6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
This Suunto dive computer is a sophisticated precision instrument. Though
designed to withstand the rigors of scuba diving, you must treat it with proper
care and caution as any other precision instrument.
6.1. CARE OF YOUR MOSQUITO
• NEVER try to open the case of the Mosquito.
• Every two years or after 200 dives (whichever comes fi rst) have your
Mosquito serviced by an authorized dealer or distributor. This service
will include a general operational check, replacement of the battery and
a water resistance check and if needed, replacement of the seals, buttons,
or display. The service requires special tools and training. It is advisable
to contact an authorized SUUNTO dealer or distributor for this service.
Do not attempt to do any service that you are not sure about how to do.
• Should moisture appear inside the Mosquito have it checked immediately
by your SUUNTO dealer or distributor.
• Should you detect scratches, cracks or other such fl aws on the display that
may impair its durability, have it replaced immediately by your SUUNTO
dealer or distributor.
• Check the bars holding the strap and the buckle for fl aws. If necessary,
have them replaced immediately by your SUUNTO dealer or
distributor.
• Wash and rinse the unit in fresh water after every use.
