NiTek Trio Dive Computer User Manual v1.2 49
Proper handling techniques
The NiTek Trio is constructed to withstand the most demanding diving
conditions. It is, however, a high precision instrument, which requires
proper care.
Caution: Failure to follow these handling techniques may result in
damage to the NiTek Trio.
• Do not store the computer in hot and/or humid environments. The
pressure transducer is sensitive to both heat and humidity. If
impaired, it may cause incorrect altitude or depth readings.
• When in hot and/or humid environments, dip the computer in
water for several minutes to cool it to room temperature before
using it. If it is cold, allow the computer to warm to room
temperature. Do not take it underwater immediately after doing so.
• Do not transport your NiTek Trio on an aircraft or take it to
altitude while it is sealed in an air-tight container. Doing so may
interfere with its ability to correctly read, display, and track depth
information.
• The NiTek Trio’s Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) may darken if left
in a hot environment (such as on a car’s dashboard). It will return
to normal once allowed to cool, however, extensive exposure to
heat may shorten LCD life.
• Be aware that weather-related changes in air-pressure can cause
incorrect display of altitude settings. Be sure to check indicated
altitude settings against actual altitude before use. Your NiTek Trio
is not to be disassembled by anyone other than Dive Rite or its
authorized dealers. Unauthorized disassembly will violate the
warranty.
• If the NiTek Trio does not appear to be functioning properly, do
not use it to dive. Return it to your authorized Dive Rite dealer for
repair.
• The NiTek Trio should not come in contact with solvents or any
type of chemical substances
• Do not use compressed air to dry the NiTek Trio
• Do not use the NiTek Trio in hyperbaric chambers if the device is
not fully submerged in water
• Always rinse the computer with freshwater after use
• Store the NiTek Trio in a cool, dry location. After diving, wipe the
computer dry and store it in a location separate from other damp
items.
