BATTERY REPLACEMENT
NOTE: The procedures that follow must be closely adhered to. Dam-
age due to improper Battery replacement is not covered by the
ATOM's 2 year warranty.
When replacing the Battery in the ATOM, it is recommended that you
also replace the Battery(s) in the Transmitter(s), and vice-versa.
The Battery Compartment(s) 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(s), it is recommended that the Battery(s) be changed in an environment
equivalent to the local outdoor temperature and humidity (e.g., do not change the
Battery(s) in an air conditioned environment then take it outside during a hot sunny day).
Inspect the Buttons, Lens, and Housing(s) to ensure they are not cracked or damaged. If
there is any sign of moisture in the ATOM or Transmitter(s), DO NOT attempt to use the
ATOM for diving (NORM, GAUG, or FREE) until it receives proper service by the Oce-
anic factory or an Authorized Regional Distributor.
Hot Swap
If the new Battery can be inserted into the ATOM within 8 seconds after the old one is
removed (referred to as a Hot Swap), settings and nitrogen and oxygen calculations for
repetitive dives will be retained.
