BATTERY REPLACEMENT
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.
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).
NOTE: If the old Battery can be removed and the new
one inserted within 8 seconds, nitrogen calculations
and settings, will be retained for repetitive dives.
Battery Hatch Removal
Locate the Battery Compartment on the back of the Module.
While applying steady inward pressure on the center of the
Battery Hatch, rotate the Hatch Retaining Ring 10 degrees
clockwise by pressing against the upper tab of the Retaining
Ring with a small blade screwdriver (Fig. 90).
Lift the Hatch Ring up and away from the Housing, or turn
the Module over to allow the Ring to drop out into your
hand.
Remove the Battery Hatch.
