NOTE: Extensive use of the Backlight reduces
estimated Battery life. Also, the Backlight does
not operate during a Low Elite T3 Battery Condi-
tion or when the Elite T3 is connected to a PC.
POWER SUPPLY
The Elite T3 utilizes one 3 volt CR2450 Lithium Battery. The
Battery should operate normally for 1 year or 300 dive hours if
2 dives are conducted during each dive period. The Elite T3
checks its battery voltage every 2 minutes during surface opera-
tion.
If voltage of the Elite T3 decreases to the Warning level
(2.75 volts), the Battery icon will appear on Surface display
screens (Fig. 2a) as an indication that the Battery should be
changed prior to commencing a series of dives.
If the Elite T3's voltage decreases to the Alarm level (2.50
volts), the Battery icon will flash and the Elite T3 will shut
Off.
Low Battery Warning/Alarm conditions are not displayed
during Dive Modes.
If a Low Battery Condition was not displayed prior to
starting a Dive, and a Low Battery Condition occurs during
the dive, there will be sufficient Battery power remaining to
maintain operation for the remainder of that dive.
