1.5. REPLACING THE BATTERY
Your Suunto t6 operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell, type: CR 2032. The life expectancy is
approximately 12 months in the Time mode or 300 hours of heart rate transmission in
ideal operating temperatures.
The 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 though the battery is still fully operational. If the
battery warning indicator is activated in temperatures above 10°C (50°F), replace the
battery.
NOTE: When the low-battery indicator is on, the HR transmission becomes automati-
cally disabled.
To replace the battery:
1. Insert a coin into the slot located on the battery compartment cover on the backside
of Suunto t6.
2. Turn the coin counterclockwise until it is aligned with the open position marker.
