10. Care and support
10.1. Handling guidelines
Handle your Suunto Core with care. The sensitive internal electronic components may be
damaged if the device is dropped or otherwise mishandled.
Do not try to open or repair your Suunto Core by yourself. If you are experiencing problems
with the device, please contact your nearest authorized Suunto Service Center.
TIP: Remember to register your product at www.suunto.com/support to get personalized
support.
Use only original Suunto accessories - damage caused by non-original accessories is not
covered by warranty.
Leather straps
Suunto Core leather straps are made from high quality natural hides. The performance and
lifespan of these straps can
dier from one strap to the next given the natural variation in the
materials.
Usage also has a significant impact on the performance and lifespan of leather straps, much
like belts, wallets and other items made from leather. Contact with fresh water, salt water, and
perspiration may change the color and odor of the strap, as well as shorten its lifespan.
If you intend to swim, snorkel or participate in strenuous activities with yourSuunto Core, we
recommend using a synthetic strap.
Cleaning
Regularly clean and dry your Suunto Core with fresh water and a soft cloth, particularly after
heavy perspiration or swimming. Avoid getting leather straps wet.
10.2. Replacing battery
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not crush, puncture or dispose of used
batteries in fire or water. Recycle or dispose of used batteries properly.
NOTE: If the threads of the battery compartment cover are damaged, send your device
to an authorized Suunto representative for service.
NOTE: Suunto original battery replacement and strap kits must be used if available for
your product. Kits are available at Suunto webshop and some authorized Suunto dealers.
Not using these kits and careless battery replacement may void warranty.
