Suunto X6 User Manual - 1.3.  Battery Replacement

6

Suunto X6/X6M for swimming and other water sports

activities but it must not be used for scuba diving or

freediving.

To maintain water resistance and to ensure that the

warranty remains valid, it is strongly recommended

to have all service, except for battery change, done

by authorized Suunto service personnel.

NOTE: Never push the buttons while swimming or

in contact with water. Deliberate or unintentional

pressing of the buttons while the unit is submerged

could cause the unit to malfunction.

1.3.  BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The Suunto X6/X6M operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell,

type: CR 2032. The life expectancy is approximately

12 months in Time/Weather modes.

A low-battery warning indicator is activated on the

display when approximately 5–15 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 though the battery is still fully opera-

tional. If the battery warning indicator is activated in

temperatures above 10°C (50°F), replace the bat-

tery.

NOTE:  Heavy use of the backlight, altimeter and

compass will significantly reduce battery life.
