1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Suunto X6 Wristop Computer is a reliable high precision electronic instrument that
is intended for recreational use. Outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy sports such as
mountain climbing, hiking and biking can rely on the Suunto X6’s accuracy.
NOTE: The Suunto X6 should not be substituted for obtaining measurements that
require professional or industrial precision and should not be used to obtain
measurements when skydiving, hang gliding, paragliding, gyrocopter riding and
flying small aircraft.
1.1. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Perform only the procedures described in this manual. Never attempt to disassemble
or service your Suunto X6. Protect your Suunto X6 from shocks, extreme heat and
prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If not in use, your Suunto X6 should be stored
in a clean, dry environment at room temperature.
The Suunto X6 can be wiped clean with a lightly moistened (warm water) cloth. If
there are stubborn stains or marks, you can apply mild soap to the area. Do not
expose the Suunto X6 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. Keep the PC interface contacts clean with e.g. a tooth-
brush. Make sure the area around the sensors is kept free of dirt and sand. Never
insert any objects into the sensor openings.
1.2. WATER RESISTANCE
The Suunto X6 is water-resistant up to 100 m/330 ft. However, it is
not a diving
instrument and therefore it should not be used to obtain data under water.
