WARNINGS:
Never, under any circumstances, poke any object through any slots or holes of the module. Doing so may damage the
depth sensor, possibly resulting in erroneous depth displays.
If you are in doubt about the accuracy of your unit's depth readings, DO NOT attempt to dive with it until it has been
inspected by AERIS.
Never pressure test the module in an air environment. Doing so may damage the depth sensor, possibly resulting in
erroneous depth or time readings.
Never spray aerosols of any kind on, or near, an AERIS instrument. The propellants may chemically attack the plastic.
When a Low battery condition is displayed prior to a dive, DO NOT attempt to dive with the unit until the battery is
replaced.
CARE AND CLEANING
Protect your F11 from shock, excessive temperatures, exposure to chemicals, and tampering. Protect the lens against scratches with a Instrument Lens
Protector. Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater.
• Soak and rinse the F11 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. 78a), Computer Interface Data Port (Fig. 78b), and Buttons are free of debris or obstructions.
• To dissolve salt crystals, soak in lukewarm water or a slightly acidic bath (50% white vinegar/50% fresh water). After removal from the bath,
place the F11 under gently running fresh water and towel dry before storing.
• Transport your F11 cool, dry, and protected.
INSPECTIONS AND SERVICE
Your F11 should be inspected annually by an Authorized AERIS Dealer who will perform a factory prescribed function check and inspection for dam-
age or wear. To keep the 2 year limited warranty in effect, this inspection must be completed one year after purchase (+/- 30 days).
AERIS recommends that you continue to have an inspection performed every year to ensure it is working properly. The costs of annual inspections are
not covered under the terms of the 2 year limited warranty.
To Obtain Service:
Take your F11 to an Authorized AERIS Dealer.
To return your F11 to AERIS:
• Record all data in the viewable Log and/or download the data in memory. All data will be erased during factory service.
• Package it using a protective cushioning material.
• Include a legible note stating the specific reason for return, your name, address, daytime phone number, serial number(s), and a copy of your
original sales receipt and Warranty Registration Card.
• Send freight prepaid and insured using a traceable method to AERIS.

bATTERY REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: The procedures that follow must be closely adhered to avoid entrance of water into the unit.
Damage due to improper battery replacement (or subsequent leakage of moisture into the unit) is not
covered by the F11's 2 year warranty.
NOTE: The F11 can be taken to an Authorized AERIS Dealer or sent to AERIS for proper battery change
service which includes pressure (depth) and leak testing to the max operating depth. Standard charges
for service will apply
The Battery Compartment should only be opened in a dry and clean environment with extreme care taken to prevent the entrance of
moisture or dust.
As an additional precautionary measure to prevent formation of moisture in the Battery Compartment, it is recommended that the
Battery be changed in an environment equivalent to the local outdoor temperature and humidity (e.g., do not change the Battery in
an air conditioned environment then take it outside during a hot sunny day).
Inspect the Buttons, Lens, and Housing to ensure they are not cracked or damaged. If there is any sign of moisture in the F11, DO
NOT attempt to use it for diving until it receives proper service.
Data Retention
When the battery is removed, settings and calculations for repetitive dives will be retained in volatile memory until a new battery is
installed.
All parts needed for the battery change that follows are provided in the F11 Battery Kit available from your AERIS Dealer.
