8.Check the condition of the O-ring; a defective O-ring may indicate sealing or other problems. Dispose the old O-ring, even if it seems to be in good condition.

9.Check that the battery compartment, battery holder and lid are clean. Clean with soft cloth if necessary.

10.Gently insert the new battery in the battery compartment. Check the polarity of the battery: the “-” mark should point toward the bottom of the compartment and the “+” mark upwards.

11.Reinstall the battery retainer in its correct position.

12.Check that the new lubricated O-ring is in good condition. Put it in the right position on the battery compartment. Be very careful not to get any dirt on the o-ring or its sealing surfaces.

13.Carefully press the lid onto the battery compartment with your thumb. It is better to press down the lid down one side first, this minimizes entrapped air and it is thus easier to hold down the lid. Make sure that the O-ring is not at any point protruding out on the edge.

14.Put your other thumb through the locking ring. Press this thumb firmly against the lid and release the other one. Make sure that the lid is pressed completely down!

15.Turn the locking ring counterclockwise with your free thumb and fingers until it snaps into its locked position.

16.The dive computer should now active it’s timekeeping mode and show time 18:00 [6:00 PM] and date SA 01,01. Activate the instru- ment. Check that:

All display segments work.

The low battery warning is off.

The buzzer beeps and backlight works.

All the settings are correct. Reset if necessary.

17.Install the dive computer back into the console or boot and reas- semble the strap. The instrument is now ready for use.
