My suunto T6D (only two months old) loses heart rate... gives three stripes in display! already made the sensor contacts wet, shaved etc etc etc... keeps having problems... What could be the cause of this problem? i have an GPS pod which sometimes loses the reception with the watch too... same problem?

SOURCE: suunto t3C. Had it for about 3 months. Went to

I took the battery out and then replaced it and the watch started to function properly again!

Hey scuba2man, I have the same problem. Did you ever work out what was going on? My console didn't register any depth for first couple of dives (I had to turn it on every 5 mins to check air). Next couple of dives it told me I was between 98 and 103 metres deep (whatever that is in feet). I was at a maximum depth of 22m!!
I will let you know if I find solution. If not then I'll just get a new one!!!

Hello. remove the new batteries and clean the contacts with the eraser end of a common pencil. Then reinsert the batteries. IF it still doesn't work it could be that your new batteries are no good. Take them to any radio shack store and they will test them for u at no charge. J.

With steady use of the heart rate monitor or the backlight feature, the battery in the watch will likely last less than 1 year. It may be due for replacement as well, in addition to the one you replaced in the chest belt transmitter.

See page 6, paragraph 1.4 of the USER'S MANUAL for detailed instructions and normal maintenance schedule for replacing the battery in the watch body.

Also ensure that the chest belt is secure enough to provide good constant contact bewtween the transmitter's sensor electrodes and your bare skin. Also make sure to lightly wet the grooved electrode area on the back of the transmitter to ensure proper contact with skin.

See page 14, paragraph 2.4 of the User's Manual for additional details.

Dear William,

there must be a problem with energy (not enought) or too thin battery (did you exchange it latelly) - loosing contact when you schock the watch.

Let me know when you check this...
