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 finish.

•

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. ”Activation and Prechecks”).

•

Do not fasten the strap of your dive computer too tightly. You

should be able to insert your finger between the strap and your

wrist. Shorten the strap by cutting it, if you do not expect to

need the extra length of it.

5.3. MAINTENANCE

The instrument should be soaked, thoroughly rinsed with fresh water,

then dried with a soft towel after each dive. Make sure that all salt crys-

tals and sand particles have been flushed out.
Check the display and the transparent battery compartment cover for

possible moisture or water. DO NOT use the dive computer, if you de-

tect any moisture or water inside. In order to limit corrosion damage

remove the battery and moisture from the battery compartment. Con-

tact an authorized Suunto dealer for battery replacement or other need-

ed service.

Do not test or use the dive computer in pressurized air.
