Devon Tread 1, Owner'S Manual

Page: 21 / 224

• When was the last time the battery was charged?
The watch continuously monitors the state of
the battery. If the power level drops too low,
the microcontroller will shut down the belts
to conserve power. This allows the watch to
continue to store the correct time until it can
be charged again. Charging the watch for 5-6
hours should return it to a fully charged state.
Consult the Battery and Charging section of
this document for more information.
• Battery life
The capacity of all batteries decreases as they
are used. When new, the Tread 1 should last up
to 72 hours in normal mode and up to 2 weeks
in quiet mode. For best performance the watch
should be charged as often as possible. There
is no need to allow the battery to become fully
depleted before charging – in fact this can lead
to shorter battery life. Several factors could
contribute to reduced battery performance.
• Is the watch set properly in the cradle?
If the watch is not seated fully in the charging
cradle the induction coils will not properly
couple and the watch will not charge. If using
a travel charger the box lid must be closed to
secure the watch to the charging cradle.
