power gets too low. When this happens, the instrument should not be 
used until the battery has been replaced.

Do not fasten the strap of your dive computer too tightly. You should be 

• 

able to insert your finger between the strap and your wrist. Shorten the 
strap by cutting it if you do not expect to need the extra length.

MAINTENANCE

• 

The instrument should be soaked, thoroughly rinsed with fresh water, then 
dried with a soft towel after each dive. Make sure that all salt crystals and 
sand particles have been flushed out. Check the display for possible mois-
ture or water. DO NOT use the dive computer if you detect any moisture or 
water inside. Contact an authorized Suunto dealer for battery replacement 
or other service.

CAUTION!

Do not use compressed air to blow water off the unit.

• 

Do not use solvents or other cleaning fluids that might cause damage.

• 

Do not test or use the dive computer in pressurized air.

• 

WATER RESISTANCE INSPECTION

• 

The water resistance of the unit must be checked after replacing the battery 
or after other service operations. The check requires special equipment and 
training. You must frequently check the display for any sign of leaks. If 
you find moisture inside your dive computer, there is a leak. A leak must be 
corrected without delay as moisture will seriously damage the unit, even be-
yond repair. SUUNTO does not take any responsibility for damage caused 
by moisture in the dive computer unless the instructions of this manual are 
carefully followed. In the event of a leak, immediately take the dive com-
puter to an authorized SUUNTO dealer or distributor.

FAQs

WHAT CAN I DO TO MY SUUNTO DIVING COMPUTER MYSELF?

NOTE!  It  is  advisable  to  contact  an  authorized  Suunto  service,  distributor  or 
retailer for any repairs. Batteries and straps can be replaced by the user when the 
change is made in a proper manner to avoid any leakage of water into the battery 
compartment or computer. Original battery replacement and strap kits must be 
used.

Batteries can be changed by the user in all diving computers except Stinger, D4, 
D6 and D9. Instructions for changing batteries and straps can be found in the user 
manuals or at www.suunto.com and the user videos there.
