ATOM 3.0 OPERATING MANUAL
© 2002 Design, 2011 Doc. No. 12-5216-r02 (9/6/11)
PC INTERFACE
The unit is configured with a Data Port (Fig. 153a) that enables it to be connected to a PC USB port using a special interface
cable that is available as an optional accessory.
The USB Driver required for the PC interface system can be downloaded from the Oceanic Worldwide web site.
The PC interface system can be used to set/change the Set T group (Watch Time/Date), Set A group (Alarms), Set U group (Utili-
ties), and Set FA group (FREE Alarms). The Set F group (FO2) settings and Dive Operating Mode selection must be entered using
the button controls.
Information available for retrieval* (download) from the unit to the PC program includes items such as dive number, surface
interval time, depth, dive time, start date and time, lowest temperature, sampling rate, Set Points, TLBG, VARI, air time, start/end
pressure, and Gas/TMT Switching events.
* FREE Dive information is only available using the PC interface system.
The unit checks for the presence of an interface device connection to the Data Port once every second* while in Watch mode.
* Checks are not made if the Wet Activation contacts are wet.
Upon sensing an interface connection, the requesting device (PC) connects to the ATOM and is prepared for upload of settings
or download of data which is then initiated using the PC program. During the process, there is a 2 minute window during which
time a PC countdown screen is displayed on the ATOM (Fig. 154). Upload or download must be started during this time.
Prior to attempting to download data from your ATOM or upload settings to it, review the HELP section of the interface program.
Recommended is to print those sections of HELP that you consider appropriate for your interface activities.

CARE AND CLEANING
Protect your unit from shock, excessive temperatures, exposure to chemicals, and tampering. Protect the lens against scratches
with a Instrument Lens Protector. Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater.
• Soak and rinse the unit in fresh water at the end of each day of diving, and check to ensure that the areas around the Low
Pressure (Depth) Sensor (Fig. 155a), PC Interface Data Port (Fig. 155b), and buttons are free of debris or obstructions.
• To dissolve salt crystals, use lukewarm water or a slightly acidic bath (50% white vinegar/50% fresh water). After removal
from the bath, place the unit under gently running fresh water and towel dry before storing.
• Transport your equipment cool, dry, and protected.
INSPECTIONS AND SERVICE
Your dive computer should be inspected annually by an Authorized Oceanic Dealer who will perform a factory prescribed func-
tion check and inspection for damage or wear. To keep the 2 year limited warranty in effect, this inspection must be completed
one year after purchase (+/- 30 days).
Oceanic recommends that you continue to have an inspection performed every year to ensure it is working properly. The costs of
annual inspections, or inspections relating to water tight integrity, are not covered under the terms of the 2 year limited warranty.
