SUUNTO dealer or distributor.
5.5. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
5.5.1. Computer battery
NOTE! It is advisable to contact an authorized Suunto dealer for bat-
tery replacement. It is imperative that the change is made in a proper
manner to avoid any leakage of water into the battery compartment or
computer.
CAUTION!
Defects caused by improper battery installation are not covered by
the warranty.
CAUTION!
When the battery is changed all nitrogen and oxygen uptake data is
lost. Therefore, the no-flying time shown by the computer should
have reached zero or you must wait for 48 hours or preferably even
100 hours between dives before you may dive again.
All history and profile data, as well as the altitude, personal and alarm
settings, will remain in the dive computer memory after the battery
change. However, the clock time and time alarm setting is lost. In the
NITROX Mode the Nitrox settings are also reverted back to default set-
tings (MIX1 21 % O
2
, 1.4 bar PO

MIX2/MIX3 off).
When working with the battery compartment, cleanliness is extremely
important. Even the smallest dirt particles may cause a leakage when
you dive.
BATTERY KIT
The battery kit includes a 3.0 V coin type lithium cell battery and a lubri-
cated O-ring. When handling the battery do not make contact with both
of the poles at the same time. Do not touch the surfaces of the battery
with your bare fingers.
