Never touch the metal surface of the battery with bare fingers.
The two battery poles must never be short circuited.
Procedure:
To replace the battery you need a coin or
the SCUBAPRO universal tool
and a clean cloth.
• A leaking battery cap may lead to the destruction of Aladin
®
by
water see-
ping in or cause Aladin
®
to switch off without prior notice.
• Always open the battery compartment in a dry and clean environment.
• Only open the battery compartment to replace the battery.
1. Dry Aladin
®
with a soft towel.
2. Turn the battery cap with a coin or with the
SCUBAPRO universal tool.
3. Remove the battery cap.
4. Remove the o-ring carefully. Do not damage
the sealing surfaces.
5. Remove the battery. Do not touch the contacts.
Protect the environment and dispose the battery properly.
If you notice traces of seeping water, damages, or other defects on the o-ring,
do not use Aladin
®
for further dives. Take it to an authorized SCUBAPRO
UWATEC dealer for check and repair.
6. Always insert a new o-ring when you replace the battery and dispose the
old o-ring. Make sure that the new o-ring is in perfect condition, and that
o-ring, o-ring groove and the sealing surfaces are free of dust and dirt.
If necessary, clean the parts with a soft cloth. Fit the o-ring in the o-ring
groove of the battery cap.
7. Use only an original UWATEC o-ring PN 06.201.610. This o-ring is Teflon
coated and does not require additional lubrication.
8. Do not lubricate the o-ring as the lubricant will chemically attack the bat-
tery cap.
9. Check the proper polarity of the battery. Aladin
®
can be
damaged if you do not insert the battery correctly.
Insert the new battery, with "+" pointing outwards, into
the battery compartment.
After battery replacement Aladin
®
will perform an automatic test
(8 sec.) and gives a short beep when the test is done.
10.The battery cap can be installed with a ±120° offset. The
alignment circles are there to ensure proper positioning
of the cap. If the rotation is stopped before alignment,
watertightness may not be ensured. If the rotation is for-
ced beyond the alignment, the cap may break. Damage
to Aladin
®
due to improper placement of the battery cap
is not covered by warranty.
Push the battery cap firmly down and turn it clockwise until
the two circles
are aligned.
11.Check Aladin
®
by switching on ->18 .
