JohnN,
There is a battery kit for the Suunto transmitter which includes: 2 o-rings, new outer housing, and currently 1 Varta cr 1/2 AA 3 volt battery. I would strongly recommend you to have your battery replaced by an authorized dealer or service center. If you replace your battery and the transmitter floods or malfunctions, there will be no warranty recourse for you.

OP
Thanks Chis,
I purchased the transmitter 'used' (second owner but as far as I can tell no dives), are Suunto warranties transferable?
----and an update ---
To the best of my knowledge, the Vyper Air + Transmitter was purchased in 2009.
Here is the Suunto Warrantay:

Suunto shall not be liable for delay in rendering warranty service

It's not surprising to me that after 3 years the battery is dead (voltage measures 1.8 V), and it's not clear if a transmitter is a "display device" (most likely not). Clearly the item is out of warranty.
And FWIW, one of those o-rings seals the transmitter to the HP side of the 1st stage (about as hard to change as a HP hose o-ring).
I do appreciate the response though.

JohnN,
The Suunto warranty is not transferable from one consumer to another. That being said, I would still strongly recommend you to have a service center replace the transmitter battery kit. You will have a 90 day warranty on the services performed from the service center. When in dive mode your computer will display the pair to your transmitter with a small lightning bolt at the bottom left corner of the screen, which will then display "CD:--". The dashes will turn into a number which is code that the transmitter is putting out. Next the current psi in the cylinder will be displayed. If the battery is low in your transmitter the computer will display that in the lower left corner of the screen as well, if this is what your referring to as a "display device".
