5.3 BATTERY REPLACEMENT
NOTE: It is advisable to contact an authorized Suunto dealer for battery replacement. It
is imperative that the change is made in a proper manner to avoid any leakage of water
into the battery compartment. Do not attempt to open the FAVOR AIR before reading
this entire set of instructions.
CAUTION!
DEFECTS CAUSED BY IMPROPER BATTERY INSTALLATION ARE NOT
COVERED BY THE WARRANTY!
CAUTION!
WHEN THE BATTERY IS CHANGED, ALL NITROGEN UPTAKE IS LOST!
The FAVOR AIR must therefore have turned itself off before battery change or you must
wait for 48 hours between dives before you may dive again.
All history and logbook data will remain in the FAVOR AIR memory after the battery
change.
When working with the battery compartment, cleanliness is extremely important. Even
the smallest piece of dirt may cause a leakage when you dive.
