Hazard

These dive computers could incorrectly track dive time, which could cause incorrect calculation of decompression requirements. This could lead to decompression sickness.

Remedy

Consumers should only use these dive computers with backup instrumentation. Consumers should bring the recalled units to the nearest authorized Suunto dealer for a software update to correct the problem. A free battery replacement and pressure testing will be provided as part of the free software update service. All updated products will be marked with an indelible white dot on the back of the unit, or with an engraved "U" near the serial number.
