DECOMPRESSION MODEL The programs within the OC1 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 OC1 dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression theory. Still, using the OC1, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other) No Decompression Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding decompression sickness, i.e.
INITIAL ACTIVATION OC1 Watch/Dive Computers are placed in a Deep Sleep mode prior to being shipped from the factory. The intent is to extend storage life of the Battery for up to 7 years, before the unit is initially placed in service.

The TMTs emit low frequency signals that radiate out in semicircular patterns parallel to the length dimension of the TMT. A coiled antenna inside the OC1 receives the signals when it is positioned within a zone parallel to or at a 45 degree angle to the TMT as illustrated.

If a Deco Stop Depth greater than 70 FT (21 M) is required, operation will enter VGM. This would be preceded by DV2. Operation would then continue in VGM during the remainder of that dive and for 24 hours after surfacing. VGM turns the OC1 into a digital instrument without any decompression or oxygen related calculations or displays.

If you are following these dive profiles, Oceanic advises that you should not use an OC1. If you exceed certain limits, the OC1 will not be able to help you get safely back to the surface. These situations exceed tested limits and can result in loss of some functions for 24 hours after the dive in which a violation occurred.

The mathematical models currently used in the OC1 are based on no decompression/decompression multilevel repetitive dive schedules. These algorithms do not take into account the physiological changes associated with the high pressures that competitive type Free diving can expose a diver to.

REFERENCE CAUTION: When the procedure provided in this section is used to change the OC1 Battery, you must be sure that the case o-ring is not pinched and that the OC1 is water tight before conduct- ing diving activities. Pre dive pressure testing by an Authorized Oceanic facility is highly recommended.
A USB Driver is provided on the Oceanlog CD as part of the Interface System. Fig. 158 - OC1 DATA PORT The OC1 is configured with a Data Port located on the side (Fig. 158a) that enables it to be connected to a PC through a USB port using the special Interface Cable supplied.
Instrument Lens Protector. Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater. • Soak and rinse the OC1 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. 160a), PC Interface Data Port (Fig. 160b), and Buttons are free of debris or obstructions.

• Inspect the Buttons, Lens, and Housing to ensure they are not cracked or damaged. WARNING: If damage or corrosion is found, return your OC1 to an Authorized Oceanic Dealer, and DO NOT attempt to use it until it has received factory prescribed service.
> 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 OC1 automatically adjusts to these conditions providing cor- rected Depth, and reduced No Deco and O2 Times at intervals of 1,000 feet (305 meters).
