4.34. Suunto DM5

The Suunto DM5 software program allows you to track and analyze all of your dive logs and
plan your future dives. With DM5 you can customize your Suunto EON Steel and update the
device firmware. Download Suunto DM5 from www.suunto.com/dm5.

 NOTE: Mono framework is required when using DM5 on a Mac.

4.34.1. Synchronizing logs and settings

To be able to synchronize logs and settings, you need to first install Suunto DM5 (see 4.34.
Suunto DM5
).

To download logs from your Suunto EON Steel and sync settings:

1. Start Suunto DM5.
2. Close Suuntolink or Suunto Moveslink if program is running or has opened when

connecting dive computer to PC/Mac.

3. Connect your Suunto EON Steel to your computer with the USB cable.
4. Wait for the syncing to complete.

New dive logs appear in the DM5 Dives list on the left sorted by date and time.

4.34.2. Updating firmware

Using Suunto DM5 is one way to install new firmware for your Suunto EON Steel. If a new
firmware version is available, you are notified when connection is established between your
Suunto EON Steel and DM5.

Before updating the firmware, make sure the USB is securely connected. The cable must not
be unplugged until update process is completed.

Watch the video on YouTube.

To update firmware:

1. After DM5 recognizes your Suunto EON Steel, synchronize dive computer if needed.
2. Click update and wait for the update process to complete. This may take up to 15 minutes.
