1.3. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The Suunto X6 operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell,
type: CR 2032. The life expectancy is approxi-
mately 12 months in Time/Weather modes.
A low-battery warning indicator is activated on
the display when approximately 5–15 percent
of the battery capacity is still available. When
this occurs we recommend replacing the bat-
tery. However, extremely cold weather may ac-
tivate the low battery warning indicator, even
though the battery is still fully operational. If the
battery warning indicator activates in tempera-
tures above 10°C (50°F), replace the battery.
NOTE: Heavy use of the backlight, altimeter
and compass will significantly reduce battery
life.
To replace the battery, follow these steps:
1. Insert a coin into the slot located on the bat-
tery compartment cover on the backside of
the Suunto X6.
2. Turn the coin
counterclockwise until it is
aligned with the open position marker, or even
slightly further for easy opening.
3. Remove the battery compartment cover. En-
sure that the
O ring and all surfaces are
clean and dry. Do not stretch the
O ring.
