Suunto X6HR manual Care of Transmitter Belt, Water Resistance

1.1.2. Care of Transmitter Belt

Wash the transmitter with mild soap and water after each use. Rinse with pure water; dry thoroughly and carefully.

Store in a cool dry place. Never store the transmitter wet. Moisture keeps the electrodes wet and transmitter activated, thereby shortening the life of the battery.

Do not bend or stretch the transmitter as this may damage the electrodes.

1.2. Water Resistance

Suunto X6hr and the transmitter belt are tested with ISO (International Organization for standardization) standard 2281 (www.iso.ch). This means that product is water-resistant. “In addition to the term “water resistant” Suunto X6hr is marked with an indication of a test overpressure given as a depth in meters (100 m / 330 ft) and transmitter belt (20m

/66 ft). This indication however do not correspond to a diving depth but refer to the pressure at which the water overpressure test was conducted”.

This means that you can not dive to a depth of 100 meter / 330 ft with Suunto X6hr wristop computer nor 20m / 66 ft with transmitter belt.

Rain, shower, swimming and other normal exposure to water will not effect its operation but the buttons shall not be pressed if exposed to water in any circumstances.

NOTE! X6hr wristop computers and transmitter belts must not be used for diving.
