Oceanic Watch / Dive Computer GEO User Manual

NOTE: Extensive use of the Backlight reduces

estimated Battery life. Also, the Backlight

does not operate during a Low Battery Condi-

tion or when the GEO is connected to a PC.

POWER SUPPLY

The GEO utilizes one 3 volt CR2430 Lithium Battery. When

used as a Dive Computer, the battery should operate normally

for 1 year or 300 dive hours if 2 dives are conducted during

each dive period. The GEO checks its battery voltage every 2

minutes during surface operation.

If voltage decreases to the Warning level (2.75 volts), the

Battery icon will appear on Surface display screens (fig.

3a) as an indication that the Battery should be changed

prior to commencing a series of dives.

If voltage decreases to the Alarm level (2.50 volts), the

Battery icon will flash and the message CHNG > BATT

will scroll at the top of the display (Fig. 4). Operation will

automatically revert to Main Time Mode. The GEO would

then only operate in Watch modes until the Battery

becomes completely depleted.

Low Battery Warning/Alarm conditions are not displayed

during Dive Modes.

If a Low Battery Condition was not displayed prior to

starting a Dive, and a Low Battery Condition occurs

during the dive, there will be sufficient Battery power to

maintain operation for the remainder of that dive.
