1.3. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Suunto X6
HR
operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell,
type: CR 2032. The life expectancy is approxi-
mately 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. How-
ever, 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.
To replace the battery:
1. Insert a coin into the slot located on the bat-
tery compartment cover on the backside of
Suunto X6
HR
.
2. Turn the coin counterclockwise until it is
aligned with the open position marker, or even
slightly further for easy opening.
3. Remove the battery compartment cover.
Ensure that the O -ring and all surfaces are
clean and dry. Do not stretch the O- ring.
