f) Blocking a function
Should you wish to keep a specific function displayed, this can be done by
deactivating the crown rotating function in neutral position. In order to do
this, push the crown three times. The word
LOCKED
will appear in the screen at
12 o’clock for around 2 seconds. From now on, the function selected will remain
displayed until you push the crown three times again (and
UNLOCKD
will appear in
the screen at 12 o’clock). If the crown is turned in “locked” mode, the word
LOCKED
will appear at 12 o’clock for 2 seconds.
2. Rechargeable battery and power management
a) Rechargeable battery
The watch is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. Charging takes place
through two contacts located at 9 o’clock, on the side of the case, by using a spe-
cial cable supplied with the chronograph. The connector consists of an integrated
magnet that ensures the contact with the watch.
The autonomy of the watch depends on how it is used. The main consumers of
energy are the LCD display lighting and the vibration function (followed to a lesser
degree by the audible alarm). The more these two elements are used, the less auto-
nomy the watch will have. The two following graphs provide typical autonomy
values according to light usage. You will note that the autonomy of the watch may
exceed two months in the event of little light use or last only a couple of weeks
when used intensively.
