5. BATTERY
Suunto n6
HR
is a feature-rich instrument and has numerous functions. Because of
this, it uses a lot of battery power and must be recharged periodically, much like other
devices such as cell phones or walkie-talkies.
Your Suunto n6
HR
should function fully for a few days on a single charge. The amount
of time the battery lasts between charging sessions varies depending on a number of
factors, including which watch face you are using, which channel Suunto n6
HR
displays most of the time, the strength of the broadcast signal, and the amount of
information that you receive.
To extend the battery life between charging sessions:
• Stay on the Time channel unless you are viewing content on another channel.
Some channels rotate new information through the screen continually, even when
you are not looking, which consumes battery power.
• Turn the button tones off.
• Turn the radio off. If you are outside a reception area or not interested in receiving
information, you can turn the radio off and your Suunto n6
HR
stops looking for a
broadcast signal. Remember to turn the radio back on.
• Turn your Suunto n6
HR
off. If you are not wearing your Suunto n6
HR
, you can turn it
off. It maintains your current information for a long time, but the display is blank and
the instrument receives no additional information.
Warning: Your Suunto n6
HR
contains a Li-ion battery and the transmitter belt
contains a Lithium cell. To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush,
puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of used batteries in fire or water. Only
replace with manufacturer-specified batteries. Recycle or dispose of used batteries
properly.
