8. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
8.1. Water contacts and buttons
Contamination or dirt on the water contacts/connector or buttons may prevent the
automatic activation of the DIVE mode and cause problems during data transfer.
Therefore, it is important that the water contacts and push buttons are kept clean. If
the watercontacts of the instrument are active (AC-text remainson the display) or the
DIVE mode activates on its own, the reason 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.
8.2. Care of your dive computer
NEVER try to open the case of the dive computer
Have your dive computer serviced every two years or after 200 dives (whichever
comes first) by an authorized Suunto representative. This service will include a
general operational check, replacement of the battery, and a water resistance
check. The service requires special tools and training, so do not attempt to carry
out any service that you are not competent to perform
If moisture appears inside the case or battery compartment, have the instrument
checked immediately by your Suunto representative
If you detect scratches, cracks or other such flaws on the display that may impair
its durability, have it replaced immediately by your Suunto representative
