1.1. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Perform only the procedures described in this manual. Never attempt to disassemble
or service your Suunto X6. Protect your Suunto X6 from shocks, extreme heat and
prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If not in use, your Suunto X6 should be stored

The Suunto X6 can be wiped clean with a lightly moistened (warm water) cloth. If
there are stubborn stains or marks, you can apply mild soap to the area. Do not
expose the Suunto X6 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. Keep the PC interface pins clean with e.g. a toothbrush.
Make sure the area around the sensor is kept free of dirt and sand. Never insert any
objects into the sensor opening.
