1.2 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Only perform the procedures described in this manual. Never disassemble your Suunto
M9i. Protect it from shocks, extreme heat and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If
not in use, store your Suunto M9i in a clean and dry environment at room temperature.
Wipe your Suunto M9i clean with a lightly moistened (warm water) cloth. If there are
stubborn stains or marks, you can apply mild soap to the area. Do not expose it to
strong chemicals such as gasoline, cleaning solvents, acetone, alcohol, insect
repellents, adhesives and paint, as they will damage the unit’s seals, case and finish.
Keep the area around the sensor free of dirt and sand. Never insert any objects into
the sensor opening.

to ISO 2281 standard (www.iso.ch). This means that you can use the Suunto M9i for
swimming or other water sport activities but it should not be used for scuba diving or
freediving.
