1.4. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Suunto X6HR operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell, type: CR 2032. The life expectancy is
approximately 12 months in Time/Weather modes.
A low-battery warning indicator is activated on the display when approximately 5–15
percent of the battery capacity is still available. When this occurs, you should replace
the battery. However, extremely cold weather may activate the low battery warning
indicator, even though the battery is still fully operational. If the battery warning indicator
is activated in temperatures above 10°C (50°F), replace the battery.
NOTE: Heavy use of the backlight, altimeter, compass and heart rate monitor will
significantly reduce battery life.
You can replace the batteries yourself as long as you do it properly to avoid any
leakage of water into the battery compartment or computer. Always use original battery
replacement kits. (They include a new battery, battery lid and O-ring.) You can purchase
the battery kits from official Suunto retailers.
NOTE: When replacing the battery, also replace the battery lid and O-ring. Never use
the old ones.
NOTE: Change the battery at your own risk. Suunto recommends you to have the
batteries changed in official Suunto services.
