salt. Turn the bezel ring and push the buttons while washing. Finally wipe your
Suunto S6 clean and dry with a soft cloth. If there are persistent stains or marks, you
can apply mild soap to the area. Do not expose your Suunto S6 to strong chemicals
such as gasoline, cleaning solvents, acetone, alcohol, insect repellents, adhesives
and paint, as they will damage the unit's seals, case and finish.
1.3. WATER RESISTANCE
Suunto S6 is water-resistant and tested with ISO (International Organization for
Standardization, www.iso.ch) standard 2281. Suunto S6 is also marked with an
indication of a test overpressure given as a depth in meters (100 m/330 feet). This,
however, does not correspond to a diving depth but refers to the pressure at which
the water overpressure test was conducted.
This means that you cannot dive to a depth of 100 m/330 ft. with your Suunto S6.
Rain, showering, swimming and other normal exposure to water will not affect the
operation. However, do not press the buttons under water under any circumstances.
NOTE: The Suunto S6 is not meant for diving.
1.4. REPLACING THE BATTERY
Your Suunto S6 operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell, type: CR 2032.
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 activate the low battery-warning
indicator even when the battery is still fully operational. If the battery-warning indica-
tor is activated in temperatures above 10°C (50°F), replace the battery.
NOTE: Heavy use of the backlight will significantly reduce battery life.
