Care Of Your Dive Computer - Suunto Cobra User Manual

5.2. 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
check. The service requires special tools and training. Therefore, it is
advisable to contact an authorized Suunto dealer or distributor for biennial
service. Do not attempt to do any service that you are not sure about how to
do.
• Should moisture appear inside the case or battery compartment, have the
instrument checked immediately by your Suunto dealer or distributor.
• Should you detect scratches, cracks or other such fl aws on the display that
may impair its durability, have it replaced immediately by your Suunto
dealer or distributor.
• Wash and rinse the unit in fresh water after every use.
• Protect the unit from shock, extreme heat, direct sunlight, and chemical
attack. The dive computer cannot withstand the impact of heavy objects
like scuba cylinders, nor chemicals like gasoline, cleaning solvents, aerosol
sprays, adhesive agents, paint, acetone, alcohol etc. Chemical reactions with
such agents will damage seals, case and fi nish.
• Store your dive computer in a dry place when you are not using it.
• The dive computer will display a battery symbol as a warning when the
power gets too low. When this happens, the instrument should not be used
until the battery has been replaced (see also section 3.1.1. "Activation and
Prechecks").
• Periodically check the hose for cracks or other signs of deterioration.
Replace hose if any damage is found.
