5. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

This Suunto dive computer is a sophisticated precision instrument. Though

designed to withstand the rigors of scuba diving, you must treat it with proper

care and caution as any other precision instrument.

DEPTH SENSOR

The built-in depth sensor is a sophisticated precision component. Keep the

area around the depth sensor clear from dirt, sand, dust or other substances.

Rinse the device thoroughly with fresh water and dry it with a soft towel. Never

use pins, needles or other objects to clean the depth sensor (Fig. 2.3.).

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

data transfer. Therefore, it is important that the water contacts and push buttons

are kept clean. If the water contacts are active (AC-text remains on display) or

the Dive Mode activates on its own, there is probably contamination or invisible

marine growth that may create an unwanted electric current between the

contacts. 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 necessary, a mild detergent and a soft brush. Sometimes it

might be necessary to remove the instrument from the protective boot for

cleaning.
