CARE AND CLEANING
Protect your unit from shock, excessive temperatures, exposure to chemicals, and tampering. Protect the lens against scratches
with a Instrument Lens Protector. Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater.
• Soak and rinse the unit in fresh water at the end of each day of diving, and check to ensure that the areas around the
openings leading to the Low Pressure (Depth) Sensor (Fig. 63a) and Button are free of debris or obstructions.
• To dissolve salt crystals, soak in lukewarm water or a slightly acidic bath (50% white vinegar/50% fresh water). After
removal from the bath, place the unit under gently running fresh water and towel dry before storing.
• Transport your dive computer cool, dry, and protected.
INSPECTIONS AND SERVICE
Your dive computer should be inspected annually by an Authorized AERIS Dealer who will perform a factory prescribed function
check and inspection for damage or wear. To keep the 2 year limited warranty in effect, this inspection must be completed one
year after purchase (+/- 30 days).
AERIS recommends that you continue to have an inspection performed every year to ensure it is working properly. The costs of
annual inspections are not covered under the terms of the 2 year limited warranty.
To Obtain Service:
Take your dive computer to an Authorized AERIS Dealer.
To return your unit to AERIS:
• Record all data in the Log. All data will be erased during factory service.
• Package it using a protective cushioning material.
• Include a legible note stating the specific reason for return, your name, address, daytime phone number, serial number, and
a copy of your original sales receipt and Warranty Registration Card.
• Send freight prepaid and insured using a traceable method to AERIS.
• If shipping to AERIS, obtain an RA (Return Authorization) number by contacting AERIS Customer Service at 510/546-0010
or send an email to info2@diveaeris.com.
• Non warranty service must be prepaid. COD is not accepted.

The procedures that follow must be closely adhered to to avoid entrance of water into the unit.
Damage due to improper Battery replacement (or subsequent leakage of moisture into the unit) is
not covered by the product's 2 year warranty.
MODULE REMOVAL FROM BOOT
If the module is in a console, bend the rubber console boot back to expose the edge of the module. If the boot is flexible enough
to permit, you may bend it back far enough to scoop the module out with your finger. Otherwise, it may be necessary to insert a
blunt screwdriver until the tip rests just underneath the module.
DO NOT pry the module from the console! Slowly increase the pressure under the module by releasing the tension on the rubber
boot. The module will slide up the screwdriver and exit the console.
If the module is in a wrist boot, it will be necessary to peel the lips of the boot downward off the module while applying pressure
from underneath, working it out slowly.
When the battery is replaced within 8 seconds, settings and calculations for repetitive dives are re-
tained in memory for repetitive dives.
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).
Battery Cover Removal
• Turn the module over to expose the Battery Cover.
• While applying steady inward pressure on the center of the Battery Cover, rotate the Retaining Ring 10 degrees clockwise
by pressing against the upper tab of the Ring with a small blade screwdriver (Fig. 64).
• Lift the 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 Cover.
