5. 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.

5.1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WATER CONTACTS AND PUSH BUTTONS

Contamination or dirt on the water contacts/connector or push buttons may prevent the automatic activation of the Dive Mode and cause prob- lems during the data transfer. Therefore, it is important that the water contacts and push buttons are kept clean. If the water contacts of the instrument are active (AC-text remains on display) or the Dive Mode activates on its own, the reason for this is probably contamination or invisible marine growth that may create an unwanted electric current between the contacts. It is important that the dive computer is carefully washed in fresh water after the day’s diving is completed. The contacts can be cleaned with fresh water and, if necessary, a mild detergent and a soft brush. Sometimes it might be necessary to remove the instrument from the protective boot for cleaning.

5.2.CARE OF YOUR DIVE COMPUTER

•NEVER try to open the case of the dive computer.

•Service your dive computer every two years or after 200 dives (whichever comes ﬁrst) by an authorized dealer or distributor. This service will include a general operational check, replacement of the battery, and water resistance check. The service requires special tools and training. Therefore, it is advisable to contact an authorized SUUNTO dealer or distributor for biennial service. Do not attempt to do any service that you are not sure about how to do.

•Should moisture appear inside the case or battery compartment have the instrument checked immediately by your SUUNTO dealer or distributor.

•Should you detect scratches, cracks or other such ﬂaws on the display that may impair its durability, have it replaced immediately by your SUUNTO dealer or distributor.

•Check the spring bars holding the strap and the buckle for ﬂaws. If the ﬂexibility of the spring bars has reduced, have them replaced immediately by your SUUNTO dealer or distributor.

•Wash and rinse the unit in fresh water after every use.
