3. 3 rd level (“soft sleep”): Stop the motors by “parking” the hour and minute
hands (at 09:14 or 02:46); the seconds hand will remain at 12 o’clock, and the
LCD displays will go out. As a consequence, the watch will go into sleep mode
allowing the synchronization of the hands to be maintained, as well as the
correct time and date in background mode. This state can last for about 30 days,
but for any longer than this, the information will be lost and the watch will have
to be reinitialized. The watch must be charged to exit sleep mode.
Once the charge begins, the hands and various indicators (
TIME
,
DATE
, etc.) will
be updated. If there is too long a time lapse before recharging the watch, a
complete reset will be required (see chapter 3).
NB: Depending on how the watch is used (high energy-consuming functions), as
well as environmental conditions (ambient temperature), the moment the 1 st level
appears, as well as the duration of levels 1 and 2 may vary.
The
BATTERy
function will display the battery charge at any time.
A battery change will only be required after around 300 complete charges, or after
more than ten years of use. This may only be done by an authorized Breitling ser-
vice center.
c) Battery charging

any handling. In order to do this, the watch must be connected to the cable
