3.  Quick operation guide 

 

The exceptional performance of Chronoprinter CP540 is guaranteed with its simplicity of use, the 
hallmark of TAG Heuer timing philosophy  

3.1.  Battery installation & replacement 

To open the battery cover, use your thumbs to firmly push it in the direction of the arrow. 
Insert the batteries, respecting the correct polarity, as indicated at the bottom of the compartment. 
 
 

 
WARNING 
 

To guarantee the security of your timekeeping, it is recommended to use your CP540 with 
the internal batteries in a well-charged state, or with the Docking - BATT. 
 

Always remove the batteries if you don’t use your CP540 for several days. 
If you forget to do this, the batteries could leak and seriously damage the device. The 
warranty does not cover this problem. 
 

The time of day, the date, the memorized runs and the selected parameters are saved by a 
small internal battery. 
 

 
 

3.2.  Switch the CP540 ON and Synchro
