DECOMPRESSION MODEL The programs within the OCi 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 OCi dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression theory. Still, using the OCi, just as using the U.S. -

Page 66: Reference
CAUTION: When the procedure provided in this section is used to change the Battery, you must be sure that the case o-ring is not pinched and that the OCi is water tight before conducting diving activities. Pre dive pressure testing by an Authorized Oceanic facility is highly recommended. -
Page 67: Pc Interface
A USB Driver is provided on the Oceanic CD which must be installed on your PC prior to use of the Interface System. The OCi is confi gured with a Data Port located on the side (Fig. 174a) that enables it to be connected to a PC USB port using the special Interface Cable. -
Page 68: Care And Cleaning
Instrument Lens Protector. Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater. • Soak and rinse the OCi in fresh water at the end of each day of diving, and check to ensure that the areas around the Low Pressure (Depth) Sensor (Fig. 177a), PC Interface Data Port (Fig. 177b), and Buttons are free of debris or obstructions. -
Page 69: Altitude Sensing And Adjustment
> No adjustments are made during any time that the Wet Contacts are bridged. When diving in high altitude waters from 3,001 to 14,000 feet (916 to 4,270 meters), the OCi automatically adjusts to these conditions providing corrected Depth, and reduced No Deco and O2 Times at intervals of 1,000 feet (305 meters). -
