1.3. WATER RESISTANCE

Suunto X9 is water resistant. Its water resistance is tested to 100m/330ft according to ISO 2281 standard (www.iso.ch). This means that you can use the Suunto X9 for swimming or other water sports activities but it should not be used for scuba diving or freediving.

NOTE: Do not push the buttons under any circumstances while swimming or in contact with water. Deliberate or unintentional depression of the buttons while the unit is submerged could cause the unit to malfunction.

NOTE: Large amounts of water and dirt under the cover of Suunto X9 may disturb the satellite signal reception.

1.4. CHARGING THE BATTERY

Suunto X9 is equipped with an internal rechargeable battery. You can recharge the battery approximately 500 times. The life expectancy of a single charge can range from 4-5 hours (with heavy usage of the GPS, backlight, compass and data storage functions) to over 2 months if you only use Time and/or Alti/Baro mode.

When the battery level indicator on the display reaches the red zone, the battery voltage is low and you should recharge the battery.

Do not attempt to replace the battery, as this will void warranty. Take your Suunto X9 to an authorized Suunto dealer for a battery replacement.

You can charge the battery with either 110V or 220 V mains charger (depending on the area of purchase), with a car cigarette lighter charger (optional) or with a 9 V battery.

WARNING: This Suunto product contains a Li-ion battery. To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts or dispose of in fire or water. Only use manufacturer specified batteries. Recycle or dispose of used batteries properly.
