Battery Removal & Installation
WARNING - Removal of the PRODIGY's batteries will clear all stored
memory of tissue loading. If you have been diving immediately prior
to replacing the batteries, you must wait 24 hours before diving
again.
1. Apply a nickel or quarter (not a screwdriver) to the recessed slot of the
battery hatch, and turn the hatch out counterclockwise to remove from
the case back. NOTE: The battery compartment should only be opened in
a dry and clean environment, with extreme care taken to prevent the
entrance of moisture or dust.
2. Remove the o-ring from the battery hatch and discard. DO NOT use tools.
3. Closely examine the threads of the battery hatch and the case back to
check for any signs of damage which might impair proper threading. If
found, return your PRODIGY to your Authorized Oceanic Dealer or
Oceanic Parts & Service, and DO NOT attempt to use until it has received
service. You may otherwise proceed to the next step.
WARNING - DO NOT attempt to remove the outer case back ring
(Fig. 33b). Doing so may cause a dangerous malfunction, resulting
in possible injury or death; and void the warranty.
