1 Technical information
Operating altitude:
with decompression information: sea level up to approx. 4000 m
w/o decompression, automatic gauge mode (at any altitude)
Max. displayed depth:
PRIME
90m;
TEC
120m, resolution between 0.8 m and 99.9 m: 0.1 m, >99.9 m: 1m
• Do not dive deeper than the limits given by the chosen fraction of oxygen
(nitrogen narcosis, oxygen toxicity).
• Never dive deeper than your training qualification (experience) allows you.
• Always observe local dive depth restrictions.
Decompression calculation depth range:
PRIME
0.8m to 90m;
TEC
0.8 to 120m
Maximum environment pressure:
PRIME
10 bar;
TEC
13 bar
Clock:
Quartz clock, time, date, dive time display up to 199 minutes.

Operating temperature:
-10° to +50°C (14°F to 122°F).
Power supply:
CR2450, recommended battery: SONY CR2450, RENATA CR2450
Life of the battery:
2-3years or 200-300 dives. Actual life of the battery depends on the quantity
of dives per year, the use of the backlight and the length of the dives. In cold
water the life of the battery is reduced. Not all CR2450 batteries are the same,
and low quality batteries can have very short life. We strongly recommend the
use of SONY or RENATA batteries.
2 Maintenance
Aladin
®
is virtually maintenance free. All you need to do is to rinse it carefully with fresh water after each
use and to have the batteries changed when needed ->45. To avoid possible problems with your Aladin
®
,
the following recommendations will help assure that it will give you years of trouble free service:
• Avoid dropping or jarring your Aladin
®
.
• Do not allow your Aladin
®
to be exposed to direct, intense sunlight.
• Rinse your Aladin
®
thoroughly with fresh water after each dive.
• Do not store your Aladin
®
in a sealed container; make sure there is free ventilation.
• If there are problems with the water contacts, use soapy water to clean
Aladin
®
and dry it thoroughly. The surface of your Aladin
®
housing can be trea-
ted with silicone grease. Do not apply grease to the water contacts!
• Do not clean Aladin
®
with liquids containing solvent (apart from water).
• Check the battery capacity before each dive ->13.
• If the battery icon appears, replace the battery ->45.
• Diving with a weak battery: Aladin
®
may stop working during the dive.
Service icon and error code "E3" or "E6" appear. Close the dive and replace
the battery ->45.
• Service icon and error code "E3" appear on the surface: replace the battery ->45.
• All error codes other than E3: Aladin
®
must not be used for any further dives.
Take your dive computer to an authorized SCUBAPRO UWATEC dealer.
2.1 Replacing the battery (Battery kit 06.201.919 includes battery and Teflon coated o-ring)
Removing the battery clears all physiological data including saturation. This
means that for a repetitive dive the computer will not compute correctly.
Diving after replacing the battery when there is desaturation time left on the
computer can lead to serious injury or death from decompression sickness.
Change the battery only under these conditions:
• After a dive if you know you will not be diving, flying or going to higher
altitude for the next 48 hours.
• Before a dive if there is no desaturation time left on the computer.
The change must be made with particular care in order to prevent water from
seeping in. The warranty does not cover damages due to an improper repla-
cement of the battery.
