will impair correct contact.
• Lightly lubricate the battery hatch o-ring with silicon grease and install it
onto the battery hatch. DO NOT roll the o-ring over the threads of the
battery hatch. Instead, stretch it slightly to work it down over the slotted
end of the battery hatch and into the groove at the base of the threads.
NOTE: This o-ring must be a genuine Oceanic Part that can be
purchased from your Authorized Oceanic Dealer. Use of any
other o-ring will void the warranty.
• Carefully insert the battery hatch into the housing and turn slowly clock-
wise by hand to ensure correct threading. Turn until snug, then apply a
coin and tighten until secure, so the outer surface of the battery hatch is
flush with the outer surface of the housing.

FLOODED BATTERY COMPARTMENT

If water or corrosion is found in the battery compartment, it is best to have your
DataPlus inspected and cleaned by an Authorized Oceanic Dealer. If you are
attempting a repair in the field, proceed as follows:
• Inspect the lens and case closely to ensure they are not cracked or damaged.
• Inspect the button covering to ensure it does not have cuts or holes.
• Remove the batteries, discard and DO NOT reuse.
