X6 battery issue?

[londonj]

Hi,

I have an X6HR, and it's all of a sudden stopped connecting to my PC. I've tested this on two PCs, and I did have a set up working perfectly, so I'm kind of of the view that it's the watch.

Someone else on this forum said s/he removed and replaced the battery and it started working again. So that sounds good except:

i) is this something I can do without any specialist equipment/knowledge?

ii) will I lose my data?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

	Suunto X6 HR - Click for more info Just when you thought a sports watch couldn't get any better, Suunto introduces the X6 HR, X6 HRM and X6-HRT. These are truly the next generation in sports watches, packed with all of the technology that Suunto enthusiasts have been craving. Designed for Cross Sports applications, the X6 writstops are functionally very similar to the Suunto X6 - but with the added benefits of a heart rate monitor.

Hello,

I'd first try and change the battery. Most Suunto batteries are only good for 1 to 2 years, depending on usage. The battery is easy to change out, just make sure to follow the instructions (don't use a screww driver!, use a nickle!) You can find the battery kit here: http://www.suuntowatches.com/Suunto-...attery-Kit.pro

This being said - you should have gotten a low battery warning on the watch?

If not, you may want to put a call into tech support at Suunto and see what they have to say: 1-800-543-9124

As far as I know - you will lose your data upon battery change. The way to avoid this, of course, would be to sync first - which I realize is not an option.
