    The programs within the VEO 1.0 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 VEO 1.0 dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression theory.

    CONTROL BUTTON The Control Button allows you to select display options and ac- cess specific information when you want to see it. BAR GRAPHS TLBG (Tissue Loading Bar Graph) The TLBG (Fig. 1a) represents tissue loading of nitrogen, show- ing your relative no decompression or decompression status. As your depth and elapsed dive time increase, segments will add to the TLBG, and as you ascend to shallower depths, the segments will begin to recede, indicating that additional no decompres-...

  • Page 10: Vari

    VARI (Variable Ascent Rate Indicator) The VARI (Fig. 2a) provides a visual representation of ascent speed (i.e., an ascent speedometer). The segments of the VARI represent two sets of speeds which change at a reference depth of 60 FT (18 M). Refer to the chart for segment values.

    You can select to use either the DSAT or the PZ+. The selection will lock in for 24 hours after the last dive. DSAT has been the standard used by Oceanic in all of its dive computers until this time. It features NDLs that are based on exposures and test data which also formed validation for the PADI RDP.

  • Page 54: Care And Cleaning

    INSPECTIONS AND SERVICE Your VEO should be inspected annually by an Authorized Oceanic Dealer who will perform a factory prescribed function check and inspection for damage or wear. To keep the 2 year limited warranty in effect, this inspection must be completed one year after purchase (+/- 30 days).
  • Page 55 Take your VEO to your local Authorized Oceanic Dealer. If required to return your VEO to the Oceanic USA factory: • Obtain an RA (Return Authorization) number by contacting Oceanic USA at 510/562-0500 or send an e-mail to service@oceanicusa.com. • Record all dive data in the Log. All data will be erased during factory service.

  • Page 56: Module Removal From Boot

    MODULE REMOVAL FROM BOOT If the module is in a console, bend the rubber console boot back to expose the edge of the module. If the boot is flexible enough to permit, you may bend it back far enough to scoop the module out with your finger.

  • Page 57: Battery Removal

    • Inspect the Button, Lens, and Housing to ensure they are not cracked or damaged. WARNING: If damage or corrosion is found, return your VEO to an Authorized Oceanic Dealer, and DO NOT attempt to use it until it has received factory prescribed service.

    RETURNING THE MODULE TO BOOT • If the boot was fitted with a spacer and it was previously removed, replace the spacer into the boot. • Orient the module over the opening in the boot, and dip the bottom edge into it while pressing the top edge with the palm of your hand.

  • Page 61: Altitude Sensing And Adjustment

    ALTITUDE SENSING AND ADJUSTMENT Altitude (i.e., ambient pressure) is measured upon activation and every 15 minutes until a dive is made. > Measurements are only taken when the unit is dry. > Two readings are taken, the second reading 5 seconds after the first. The readings must be within 1 foot (30 cm) of each other to record that ambient pressure as the current Altitude.
