring your Icon HD;
- do not expose Icon HD to intense, direct
sunlight;
- do not store Icon HD in a sealed container,
always ensure free ventilation.
NOTE
If you notice signs of moisture on the
inner wall of the mineral glass, take your
IconHD immediately to an authorized
Mares service center.

WARNING
The mineral glass is not exempt from
scratches resulting from improper use.

WARNING
Do not blow compressed air onto IconHD,
because it could damage the pressure
sensor area.
4.2.1. REPLACING THE BATTERY IN ICON HD

be necessary to replace it after approximately
500charging cycles. The battery should only
be replaced in a center authorized by Mares.
Mares declines all responsibility for any
damage caused by replacing the battery.
