Page 30: Tec Diving With Microbubble Levels (Mb)
Aladin ® TEC features 6 microbubble levels (L0-L5). Level L0 corresponds to UWATEC's well-known decom- pression model ZH-L8 ADT and does not require level stops due to microbubble formation. Levels L1 to L5 offer additional protection from microbubble formation with level L5 offering the highest protection. -

® Take your dive computer to an authorized SCUBAPRO UWATEC dealer. 2.1 Replacing the battery (Battery kit 06.201.919 includes battery and Teflon coated o-ring) Removing the battery clears all physiological data including saturation. This means that for a repetitive dive the computer will not compute correctly. - Page 46 If necessary, clean the parts with a soft cloth. Fit the o-ring in the o-ring groove of the battery cap. 7. Use only an original UWATEC o-ring PN 06.201.610. This o-ring is Teflon WARNING coated and does not require additional lubrication.
