Reg Manual??

[al248005]

I just recently purchased a Neo reg setup. However in the manual it covers the Alpha 7, Gamma, Delta 3, Gamma 2, Omega 2, and Zeta which isn't even made anymore. Is there a new updated manual with the Neo. The question I have about the reg is there is a round flat piece right next to the Venturi switch that rotates. What is that? It turns but I have not a clue what it is?

Well, this may or may not get you the answers you want, but you might be comforted that your frustration is not yours alone, or a recent development.
I just rechecked the Oceanic support website at Oceanic Worldwide - Owner Services - Owner's Manuals and downloaded the offered regulator manual. Sounds like the same obsolete one you are describing, and which I complained about in 2007.

See

from May 2006. You might actually get specific answers to your knob question there, but it won't be via an Oceanic manual.

from December 2006, where Oceanic says they're "on it".

And my own contribution to the ragging on Oceanic manuals from December 2007

See post #45 and a short conversation that goes on for a few posts thereafter to the end of the thread, more or less.

I've pretty well given up. Oceanic is a business, and they seem to have decided that manuals don't sell enough gear to justify the cost of writing them. I'm still using Oceanic gear, and in fact my wife just bought her gear with my guidance, and it's Oceanic. So I guess they're right in a business sense. I don't like it; I'm an RTFM freak, I read manuals for stuff I don't own for fun, but I'm still buying their stuff.

But thanks for the opportunity to vent.

reefduffer,
I emailed Oceanic the same thing I posted above. I will post their response as soon as it is available. You would think after spending $500+ on a reg, we would atleast get a manual for it and not models that aren't even available anymore.
