6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
This Suunto dive computer is a sophisticated precision instrument. Though de- signed 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 D3
•NEVER try to open the case of the D3.
•Every two years or after 200 dives (whichever comes first) have your D3 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 D3 have it 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 bars holding the strap and the buckle for flaws. If necessary, have them replaced immediately by your SUUNTO dealer or distribu- tor.
•Wash and rinse the unit in fresh water after every use.
