Changed the battery on my Suunto Vector, now my altimeter shows negative 7920 m, when i try to adjust it it gives me a "dEF" on the screen. Anyone have this problem and if so did you fix it and how? Thanks!

They thought my pressure sensor may be broken and that i needed to send it in, repair could be up to $100, i just dont know how that would happen by changing the battery. I was hoping maybe it was just a glich that someone has had and there was a quick fix. Long shot, but thought i'd throw it out there.

I was just looking through the online manual
its says "dEF - default factory setting of pressure sensor,
corresponds to standard (1013 mbar or 29,90
inHg) air pressure at sea level"

Ya, I saw that too, but when mine goes to "dEF" when it clicks back to showing numbers the pressure is at 58.80 inHG so there's something wrong there. I may just be out of luck on this. Thanks for looking into to it tho, I apreciate it.
