Care and maintenance

46 NiTek Duo Dive Computer User Manual

Proper handling techniques

The NiTek Duo is constructed to withstand the most demanding

diving conditions. It is, however, a high precision instrument,

which requires proper care.

Caution: Failure to follow these handling techniques may result

in damage to the NiTek Duo.

• 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 incorrect

altitude or depth readings.

• When in hot and/or humid environments, dip the computer

in water for several minutes to cool it to room temperature

before using it. If it is cold, allow the computer to warm to

room temperature. Do not take it underwater immediately

after doing so.

• Do not transport your NiTek Duo on an aircraft or take it to

altitude while it is sealed in an air-tight container. Doing so

may interfere with its ability to correctly read, display, and

track depth information.

• The NiTek Duo’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.

Your NiTek Duo is not to be disassembled by anyone other

than Dive Rite or its authorized dealers. Unauthorized

disassembly will violate the warranty.

• If the NiTek Duo does not appear to be functioning properly,

do not use it to dive. Return it to your authorized Dive Rite

dealer for repair.

• The NiTek Duo should not come in contact with solvents or

any type of chemical substances
