WARNING: ENSURE THE WATER RESISTANCE OF THE DEVICE! Moisture inside the device may seriously damage the unit. Only an authorized Suunto service center should do service activities.

NOTE: Thoroughly rinse the device with fresh water, mild soap, and carefully clean the housing with a moist soft cloth or chamois, especially after salt-water and pool dives. Pay special attention to the pressure sensor area, water contacts, buttons, and charger pins. Carefully clean the device end of the charging cable, but do not immerse it in water.

NOTE: Do not leave your Suunto device immersed in water (for rinsing). Maintenance cycle is 500 hours of diving or two years, whichever comes first. Please bring your device to an ocial Suunto service center.

SAFETY AND REGULATORY INFORMATION INTENDED USE

Suunto Race is a sports watch that tracks your movement and other metrics, such as heart rate and calories.

You can use your device as an optional diving equipment while immersed in water to a maximum depth of 10 meters. This device is not a dive computer or a standalone product for measuring any certified scuba diving activity. Suunto Race is only for recreational use and not meant for medical purposes of any kind.

OPTICAL HEART RATE

Optical heart rate measurement from the wrist is an easy and convenient way to track your heart rate. Best results for heart rate measurement may be affected by the following factors:

The watch must be worn directly against your skin. No clothing, however thin, can be between the sensor and your skin.
The watch may need to be higher on your arm than where watches are normally worn. The sensor reads blood flow through tissue. The more tissue it can read, the better.
Arm movements and flexing muscles, such as gripping a tennis racket, can change the accuracy of the sensor readings.
When your heart rate is low, the sensor may not be able to provide stable readings. A short warm up of a few minutes before you start the recording helps.
Skin pigmentation and tattoos block light and prevent reliable readings from the optical sensor
The optical sensor may not provide accurate heart rate readings for swimming and freediving activities.
For higher accuracy and quicker responses to changes in your heart rate, we recommend using a compatible chest heart rate sensor such as Suunto Smart Sensor.
WARNING: The optical heart rate feature may not be accurate for every user during every activity. Optical heart rate may also be affected by an individual’s unique anatomy and skin pigmentation. Your actual heart rate may be higher or lower than the optical sensor reading.
WARNING: Only for recreational use; the optical heart rate feature is not for medical use.

SAFETY

WARNING: Always consult a doctor before beginning a training program. Overexertion may cause serious injury.

WARNING: Allergic reaction or skin irritations may occur when products are in contact with skin, even though our products comply with industry standards. In such event, stop use immediately and consult a doctor.

WARNING: For safety reasons, you should never dive alone. Dive with a designated buddy.

WARNING: Freediving involves risks that are not obvious. There is always a risk of decompression sickness for all diving activity types and dive profiles. Suunto strongly recommends that you do not engage in any diving activity type without proper training and a complete understanding and acceptance of the risks. Always follow the rules of your training agency. Assess your own physical condition and consult a physician regarding your fitness before diving.

WARNING: This device is not for certified scuba divers. Recreational scuba diving may expose the diver to depths and conditions that tend to increase the risk of decompression sickness (DCS) and errors that may lead to serious injury or death. Trained divers should always use a dive computer developed for scuba diving purposes

WARNING: Do not participate in freediving and scuba diving activities on the same day.

NOTE: Make sure you fully understand how to use your dive instrument and what its limitations are by reading all the printed documentation and the online user manual. Always remember that YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.

ADDENDUM TO SUUNTO INTERNATIONAL LIMITED WARRANTY

Effective Date of this Addendum: 9/7/2018.

All purchases by United States consumers on or after the Effective Date of this Addendum, shall be subject to this Addendum to the Suunto International Limited Warranty Policy. The terms of this Addendum are intended to be in addition to the Suunto International Limited Warranty.

BY USING YOUR SUUNTO PRODUCT YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL THE TERMS OF THIS WARRANTY. BEFORE USING YOUR SUUNTO PRODUCT, PLEASE READ THIS WARRANTY CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS WARRANTY, DO NOT USE YOUR SUUNTO PRODUCT. RETURN YOUR SUUNTO PRODUCT TO THE RETAILER OF PURCHASE. SEE THE RETAILER’S RETURN POLICY FOR DETAILS AND/OR ADDITIONAL RETURN REQUIREMENTS. This warranty contains a binding arbitration agreement and a class action waiver for United States residents. If you live in the United States, the binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver affect your rights under this warranty. Please read the text under the section titled “Binding Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver (U.S. Residents Only)” carefully

What to Do If You Are Not Satisfied With Service?

If you feel Suunto has not met its obligations under this warranty, you may attempt to resolve the issue informally with Suunto. If you are unable to resolve the issue informally and wish to file a formal claim against Suunto, and if you are a resident of the United States, you must submit your claim to binding arbitration according to the procedures described below, unless an exception applies. Submitting a claim to binding arbitration means that you do not have the right to have your claim heard by a judge or jury. Instead your claim will be heard by a neutral arbitrator.

GENERAL

No employee or agent of Suunto may modify this warranty. If any term of this warranty, other than the class action waiver, is found to be unenforceable, that term will be severed from this warranty and all other terms will remain in effect. If the class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entire section titled “Binding Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver (U.S. Residents Only)” will not apply. This warranty applies to the maximum extent not prohibited by law.

Binding Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver (U.S. Residents Only)

TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNLESS YOU HAVE BROUGHT AN ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUAL CLAIM IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR HAVE OPTED OUT AS DESCRIBED BELOW, ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR SUUNTO PRODUCT, INCLUDING ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANTY, A BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, OR THE SUUNTO
PRODUCT’S SALE, CONDITION OR PERFORMANCE, WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION AND CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR APPOINTED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND ITS SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES. You may learn more about the American Arbitration Association and its rules for arbitration by visiting www. adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. Since this warranty concerns a transaction in interstate or international commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act will apply.
To the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, the filing fees to begin and carry out
arbitration will be shared between you and Suunto, but in no event will your fees ever exceed the amount allowable by the American Arbitration Association, at which point Suunto will cover all additional administrative fees and expenses. Suunto waives its right to recover attorneys’ fees in connection with any arbitration under this warranty. If you are the prevailing party in an arbitration to which the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes
applies, then you are entitled to recover attorneys’ fees as the arbitrator may determine.
The dispute will be governed by the laws of the state or territory in which you resided at the time of your purchase (if in the United States). The place of arbitration will be Weber County, Utah, or your county of residence (if in the United States). The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The arbitrator will not award consequential damages, and any award will be limited to monetary damages and will include no equitable relief, injunction, or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and final, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Except as may be required by law, neither you nor Suunto nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under this warranty without the prior written consent of you and Suunto.
TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION, IN COURT, OR OTHERWISE, WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. SUUNTO AND YOU AGREE THAT NO PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED AS A CLASS ACTION, A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE JOINED, CONSOLIDATED, OR COMBINED WITH ANOTHER ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ANY SUCH ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING.

Exceptions to Binding Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver:

IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, THEN: (1) you must notify Suunto in writing within sixty (60) days of the date that you purchased the Product; (2) your written notification must be mailed to Suunto at 2030 Lincoln Ave., Ogden, UT 84401, Attn: Legal Department; and (3) your written notification must include (a) your name, (b) your address, (c) the date you purchased the product, and (d) a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver. In addition, you may pursue an individual claim in small claims court in your county of residence (if in the United States) or in Weber County, Utah. In such case the provisions of the section titled “Binding Arbitration Agreement” Class Action Waiver (U.S. Residents)” will not apply, but the rules and limitations of the small claims court shall apply.

SUUNTO DISCLAIMS ALL STATUTORY AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND WARRANTIES AGAINST HIDDEN OR LATENT DEFECTS, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. IN SO FAR AS SUCH WARRANTIES CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WILL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD SET FORTH ABOVE. SOME STATES (INCLUDING NEW JERSEY) AND PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. SUUNTO WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF INFORMATION OR DATA, COMMERCIAL LOSS, LOST REVENUE OR LOST PROFITS, OR OTHER INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUUNTO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND EVEN IF THE REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME STATES (INCLUDING NEW JERSEY) AND PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER REMEDY FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES AND DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING SUUNTO’S NEGLIGENCE, ALLEGED DAMAGE, OR DEFECTIVE GOODS, NO MATTER WHETHER SUCH DEFECTS ARE DISCOVERABLE OR LATENT), SUUNTO MAY, AT ITS SOLE OPTION AND IN ITS DISCRETION, REPAIR OR REPLACE YOUR PRODUCT, OR REFUND ITS PURCHASEPRICE. AS NOTED, SOME STATES (INCLUDING, NEW JERSEY) AND PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

SUUNTO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DELAY IN RENDERING SERVICE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, OR LOSS OF USE DURING THE PERIOD THAT THE PRODUCT IS BEING REPAIRED OR REPLACED.
