F.10 v.3 OPERATING MANUAL
INITIAL ACTIVATION
Oceanic Watch type dive gauges are placed in a Deep Sleep mode prior to being shipped from the factory. The intent is to extend
storage life of the Battery for up to 7 years, before the unit is initially placed in service.
In this mode, Date and Time are updated as they normally would be. However, they are not displayed. Upon waking the F10v3 up,
the correct Date and USA Pacific Time will be displayed and it will be ready to operate with full functions.
To wake the F10v3 up from Deep Sleep mode, simultaneously depress the upper/right (S) and lower/left (A) buttons for 2 seconds
until the display comes full ON displaying the MAIN TIME screen, then release them.
Once the F10v3 is brought out of the Deep Sleep mode, it can only be placed back in it by the factory.

PC/MAC INTERFACE
Interface with a PC or MAC, to allow uploading settings, downloading data, and updating firmware, is accomplished by connect-
ing the F10v3 to a PC or Mac USB port using the special Oceanic USB interface cable.
The PC software program together with the PC USB driver required is on the Oceanic Product CD, or it can be downloaded from
the Oceanic web site. The program's Help serves as the user manual which can be printed for personal use.
Set Time
The DiverLog software program for MAC can be found at the Mac App Store.
Chronograph
The settings upload portion of the computer interface program can be used to set/change the Main Time, Date, Set Alarms group,
and Set Utilities group using the same interface system.
Information available for retrieval (download) from the F10v3 to the download portion of the program includes dive number, surface
interval time, start depth, end depth, maximum depth, elapsed dive time, start date, start time, lowest temperature under water,
sampling rate, dive profile, and set points.
The computer interface program also allows update of select versions of the F10v3's firmware (operating system software).
• Refer to page 29 for more details relating to the computer interface system.
GRAPHIC MESSAGES
The segmented digits of the LCD are used to present various messages such as alarms, day of the week, modes, and items being
set, as well as graphics such as On, Off, Set, Last, Log, Hist, etc.
AUDIbLE ALARM
A LED Warning Light, located on the side of the housing, is synchronized with the Audible Alarm. It will flash as the Audible Alarm
sounds, then turn off when the Audible shuts off. The Audible and LED will not be active if the Alarm is set OFF, a group A setting
which completely disables it.

then pressed/released again.
• The Backlight will be disabled when there is a Low Battery condition, and be re enabled once the battery is replaced.
• Extensive use of the Backlight reduces Battery use life.
• Turning the Backlight Off when it is not being used will help extend Battery use life.
• The Backlight does not operate when the unit is connected to a PC or Mac.
POWER SUPPLY
The F10v3 utilizes (1) 3 volt CR2430 Lithium Battery.
a
Battery voltage is checked every 2 minutes during operation while on the surface.
• If voltage decreases to the Warning level (2.75 volts), the Battery icon will appear on the Watch Main Time and Free Surface
screens (Fig. 2a) 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 will flash and operation will automatically revert to Watch
Main Time and only operate in Watch modes until the Battery becomes completely depleted.
Fig. 2 - LOW BATTERY
WARNING
• Low Battery Warning/Alarm conditions are not displayed during Dive Modes.
• 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 to maintain operation for the remainder of that dive. Upon surfacing, the message CHNG >>
BATT will alternate (Fig. 3), then operation will automatically revert to and remain in Watch Main Time until the Battery becomes
completely depleted.

WATCH DEFAULT TIME
Default Time is the time that is displayed on the Watch until changed. It is also the time viewed during operation in DC (Dive Com-
puter) modes.
Main Time is the current time at your home location and is normally selected as the Watch Default Time.
Alternate Time will be the current time at a remote travel location. Upon arrival at the location, Alternate Time can be interchanged
with Main Time to make it the Watch Default Time. When it is not selected to be the Default Time, it can be viewed on the Watch
ALT screen, or it can be displayed on the Watch screen with Main Time and will be referred to as Dual Time

UPLOADING SETTINGS & DOWNLOADING DATA
The F10v3 is configured with a Data Port located on the back of the left side that enables it to be connected to a PC or MAC
through a USB port using the Oceanic Computer Interface Cable, when viewing the Watch Default Time screen.
The Settings Upload portion of the OceanLog or DiverLog program can be used to set/change the Watch Time selections, Set A
group selections (Alarms), and Set U group selections (Utilities).
The Download portion of the program can be used to retrieve/copy data (Download it) from the F10v3.
The data includes dive number, surface interval time, maximum depth, elapsed dive time, start date/time, start/end depth, lowest
temperature underwater, sampling rate, dive profile, and set points.
The F10v3 checks for the presence of an interface device connection to the Data Port once every second while operating in Watch
mode. Checks are not made if the Wet Activation contacts are wet.
When the cable is connected to the F10v3, a PC screen appears on the display with a 120 second countdown.
Upon sensing an interface connection with the PC or Mac, the countdown will be terminated and all segments of the LCD will be
displayed. This indicates that the PC or Mac and F10v3 are connected and prepared for Upload of settings or Download of data,
which is then initiated using the PC or Mac program.
Operation reverts to the Watch Default Time screen after completion of the Upload or Download operation, or after 2 minutes (the
120 second countdown reaches 0) if no PC or Mac action was taken.
Prior to attempting to Download data from your F10v3 or Upload Settings to it, review the HELP section of the OceanLog or
DiverLog program which serves as its User Manual. Recommended is to print those sections of HELP that you consider appro-
priate for your Interface activities.

ALTITUDE SENSING AND ADJUSTMENT
Prior to the first dive of a series of repetitive dives, Altitude (i.e., Ambient Pressure) is measured upon activation of Free Surface
Mode and every 15 minutes until a dive is made or operation reverts to Main Time after 2 hours.
> While it is operating in Watch Modes after a dive, measurements are taken every 15 minutes during the 24 hour period after
surfacing.
> Measurements are only taken when the unit is dry.
> Two readings are taken, the second reading 5 seconds after the first. The readings must be within 1 foot (30 cm) of each other
to record that Ambient Pressure as the current Altitude.
When diving in high altitude waters from 3,001 to 14,000 feet (916 to 4,270 meters), the F10 automatically adjusts to these
conditions providing corrected Depth indication at intervals of 1,000 feet (305 meters).
No adjustments are made during any time that the Wet Contacts are bridged.
The F10v3 will not function as a Dive Gauge above 14,000 feet (4,270 meters).

WARNINGS:
• Conducting Free dives within a 24 hour period after conducting SCUbA dives, combined with the effects of multiple rapid
Free Dive ascents, increases your risk of decompression sickness. Such activities may result in accelerated entry into
decompression which could cause serious injury or death.
• Combining competitive type Free Dive activities that involve multiple descents/ascents with activities utilizing SCUbA during
the same 24 hour period is not recommended. Presently, there is no data relating to such activities.
• It is highly recommended that anyone planning to become involved in competitive type Free dive activities obtain proper
instruction and training from a recognized Free Diving trainer. It is imperative that the physiological affects be understood
and the diver is physically prepared.
• If your F10v3 stops working for any reason while operating in Free Dive Mode, it is important that you have anticipated
this possibility and are prepared for it.
• If you dive in situations where your trip would be ruined or your safety would be jeopardized by losing the use of your
F10v3, a backup instrument system is highly recommended.
