CARE AND CLEANING
Protect your OCL 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 OCL in fresh water at the end of each day of diving, and check to ensure that the areas around
the Low Pressure (Depth) Sensor (left side), PC Interface contacts (right side), 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 OCL under gently running fresh water and towel dry before storing.
• Transport your OCL cool, dry, and protected.
INSPECTIONS AND SERVICE
Your OCL should be inspected annually by an Authorized Oceanic Dealer who will perform a factory prescribed function
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.
To Obtain Service:
Take your OCL to an Authorized Oceanic Dealer or send it to the nearest Oceanic Regional Facility.
To return your OCL to Oceanic:
• Record all dive data in the Log and/or download the data stored in memory. All data will be erased during factory
service.
• Package it using a protective cushioning material.
• Include a legible note stating the specific reason for return, your name, address, daytime phone number, serial
number(s), and a copy of your original sales receipt and Warranty Registration Card.
• Send freight prepaid and insured using a traceable method to the nearest Oceanic Regional Facility, or to Oceanic

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: The procedures that follow must be closely adhered to avoid entrance of water into the unit.
Damage due to improper Battery replacement (or subsequent leakage of moisture into the unit) is not
covered by the OCL's 2 year warranty.
NOTE: The OCL can be sent to Oceanic Worldwide, Regional Distributor, or Authorized Dealer Service
for proper battery change service which includes pressure (depth) and leak testing to the max operating
depth. Standard charges for service will apply
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.
As an additional precautionary measure to prevent formation of moisture in the Battery Compartment, it is recommended
that the Battery be changed in an environment equivalent to the local outdoor temperature and humidity (e.g., do not
change the Battery in an air conditioned environment then take it outside during a hot sunny day).
Inspect the Buttons, Lens, and Housing to ensure they are not cracked or damaged. If there is any sign of moisture in the
OCL, DO NOT attempt to use it for diving (NORM, GAUG, or FREE) until it receives proper service by the Oceanic factory
or an Authorized Regional Distributor.
Data Retention
When the battery is removed, settings and nitrogen/oxygen calculations for repetitive dives will be retained in volatile
memory.
All parts needed for the battery change that follows are provided in the OCL Battery Kit available from your Oceanic
Dealer.
