Battery - Suunto N3 Instruction Manual

4. BATTERY

Suunto n3 is a feature-rich instrument and has numerous functions. Because of this,
it uses more battery power and must be recharged periodically, much like other
devices such as cell phones or walkie-talkies.
Your Suunto n3 should function fully for a few days on a single charge. The amount of
time the battery lasts between charging sessions varies depending on a number of
factors, including which watch face you are using, which channel Suunto n3 displays
most of the time, the strength of the broadcast signal, and the amount of information
that you receive.
To extend the battery life between charging sessions:
• Stay on the Time channel unless you are viewing content on another channel.
Some channels rotate new information through the screen continually, even when
you are not looking at them, which consumes battery power.
• Turn the button tones off.
• Turn the radio off. If you are outside a reception area or not interested in receiving
information, you can turn the radio off and your Suunto n3 stops looking for a
broadcast signal. Remember to turn the radio back on.
• Turn your Suunto n3 off. If you are not wearing your Suunto n3, you can turn it off.
Suunto n3 maintains your current information for a long time, but the Suunto n3
screen is blank and the instrument receives no additional information.
When the Suunto n3 battery is fully charged, it is at 100%. When the Suunto n3
battery is fully discharged, it is at 0%. Your Suunto n3 is fully functional from 100%
down to a 20% charge. The following table describes how Suunto n3 responds at
different battery charge levels.
