Should your Data100 prove to be defective for any reason (other than those listed in the limitations section below) it will be repaired or replaced (at Oceanic's discretion) free of charge excluding shipping and handling charges. This warranty will be considered void if the registration card is not filled out completely at the time of purchase and mailed to Oceanic within 30 days of purchase, and/or if the annual inspection is not done according to this owner's guide. This warranty is non-transferrable and applies to the original purchaser only. All correspondence concerning this warranty must be accompanied by a copy of the original sales receipt and a copy of the owner's portion of the warranty registration card including the annual inspection record. Once each year you must return the Data100 to an Authorized Oceanic Dealer within 30 days of the original purchase date anniversary to keep the two year limited warranty in force. Annual inspection includes verification of depth accuracy and proper general function. Labor charges for the annual inspection are not covered by the warranty. You must provide a copy of the original sales receipt and a copy of the owner's portion of the warranty registration card including the annual service record to obtain warranty service. Statement of Limitations - General: Warranty does not cover damage from accident, abuse, battery leakage, tampering, lack of proper care and maintenance and/ or proper annual servicing, or improper use of the Data100. Modifications or repair by anyone other than an Oceanic Sales & Service Center authorized to service the Data100 will void the warranty.

PATENT NOTICE U.S. Patents have been issued, or applied for, to protect the following design features: Graphic Diver Interface, Pre Dive Planning Sequence, Data Sensing and Processing Device (U.S. Patent no. 4,882,678), Tissue Loading Bar Graph (U.S. Patent no. 4,882,687), and Variable Ascent Rate Indicator Bar Graph (U.S. Patent no. 5,156,055). DECOMPRESSION MODEL The programs within the Data100 simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is merely a way to apply a limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The Data100 dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression theory. Still, using the Data100, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other) No Decompression Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding decompression sickness, i.e. "the bends." Every diver's physiology is different, and can even vary from day to day. No machine can predict how your body will react to a particular dive profile. * The blank Oceanic DiveLog in the Reference section may be duplicated for personal use only, not for resale. vi DATA100
