Suunto Stinger Problem

[thehotcorner]

Hey all,

I purchased a pre-owned Stinger a few months ago and it's been working perfectly up until yesterday. I strapped it on when I went for a quick snorkel and after about 5 minutes it started beeping and when I looked at it, it registered my PO2 as 3.6. The PO2 and asc rate meter has been blinking ever since. Not sure how to reset it and what might have caused the issue. The depth meter seemed to record the accurate depth and my O2% is at 21%. My current dive time is at 957 since it hasn't come out of dive mode since I got out of the water yesterday.

Any help is appreciated!

I'd first change the battery and see if that helps, it should re set it.

Not sure if you have the manual or not, if not follow my link and have a flick through, it might shed some light.

I had looked through that same manual already, couldn't find anything that helped. Thanks, though.

Was it given enough time time to adjust to an altitude change before being immersed? If not, it probably needs to go back to the factory. FYI, it probably needs to go back anyway.

There was no change in altitude? I've been using it without issue for months.

A quick island hop can cause problems (Miami to St. Croix for example), that's why I asked. Probably nothing you can do. It most likely needs to get sent in for service. Call Aqualung, but when computers start performing erratically, they generally need service.
