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
GEO, 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.
Hot Swap
If the new Battery can be inserted within 8 seconds after the
old one is removed (referred to as a Hot Swap), settings and
Ni-O2 calculations for repetitive dives will be retained.
CAUTION: Damage due to improper Battery
replacement is not covered by the limited 2
year warranty.
Battery Removal
Locate the Battery Compartment on the back of the unit.
Rotate the Battery Hatch clockwise 10 degrees using the
special Battery Hatch Tool provided (Fig. 117), or by
pushing the lower portion to the left while pushing the
upper portion to the right (Fig. 118).
