Battery Replacement - Suunto S6 Instruction Manual

1.4. BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Suunto S6 operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell, type:
CR 2032. The life expectancy of the battery is
approximately 12 months in the 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 acti-
vate the low-battery warning indicator even
though the battery is still fully operational. If the
battery-warning indicator is activated in tem-
peratures above 10°C (50°F), replace the bat-
tery.
NOTE: Heavy use of the backlight, altimeter
and compass will significantly reduce the
battery life.
To replace the battery:
1. Insert a coin into the slot located on the bat-
tery compartment cover on the backside of
Suunto S6.
2. Turn the coin counterclockwise until it is
aligned with the open position marker, or
even slightly above it, for easy opening.
