TOOLS REQUIRED

A flat 1.5 mm screwdriver or a special tool for spring bars (K5857).

Soft cloth for cleaning.

Needlenose pliers or large screwdriver for turning securing ring.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The battery and the buzzer are located in the back of the instrument in a separate compartment, the parts of which are shown in Fig. 5.1. To change the battery, follow the procedure below:

1.Remove the computer from the console or boot.

Wrist model:

Pull off the boot. Remove it first from the front end with the longer part of the strap.

Disassemble the shorter part of the strap with a flat 1.5 mm screwdriver or a special tool for spring bars. The longer part of the strap may stay on but removing it may ease the work later on.

Console model:

Remove the dive computer from the console according the instructions of the console.

2.Thoroughly rinse and dry the computer.

3.Open the securing ring of the battery compartment lid by pushing it down and rotating it clockwise. You may use a pointed nose pliers or a small screwdriver as an aid in the rotating. Put the pliers ends into the holes of the securing ring or the screwdriver onto the side of the right tooth on the ring (Fig. 5.2) and turn the ring clockwise. Care should be taken not to damage any of the parts.

4.Remove the ring.

5.Carefully remove the lid with the beeper attached to it. The lid can be removed by pressing with your finger on the outermost edge of the lid while at the same time pulling with your nail at the opposite side. Do not use sharp metal objects as they might damage the O-ring or the sealing surfaces.

6.Remove the O-ring and the battery retainer.

7.Carefully remove the battery. Do not damage the electrical contacts or the sealing surface.

Check for any traces of flooding, particularly between the beeper and the lid, or for any other damage. In case of a leak or any other damage, bring the dive computer to an authorized SUUNTO dealer or distributor for check and repair.
