follow the procedure below:
1. Remove the computer from the console or boot.
Wrist model:
• Disassemble the shorter part of the strap with a fl at 1.5 mm screwdriver or
a special tool for spring bars. The longer part of the strap may stay on but
removing it may ease the work later on.
Console model:
1. Remove the dive computer from the console according the instructions of
the console.
2. Thoroughly rinse and dry the computer.
3. Open the securing ring of the battery compartment lid by pushing it down
and rotating it clockwise. You may use a pointed nose pliers or a small
screwdriver as an aid in the rotating. Put the pliers ends into the holes of the
securing ring or the screwdriver onto the side of the right tooth on the ring
(Fig. 5.2) and turn the ring clockwise. Care should be taken not to damage
any of the parts.
4. Remove the ring.
5. Carefully remove the lid with the beeper attached to it. The lid can be
removed by pressing with your fi nger on the outermost edge of the lid
while at the same time pulling with your nail at the opposite side. Do not
use sharp metal objects as they might damage the O-ring or the sealing
surfaces.
6. Remove the O-ring and the battery retainer.
7. Carefully remove the battery. Do not damage the electrical contacts or the
sealing surface.
Check for any traces of fl ooding, particularly between the beeper and the lid, or
for any other damage. In case of a leak or any other damage, bring the dive
computer to an authorized SUUNTO dealer or distributor for check and
repair.
8. Check the condition of the O-ring; a defective O-ring may indicate sealing
or other problems. Dispose the old O-ring, even if it seems to be in good
condition.
9. Check that the battery compartment, battery holder and lid are clean. Clean
with soft cloth if necessary.
10. Gently insert the new battery in the battery compartment. Check the
polarity of the battery: the “-” mark should point toward the bottom of the
compartment and the “+” mark upwards.
11. Reinstall the battery retainer in its correct position.
