OPERATING TEMPERATURE
The PRODIGY will operate in almost any temperature diving environ-
ment in the world (Fig. 29) between 32° and 140° F (0° and 60° C). You may
notice the liquid crystal display becoming sluggish at extremely low tempera-
tures. This is normal and will not affect the computer’s accuracy. If stored or
transported in extremely low temperature areas (below freezing), you should
warm with body heat before diving.
Even though the PRODIGY will operate in a wide range of temperatures,
it is possible to damage the electronics if left exposed to direct sunlight, or in
a hot confined space (like a car trunk). After the dive, cover the PRODIGY
and keep it out of the sun. If inadvertently left in the direct view of the sun,
the LCD display may become totally black. If this occurs, immediately
immerse the PRODIGY in water. The display should recover its normal
appearance after a few minutes. Damage from excess heat, or cold, is not
covered under the PRODIGY two-year limited warranty.
NIGHT DIVING WITH THE PRODIGY
The PRODIGY uses a high contrast liquid crystal display with large
numerals for easy readability in low light conditions. However, the display is
not internally illuminated for night diving because of the excessive power
consumption that would be required. This means that on night dives, in
caves, or any other low light situation you must use your dive light to illumi-
nate the display. If your dive light were to fail, you would be unable to read
information about your dive on the PRODIGY.
