When the Suunto Zoop Novo is open you will look right into the inner parts of the computer. In the middle you will find the battery surrounded by the o-ring. Take them out with the pincet and throw them away, this prevents you from mistaking the old parts for the new parts. Now open the battery kit and take out the new o-ring. With the pincet you can place it into the computer. The O-ring already have some grease on it so no need to put extra on it. You do want to check for hairs and dust so the o-ring can make a full seal. When the O-ring is in you can put the new CR2450 battery in with the pincet.
