The Element II uses (1) 3 volt CR2450 Lithium Battery which
should maintain operation for 1 year or 300 dive hours if 2
dives are conducted during each dive period. The Element II
checks battery voltage every 2 minutes while on the surface.
• If voltage of the Element II decreases to the Warning level
(2.75 volts), the Battery icon will appear on Surface display
screens (Fig. 3a) as an indication that the Battery should be
changed prior to commencing a series of dives.
• If voltage decreases to the Alarm level (2.50 volts), the
Battery icon and graphic BAT will flash for 5 seconds then
the unit will shut Off.
• Low Battery conditions are not displayed during dives. If a
Low Battery condition was not displayed prior to starting a
Dive, and a Low Battery Condition occurs during the dive,
there will be sufficient Battery power remaining to maintain
operation for the remainder of that dive.
• Upon surfacing, the Low Battery icon will be displayed. If
voltage was at the Alarm level (2.50 volts), the graphics
CHG and BAT will alternate for 5 seconds (Fig. 4a)
followed by shut down of the unit until the Battery is
changed.
