BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The battery and the buzzer are located in the back of the instrument in a separate
compartment, the parts of which are shown in Fig. 5.1. To change the battery,
follow the procedure below:
1. Remove the computer from the console or boot.

Wrist model:

• Pull off the boot. Remove it fi rst from the front end with the longer part

of the strap.

• Disassemble the shorter part of the strap with a fl at 1.5 mm screwdriver

or a special tool for spring bars. The longer part of the strap may stay on
but removing it may ease the work later on.

Console

model:

• Remove the dive computer from the console according the instructions

of the console.

2. Thoroughly rinse and dry the computer.
3. Open the securing ring of the battery compartment lid by pushing it
down and rotating it clockwise. You may use a pointed nose pliers or a

small screwdriver as an aid in the rotating. Put the pliers ends into the

holes of the securing ring or the screwdriver onto the side of the right

tooth on the ring (Fig. 5.2) and turn the ring clockwise. Care should be

taken not to damage any of the parts.
4. Remove the ring.
5. Carefully remove the lid with the beeper attached to it. The lid can be
removed by pressing with your fi nger on the outermost edge of the lid

while at the same time pulling with your nail at the opposite side. Do not
use sharp metal objects as they might damage the O-ring or the sealing

surfaces.
6. Remove the O-ring and the battery retainer.
7. Carefully remove the battery. Do not damage the electrical contacts or

the sealing surface.

Check for any traces of fl ooding, particularly between the beeper and the lid, or for
any other damage. In case of a leak or any other damage, bring the dive computer
to an authorized SUUNTO dealer or distributor for check and repair.

8. Check the condition of the O-ring; a defective O-ring may indicate sealing

or other problems. Dispose the old O-ring, even if it seems to be in

good

condition.
