1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your choice of the SUUNTO Spyder Advanced Computer
Watch. The Spyder is a compact and most sophisticated dive instrument that
will
give you years of trouble-free and joyful diving. The Spyder Advanced Computer
Watch will provide you with important information that you will need during,
between, and after your dives.
1.1 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
NEVER test the Spyder in a pressure chamber. Only authorized SUUNTO service
personnel may test the Spyder and make test dives in a pressure chamber, as it
requires special equipment and training.
Battery
Battery life of the Spyder is about 1.5 years when used as a watch. Diving, alarms
and use of the backlight shorten the battery life. Note, that the battery loaded at the
factory may discharge during the shipment and storage. Temperature affects the
battery voltage. If the Spyder is stored at low temperatures (particularly below
freezing point), the low battery warning may be displayed even though the battery
has enough capacity in warmer conditions. The battery should be replaced only by
an authorized SUUNTO dealer or distributor.
Water Resistance
This device will withstand the ingress of water at the static pressure of 20 ATM
(200 m [660 ft]). Note, however, that dynamic pressure generated by movement
underwater is greater than static pressure.
