dive computer, there is a leak. A leak must be corrected without delay,

as moisture will seriously damage the unit, even beyond repair.

In case of a leak, immediately take the dive computer to an authorized

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

2,

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.
