1.2. WATER RESISTANCE
Suunto X6/X6M is water-resistant. Its water resistance is tested to 100m/330ft according
to ISO 2281 standard (www.iso.ch). This means that you can use your Suunto X6/X6M
for swimming and other water sports activities but it must not be used for scuba diving
or freediving.
To maintain water resistance and to ensure that the warranty remains valid, it is strongly
recommended to have all service, except for battery change, done by authorized Suunto
service personnel.
NOTE: Never push the buttons while swimming or in contact with water. Deliberate
or unintentional pressing of the buttons while the unit is submerged could cause the
unit to malfunction.
1.3. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The Suunto X6/X6M 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 and compass will significantly reduce
battery life.
