DataTrans Plus

iii

WARNINGS:

• The DataTrans Plus is intended for use by recreational divers who have successfully completed a

nationally recognized course in scuba diving, and diving with enriched nitrogen-oxygen (nitrox)

mixtures.

• It is intended only for no decompression diving, NOT intentional decompression diving.

• It must not be used by untrained persons who may not have knowledge of the potential risks and

hazards of scuba diving, and diving with enriched nitrogen-oxygen (nitrox) mixtures.

• You must obtain scuba certification, and certification in diving with enriched nitrogen-oxygen

mixtures (nitrox) before using the DataTrans Plus if you have not already done so.

• It is NOT for use by military and commercial divers.

• It should NOT be utilized for any competitive, or repetitive square wave or decompression diving, as

it is intended solely for recreational use and no decompression multilevel diving.

• As with all underwater life support equipment, improper use or misuse of this product can cause

serious injury or death.

• Never participate in sharing or swapping of a dive computer.

• Conduct your dives in such a manner so as to insure that you continuously check the computer's

proper function.

• Read and understand this owner’s guide completely before diving with the DataTrans Plus.

• If you do not fully understand how to use this dive computer, or if you have any questions, you should

seek instruction in its use from your authorized Oceanic dealer before you utilize this product.

Pay special attention to items marked with this Warning symbol.

LIMITED TWO-YEAR WARRANTY

Oceanic guarantees, to the original purchaser only, that the DataTrans Plus will be free of defects in materials and/or craftsmanship

under normal recreational multilevel scuba use for two years from date of purchase, provided proper care and annual service are per-

formed as described within this owner’s guide. Should your DataTrans Plus prove to be defective for any reason (other than those listed

in the limitations section below) it will be repaired or replaced (at Oceanic’s discretion) free of charge excluding shipping and handling

charges.

This warranty will be considered void if the DataTrans Plus was purchased from anyone other than an Authorized

Oceanic Dealer, and/or if the registration card is not filled out completely at the time of purchase and mailed to Oceanic within 30 days

of purchase, and/or if the annual inspection is not done according to this owner’s guide. This warranty is non-transferrable and applies to

the original purchaser only. All correspondence concerning this warranty must be accompanied by a copy of the original sales receipt and

a copy of the owner’s portion of the warranty registration card including the annual inspection record.

Once each year you must return the DataTrans Plus to an Authorized Oceanic Dealer within 30 days of the original

purchase date anniversary to keep the two year limited warranty in force. Annual inspection includes verification of depth

accuracy and proper general function. Labor charges for the annual inspection are not covered by the warranty. You must provide a copy

of the original sales receipt and a copy of the owner’s portion of the warranty registration card including the annual service record to

obtain warranty service.

Statement of Limitations - General:

Warranty does not cover damage from accident, abuse, battery leakage, tampering, lack of proper care and maintenance

and/or proper annual servicing, or improper use of the DataTrans Plus. Modifications or repair by anyone other than an

Oceanic Sales & Service Center authorized to service the DataTrans Plus will void the warranty. Oceanic will not be responsible for

recovery or replacement of the product in the event of loss or theft. Oceanic, its distributors, and retailers make no warranties, either

expressed or implied, with respect to this product or its owner’s guide except those stated in the preceding paragraphs. In consideration

of the sale of the DataTrans Plus to you, you agree and understand that in no event will Oceanic, its distributors or

retailers, be held liable for any personal injuries resulting from its operation, or for any other damages whether direct,

indirect, incidental, or consequential even if Oceanic is advised of such damages. Warranty does not extend to plastic

gauge face, o-rings, batteries, or damage due to accident, abuse, modification, or tampering.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or liabilities for incidental or consequential damages, so the

above limitation may not apply to you.

PATENT NOTICE

U.S. Patents have been issued, or applied for, to protect the following design features:

Graphic Diver Interface, Pre Dive Planning Sequence, Dive Time Remaining, Breathing Gas Time Remaining Bar Graph, Variable

Breathing Gas Consumption Bar Graph, DataTrans Plus Message Box, DataTrans Plus Mode Menu Structure, Breathing Gas Alarm Set

Point, Depth Alarm Set Point, Breathing Gas Time Remaining (U.S. Patent no. 4,586,136), Data Sensing and Processing Device (U.S.

Patent no. 4,882,678), Tissue Loading Bar Graph (U.S. Patent no. 4,882,687), and Variable Ascent Rate Indicator Bar Graph (U.S. Patent

no. 5,156,055).

DECOMPRESSION MODEL

The programs within the DataTrans Plus simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is

merely a way to apply a limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The DataTrans Plus dive computer model is based upon the

latest research and experiments in decompression theory. Still, using the DataTrans Plus, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other)

No Decompression Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding decompression sickness, i.e. “the bends.” Every diver’s physiology is

different, and can even vary from day to day. No machine can predict how your body will react to a particular dive profile.

FCC ID: MH8A

FCC Compliance:
