3.01 General Handling
Do not store the computer in hot and/or humid environments.
The pressure transducer is sensitive to both heat and humidity.
If impaired, it may cause display of incorrect altitude or depth
data.
When in hot and/or humid environments, dip the computer in
water for several minutes to cool it to room temperature before
using it. Similarly, allow the computer to completely warm to
room temperature if it is cold and, again, do not take it under
water immediately after doing so. Failure to follow these in-
structions may result in damage to the IQ-600.
The IQ-600’s Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) may darken if
left in a hot environment (such as on a car’s dashboard). It
will return to normal once allowed to cool; however, extensive
exposure to heat may shorten LCD life.
Be aware that weather-related changes in air-pressure can
cause incorrect display of altitude settings. Be sure to check
indicated altitude settings against actual altitude before use.
Other than for battery replacement, following the procedures
outlined in this manual, the IQ-600 is not to be disassembled
by anyone other than TUSA or its authorized dealers.
Unauthorized disassembly will violate the warranty.
If the IQ-600 does not appear to be functioning properly—in
any manner—do not use it to dive. Return it to your author-
ized TUSA dealer for repair.
