1.2. Water Resistance

Suunto X6/X6M 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 your Suunto X6/X6M for swimming and other water sports activities but it must not be used for scuba diving or freediving.

To maintain water resistance and to ensure that the warranty remains valid, it is strongly recommended to have all service, except for battery change, done by authorized Suunto service personnel.

NOTE: Never push the buttons while swimming or in contact with water. Deliberate or unintentional pressing of the buttons while the unit is submerged could cause the unit to malfunction.

1.3. Battery Replacement

The Suunto X6/X6M operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell, type: CR 2032. The life expectancy is approximately 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, you should replace the battery. However, extremely cold weather may activate the low battery warning indicator, even though the battery is still fully operational. If the battery warning indicator is activated in temperatures above 10°C (50°F), replace the battery.

NOTE: Heavy use of the backlight, altimeter and compass will significantly reduce battery life.
