Aqua Lung EPG, Owner'S Manual, Page: 11 / 16

9
gauge retainers that keep the gauge console close to your body for easy access and reduce
the possibility of scratching the gauge face.
Note: Dangling gauges are a major cause of damage to delicate marine life, such as corals.
Always keep secondary hoses, such as your octopus and gauge, retained close to your body.
After the Dive
CAUTION: If the EPG
®
is not attached to a pressurized first-stage regulator while
soaking (explained below), make sure that water is not allowed to enter the high
pressure hose. Water entering the EPG via the high pressure hose may cause
damage to the internal components.
After each day of diving, soak the EPG in a warm, fresh water bath to dissolve salt crystals.
To dissolve heavy salt buildup, use a slightly acidic vinegar/water bath. After removing the
gauge from the bath, rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Towel dry the gauge before final
storage. Place the EPG in a cool, dry, protective case to transport.
Operating Temperature
The EPG operates normally between 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C). You may notice the liquid
crystal display (LCD) becoming sluggish at extremely low temperatures. This is normal and
will not affect the EPG’s accuracy.
It is possible to damage the electronics if exposed to direct sunlight or in a hot, confined space
(like a car trunk or dashboard). After the dive, cover the EPG and keep it out of the sun. If
inadvertently left in direct sunlight, the LCD may become totally black. If this occurs, immedi-
ately immerse the EPG in cool water. The display should recover its normal appearance after
a few minutes. Damage from extreme heat or cold is not covered under the two-year limited
warranty.
