AERIS Consumer Notice #CN99-01

Important notice to owners of AERIS:
SAVANT, ATMOS Pro, ATMOS Sport, 100S, & 300G

INTRODUCTION

AERIS has received a few isolated reports of units that have shut down and/or cleared their memory of repetitive dive data being calculated on the basis of previous dives. This random occurrence was upon reactivating the unit while in the Fly Mode.

EXPLANATION

Close examination and extensive testing have revealed that an interruption of an internal electronic communication can occur when a defective battery, or one with low power level, is in the unit and the computer is reactivated by depressing the activation button while in the Fly Mode. This may randomly occur if the unit is reactivated at a specific instance while a periodic self-diagnostic voltage check is being performed. The result is that the defective or low-power battery may create a significant voltage dip causing the unit to shut down, erasing any calculations. Should the unit be restarted and dove, the unit would function as if no previous dive occurred. This could potentially result in serious injury or death of the user.

ACTION

Although the likelihood of this occurring is highly improbable, AERIS recommends that you return your unit for factory replacement with one reconfigured to prevent such an occurrence.
  • ATMOS Pro, ATMOS Sport, 100S, and 300G models: Affected units have serial numbers between 0001 and 5999. Units with serial number 6000 and greater are not affected. Units not affected may also be quickly identified by noting a special manufacturing (black) dot located on the decal, as shown below. Units produced prior to the modification were not identified in this way.
  • SAVANT model: Affected units have serial numbers between 0001 and 1779. Units with serial number 1780 and greater are not affected. The serial number is located on the back of the unit, as shown below.
