OPERATING TEMPERATURE
The 500AI will operate in almost any temperature diving environment in the
world (Fig. 16) between 32° and 140°F (0° and 60°C).
At extremely low temperatures, the LCD may become sluggish, but this will
not affect it's accuracy. If stored or transported in extremely low temperature
areas (below freezing), you should warm the module and its battery with body
heat before diving.
Even though the 500AI will operate in this wide range of temperatures, it is
possible to damage the electronics if left exposed to direct sunlight,
or in a hot confined space (like a car trunk). After a dive, cover the
500AI and keep it out of the sun.
If inadvertently left in the direct sunlight for a long period, the LCD display
may become totally black. If this occurs, immediately immerse the Display
Module in water. The display should recover its normal appearance after a few
minutes.
NOTE: Damage from excess heat, or cold, is not covered by the
500AI two year limited warranty.
