5.2. CARE OF YOUR DIVE COMPUTER
• NEVER try to open the case of the dive computer.
• Service your dive computer every two years or after 200 dives (which-
ever comes fi rst) by an authorized dealer or distributor. This service
will include a general operational check, replacement of the battery,
and water resistance check. The service requires special tools and train-
ing. Therefore, it is advisable to contact an authorized SUUNTO dealer
or distributor for biennial service. Do not attempt to do any service that
you are not sure about how to do.
• Should moisture appear inside the case or battery compartment have the
instrument checked immediately by your SUUNTO dealer or distribu-
tor.
• Should you detect scratches, cracks or other such fl aws on the display
that may impair its durability, have it replaced immediately by your
SUUNTO dealer or distributor.
• Check the spring bars holding the strap and the buckle for fl aws. If the
fl exibility of the spring bars has reduced, have them replaced immedi-
ately by your SUUNTO dealer or distributor.
• Wash and rinse the unit in fresh water after every use.
•
Protect the unit from shock, extreme heat, direct sunlight, and chemical
attack. The dive computer cannot withstand the impact of heavy objects
like scuba cylinders, nor chemicals like gasoline, cleaning solvents,
aerosol sprays, adhesive agents, paint, acetone, alcohol etc. Chemical
reactions with such agents will damage seals, case and fi nish.
• Store your dive computer in a dry place when you are not using it.
• The dive computer will display a battery symbol as a warning when the
power gets too low. When this happens, the instrument should not be
used until the battery has been replaced (see also section 3.1.1. “Activa-
tion and Prechecks”).
• Do not fasten the strap of your dive computer too tightly. You should be
able to insert your fi nger between the strap and your wrist. Shorten the
strap by cutting it, if you do not expect to need the extra length of it.
