1.3. WATER RESISTANCE
Suunto G9 is water resistance-tested up to 10 bar (equivalent to 100 m/330ft depth)
according to ISO 2281 standard (www.iso.ch). However, it is not a diving instrument
and therefore it should not be used to obtain data under water. Do not push the buttons
under water.
NOTE:
Lots of water or dirt under the cover of Suunto G9 may disturb the satellite
signal reception.
1.4. CHARGING THE BATTERY
Suunto G9 is equipped with an internal rechargeable battery. You can recharge the
battery approximately 500 times. The life expectancy of a single charge depends on
the use of the GPS, Compass and data storage functions. When the battery level
indicator on the display reaches the red zone, the battery voltage is low. When this
occurs, you should recharge the battery. However, extremely cold weather affects
the battery voltage even when the battery is still fully operational. If the battery warn-
ing indicator is activated in temperatures above 10°C (50°F), recharge the battery.
Do not attempt to change the battery, as this will void warranty. Take the Suunto G9 to
an authorized Suunto dealer for a battery change.
You can charge the battery with either 110V or 220 V mains charger (depending on
the area of purchase), with a car cigarette lighter charger (optional) or with a 9 V
battery.
To charge the battery:
1. Place Suunto G9 on the docking station
with the display facing up.
