OCi OPERATING MANUAL
© 2002 Design, 2013 Doc. No. 12-5335-r01 (6/27/13)
CARE AND CLEANING
Protect your OCi 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 OCi 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. 177a), PC Interface Data Port (Fig. 177b), and Buttons are free of debris or obstructions.
• To dissolve salt crystals, use lukewarm water or a slightly acidic bath (50% white vinegar/50% fresh water). After removal
from the bath, place the OCi under gently running fresh water and towel dry before storing.
• Transport your OCi cool, dry, and protected.
INSPECTIONS AND SERVICE
Your OCi 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).
Oceanic recommends that you continue to have an inspection performed every year to ensure it is working properly. The costs of
annual inspections, or inspections relating to water tight integrity, are not covered under the terms of the 2 year limited warranty.
To Obtain Service:
Take your OCi to an Authorized Oceanic Dealer or send it to the nearest Oceanic Regional Facility.
To return your OCi to Oceanic:
• Record all dive data in the Log and/or download the data stored 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 the nearest Oceanic Regional Facility, or to Oceanic USA.
• If shipping to Oceanic USA, obtain an RA (Return Authorization) number by contacting Oceanic at 510-562-0500 x761 or

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 OCi's 2 year warranty.
NOTE: The OCi can be sent to Oceanic Worldwide, Regional Distributor, or Authorized Dealer Service
for proper battery change service which includes pressure (depth) and leak testing to the max operat-
ing 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 OCi,
DO NOT attempt to use it for diving (NORM, GAUG, or FREE) until it receives proper service by the Oceanic factory or an
Authorized Regional Distributor.
Data Retention
When the battery is removed, settings and nitrogen/oxygen calculations for repetitive dives will be retained in volatile memory
until a new battery is installed. You will have the choice of saving or deleting the data. The Compass will need to be calibrated
after the new battery is installed.
All parts needed for the battery change that follows are provided in the OCi Battery Kit available from your Oceanic Dealer.
Battery Removal
• There is no need to remove the straps.
• Remove the (4) retaining screws located on the back of the case (Fig. 178) by turning them counter clockwise with a small
flat tip 3mm screw driver.
• Carefully separate the front and back sections. If necessary, insert a small flat tip screw driver in the slot machined into the
Cover at the 11 o'clock position (Fig. 179A) and gently pry the Battery Cover loose, then lift it off the case (Fig. 179B).
• Turn the case to one side to drop the Battery into your hand. If necessary, gently loosen it with the tip of your finger (Fig.
180). DO NOT use tools to pry it out, or short the positive (+) top of the Battery to the negative ( - ) contact under it.
• Discard the Battery according to local regulations governing disposal of Lithium batteries.
