DISPOSAL OF THE DEVICE ................................................................................. 65 4 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Suunto S6 Wristop Computer is a reliable high-precision electronic instrument that is intended for recreational use. NOTE: You should not use Suunto S6 to obtain measurements that require professional or industrial precision or to obtain measurements when skydiving, hang gliding, paragliding, gyrocopter riding or flying a small aircraft. 1.1. CHECKLIST Make sure the package contains the following items: · Suunto S6 · Datasnake interface cable · CD containing the Suunto Ski Manager software · Suunto S6 User's guide Should any of these be missing from the package, contact the resale agent who sold you the package. 1.2. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Care of the Suunto S6 Only perform the procedures described in this manual. Never attempt to disassemble or service your Suunto S6. Protect it from shocks, extreme heat and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Avoid rubbing your Suunto S6 against rough surfaces as this may scratch the face. If not in use, store the Suunto S6 in a clean, dry environment at room temperature. After use or exposure to salt water, flush the Suunto S6 with water to remove the 5 salt. Turn the bezel ring and push the buttons while washing. Finally wipe your Suunto S6 clean and dry with a soft cloth. If there are persistent stains or marks, you can apply mild soap to the area. Do not expose your Suunto S6 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. 1.3. WATER RESISTANCE Suunto S6 is water-resistant and tested with ISO (International Organization for Standardization, www.iso.ch) standard 2281. Suunto S6 is also marked with an indication of a test overpressure given as a depth in meters (100 m/330 feet). This, however, does not correspond to a diving depth but refers to the pressure at which the water overpressure test was conducted. This means that you cannot dive to a depth of 100 m/330 ft. with your Suunto S6. Rain, showering, swimming and other normal exposure to water will not affect the operation. However, do not press the buttons under water under any circumstances. NOTE: The Suunto S6 is not meant for diving. 1.4. REPLACING THE BATTERY Your Suunto S6 operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell, type: CR 2032. A low-battery warning indicator is activated on the display when approximately 5­15 percent of the battery capacity is still available. When this occurs, you should replace the battery. However, extremely cold weather may activate the low battery-warning indicator even when 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 will significantly reduce battery life. 6 You can replace the batteries yourself as long as you do it properly to avoid any leakage of water into the battery compartment or computer. Always use original battery replacement kits that include a new battery, battery lid, opening tool and Oring. You can purchase the battery kits from official Suunto retailers. NOTE: Change the battery at your own risk and use the original Suunto battery replacement kit. Suunto recommends you to have the batteries changed in official Suunto services. NOTE: When replacing the battery, also replace the battery lid and O-ring. Never use the old ones. To replace the battery: 1. Insert the opening tool or a coin into the slot located on the battery compartment cover on the backside of your Suunto S6. 2. Turn the tool/coin counterclockwise until it is aligned with the open position marker. 3. Remove the battery compartment cover and the O-ring, and discard them. Ensure that all surfaces are clean and dry. 4. Remove the old battery carefully. 5. Place the new battery into the battery compartment under the metal flap, with the positive side facing up. 6. With the O-ring in the correct position, replace the battery compartment cover and turn it with the tool/coin clockwise until it is aligned with the closed position marker. Make sure that the cover stays straight while turning it. Do not use force or press the cover excessively. NOTE: Perform battery replacement with extreme care to ensure that your Suunto S6 remains water resistant. Careless battery replacement may void warranty. 7 WARNING: This Suunto product contains a Lithium cell. To reduce risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, charge or dispose of in fire or water. Replace only with manufacturer specified batteries. Recycle or dispose of used batteries properly. Refer to the pictures when changing the battery. 8 1.5.
