9. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
This SUUNTO D9 dive computer is a sophisticated precision instrument. Though de-
signed to withstand the rigors of scuba diving you must treat it with proper care and
caution as any other precision instrument.
9.1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WATER CONTACTS AND PUSH BUTTONS
Contamination or dirt on the water contacts/connector or push buttons may prevent
the automatic activation of the Dive Mode and cause problems during the data trans-
fer. Therefore, it is important that the water contacts and push buttons are kept clean.
If the water contacts of the instrument are active (AC-text remains on display) or the
Dive Mode activates on its own, the reason for this is probably contamination or invi-
sible marine growth that may create an unwanted electric current between the con-
tacts. It is important that the dive computer is carefully washed in fresh water after the
day's diving is completed. The contacts can be cleaned with fresh water and, if neces-
sary, a mild detergent and a soft brush.
9.2. CARE OF YOUR DIVE COMPUTER
NEVER try to open the case of the dive computer.
•
Service your dive computer every two years or after 200 dives (whichever
•
comes fi rst) by an authorized dealer or distributor. This service will include a
general operational check, replacement of the battery, and water resistance
