ACTION

OFF (FACTORY MODE)

“Factory Mode” is a special function for reducing energy consumption to a 

minimum and helping the battery last as long as possible. 
The computer will be “off”, while still keeping all settings, storage, and time 

calculation in memory.
On the screen that reads “

EXECUTE

”, you can confirm the choice to switch the 

Action OFF using the LR button (YES) or reject the selection with the LL button 

(NO).
To exit “Factory mode” and reactivate the Action, press the LL and HR buttons 

at the same time.
