Suunto n6

is a feature-rich instrument and has numerous functions. Because of

this, it uses a lot of battery power and must be recharged periodically, much like other
devices such as cell phones or walkie-talkies.
Your Suunto n6

should function fully for a few days on a single charge. The amount

of time the battery lasts between charging sessions varies depending on a number of
factors, including which watch face you are using, which channel Suunto n6

displays most of the time, the strength of the broadcast signal, and the amount of
information that you receive.
To extend the battery life between charging sessions:
• Stay on the Time channel unless you are viewing content on another channel.

Some channels rotate new information through the screen continually, even when
you are not looking, which consumes battery power.

• Turn the button tones off.
• Turn the radio off. If you are outside a reception area or not interested in receiving

information, you can turn the radio off and your Suunto n6

stops looking for a

broadcast signal. Remember to turn the radio back on.

• Turn your Suunto n6

off. If you are not wearing your Suunto n6

, you can turn it

off. It maintains your current information for a long time, but the display is blank and
the instrument receives no additional information.

Warning: Your Suunto n6

contains a Li-ion battery and the transmitter belt

contains a Lithium cell. To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush,
puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of used batteries in fire or water. Only
replace with manufacturer-specified batteries. Recycle or dispose of used batteries
properly.
