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.

5.1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WATER RESISTANCE

This device will be watertight up to a static pressure of 10 ATM (100 m [328

ft]). Note, however, that dynamic pressure generated by movement underwater

is greater than static pressure.

DEPTH SENSOR

The built-in depth sensor of the dive computer 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 the data

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

kept clean. If the water contacts of the instrument are active (AC-text remains on

display) or the Dive Mode activates on its own, the reason for this 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.
