battery showed low, so we changed it. The screen will not light up at all

The screen on the Oceanic GEO 2 is not lighting up properly after changing the battery likely because the original battery leaked and caused internal damage. Although the new battery powers the unit (screen lights up faintly), the display is unreadable, indicating possible damage to the screen or internal electronics from the battery leak.
The programs within the GEO 2 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 GEO 2 dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression theory.

(*The Backlight will turn Off if L is depressed for more than 10 seconds.) • Press L again to activate as desired. Extensive use of the backlight reduces estimated battery life. Also, the backlight does not operate during a low battery condition or when the GEO 2 is connected to a PC.
AUDIBLE ALARM While operating in NORM or GAUG Mode the Audible will emit 1 beep per second for 10 seconds when alarms strike, unless it is set Off. During that time, the Audible can be acknowledged and silenced by pressing the S button (less than 2 seconds). A LED Warning Light, on the lower end of the housing, is synchronized with the Audible and flashes as the Audible sounds.

As you ascend segments recede, indicating that additional no deco time is available. The GEO 2 monitors 12 different nitrogen compartments simulta- neously and the TLBG displays the one that is in control of your dive at any given time.
VARI (NORM/GAUG) The VARI (Fig. 68a) provides a visual representation of ascent speed (i.e., an ascent speedometer). The segments represent two sets of speeds which change at a reference depth of 60 FT (18 M). Refer to the chart. When ascent is too fast, the audible will sound, and all VARI segments and the graphic SLO will flash (Fig.
ALGORITHM The GEO 2 is configured with 2 algorithms which allows you to choose which set of NDLs (No Deco Limits) will be used for nitrogen/oxygen calculations and displays relating to Plan and DTR (Dive Time Remaining). You can select to use either the DSAT or the PZ+. The selection will lock in for 24 hours after the last dive.
DEEP STOP (DS), No Deco only When the DS selection is set On, it will trigger during NORM No Deco dives when you descend to 80 FT (24 M), then calculate (and continually update) a Stop Depth equal to 1/2 the Max Depth. While 10 FT (3 M) deeper than the calculated DS, you will be able to access a DS Pre- view screen that will display the current DS Stop Depth/Time.
Page 68
• If the SS was set for OFF or Timer, the display will not appear. • In the event that you descend 10 FT (3 M) deeper than the Stop Depth for 10 seconds during the countdown, or the countdown reaches 0:00, the No Deco Main screen will replace the SS Main screen which will reappear upon ascent to within 5 FT (1.5 M) deeper than the Safety Stop Depth set for 1 second.
DTR (DIVE TIME REMAINING) The GEO 2 constantly monitors No Deco status and O2 Ac- cumulation, and will display whichever Time is the least amount available as DTR on the No Deco Dive Main screen. The Time being displayed will be identified by the NDC or O2 icon.
OTR (O2 DTR) When set for Nitrox operation, O2 during a dive is displayed on an ALT screen as a % of allowed saturation (Fig. 71a) identi- fied by the O2SAT icons. The limit for O2 exposure (100%) is set at 300 OTU (oxygen tolerance units) per dive or 24 hour period.

CV (CONDITIONAL VIOLATION) Upon ascent above the required Deco Stop Depth, operation will enter CV during which no off gassing credit will be given.

PC INTERFACE The GEO 2 is configured with a Data Port (Fig. 111a) that enables it to be connected to a PC USB port using a special interface cable that is available as an optional accessory. The USB Driver required for the interface system is download- able from the Oceanic Worldwide web site.
Page 107
Upon sensing an interface connection, the requesting device (PC) connects to the GEO 2 and is prepared for upload of settings or download of data which is then initiated using the PC program. During the process, there is a 2 minute window during which a PC countdown screen is displayed on the GEO 2 (Fig.

Questions and answers
battery showed low, so we changed it. The screen will not light up at all
The screen on the Oceanic GEO 2 is not lighting up properly after changing the battery likely because the original battery leaked and caused internal damage. Although the new battery powers the unit (screen lights up faintly), the display is unreadable, indicating possible damage to the screen or internal electronics from the battery leak.
