6.4. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
NOTE: It is advisable to contact an authorized Suunto dealer for battery
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-fl ying 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 profi le 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 also the nitrox
settings are reverted back to default settings (21 % O
2
, 1.4 bar PO
2
).
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 battery
compartment lid with a lubricated 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 fi ngers.
