| | | CARE & MAINTENANCE The Quantum is a tough and durable instrument, but it still needs to be protected from excessive shock, extreme heat, chemical attack, and tampering. ACAUTION: Do not store the Quantum near chemicals, such as gasoline. Do not use silicone sprays or any other type of propellants near the Quantum. Do not clean the computer with alcohol or any other solvents. Exposing the Quantum to chemicals and solvents may damage the lens and case. Care before the dive The Quantum can withstand the normal bumps associated with Scuba diving, however, it cannot withstand the impact of heavy objects, such as a weight belt or SCUBA cylinder. Do not leave it exposed where someone could accidentally step on it or drop something on it. Care during the dive The most common damage inflicted on a computer while diving is scratches in the lens. If the Quantum is worn on the wrist, you must be careful when reaching into rocky holes and crevices to avoid scratching the computer. If you have the Quantum in a gauge console, secure the gauge close to you body so the gauge doesn't get dragged over coral and rocks. It is highly recommended that you purchase a third-party gauge retainer and secure the console to your buoyancy compensator. 46 | | |
