1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Renaissance. You can say this watch is truly special, because it was developed by a small international team of enthusiasts, including myself, from the idea to its perfection. Of course, that was a challenge, but also a very beautiful process. I hope you will enjoy using it as much as we did developing it. Yours, Dietmar Litschel

2. PACKAGE CONTENTS

The package of the Renaissance contains, besides the watch itself:

- Micro-USB charging cradle

- USB to micro-USB cable

- USB power supply

- Printed user manual

- Acoustic instructions and PC-Software on the mini CD

3. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

Renaissance is primarily a conventional wristwatch, which reliably indicates time and date. But its appearance is not conventional at all. On the top side, where you would normally expect a display or a dial, two engravings can be felt. The narrow lettering RENAISSANCE, and the circular logo of Litschel Design. You won’t find a display or clock hands on Renaissance, because it gives all information via acoustic signals or using vibrations. Before you continue any further, carefully take your Renaissance out of the box and place it in front of you. The metallic part of the watch should be facing upwards and the side of the watch with 1 false button and 2 regular buttons should be pointing to your right side.

3.1 KEYS DESCRIPTION

Renaissance has 4 buttons located on the narrow side of the watch and they are arranged in a

clockwise order. On the top right side (at “one o’clock”) you will find Button 1. The false Button is exactly on the right (at three “o’clock”). On the bottom right side (at “five o’clock”) is the Button 2.

Page 5

Button 3 is on the bottom left side (at “seven o’clock”) and Button 4 is on the top left side (at “eleven o’clock”).

4. FIRST STEPS

After unpacking the watch, please remove the protective foil which covers the face. Although Renaissance is charged before shipping, we recommend to fully charge the battery before first use. To do so use the micro-USB-cable and connect it to a plug socket or to your computer.

The Renaissance is set to the date and time in the distributor’s/customer’s time zone. You can also let the software synchronize your watch with your computer by installing the Renaissance sync software and connecting your Renaissance to it via cradle. You can also change date and time manually, for that please take a look at the "Standard operation mode- Settings" section.

4.1 BATTERY CHARGING

Renaissance is powered by a rechargeable battery. To charge the battery of your Renaissance use the supplied charging cradle. Open the cradle by pressing the release button on the opposite side of the micro-USB socket. Once the cradle is opened, place the watch with the metallic engraved side facing up and the tactile marking (false button) close to the opening knob in the charging station. Only when the watch is correctly placed in the charging station, the hinge can be closed. Plug the smaller end of the micro-USB cable into the socket on the opposite side of the opening knob. Now the charging station needs to be powered. You can plug the larger end of the micro-USB cable into the supplied USB charger, any other standard USB charger or into a computer with a USB interface.

At both events, “Charging started” and “Charging finished”, the user is notified with the following signals: “Charging started” and “Charging finished”. If the battery is completely uncharged, charging

time is approximately 2 hours with the supplied USB charger.

Note: Depending on the USB port of your computer, different power output may be available for charging. The watch will always be synchronized when charging via computer, if the supplied software is installed. Regularly charge the battery to make sure you do not lose any data or settings.

Page 6

Note: You can also check the charging status, while the watch is in the charging cradle. By pressing the key combination Button 2 and Button 4 once briefly. Renaissance will output the signal “Charging started”, if it is still in progress or the signal “Charging finished”, when the charging cycle is complete.

Note: To extend battery life it should not remain discharged for longer than 6 months.

4.2 BATTERY LEVEL INDICATION

To retrieve the remaining charge level, press the key combination Button 2 and Button 4 once briefly. The battery level is indicated by values 10 (fully charged) to 1 (battery almost empty).

5. OUTPUT SYSTEM

Renaissance works with a system of signals representing numerical values and sequences of signals to display more information. All signals can be displayed optionally as vibrations, sounds or both. Every numerical value and information is represented by a unique sequence of signals.

Sequences can contain 6 types of signals:

- The wave signal

- The short signal

- The long signal

- The very long signal (only used for charging purpose)

- The very long wave signal (only used for medication reminder or stop watch application)

- The click signal (only used for manual settings)

5.1 SHOWING NUMBERS

When displaying numbers, every signal has a value assigned to it:

Wave signal represents the number 0 Short signal represents the number 1 Long signal represents the number 4

Digits can be calculated as a sum of values.

For example:

Number 6: 1 long signal, 2 short signals (4 + 1 + 1) Number 9: 2 long signals, 1 short signal (4 + 4 + 1)

Page 7

Note: If a sequence of signals represents a number, the long signals will be displayed first, followed by the short ones.

5.2 MULTI-DIGIT NUMBERS

Renaissance displays, except in Easy Mode, all numbers as double digit values. They are displayed as tens digits followed by a longer pause and then ones digits. If the value is less than 10, the first digit is represented by number 0 (wave signal).

For example:

08: wave signal, longer pause, two long signals 10: short signal, longer pause, wave signal 16: short signal, longer pause, long signal, two short signals 23: 2 short signals, longer pause, three short signals

This way Renaissance can display numbers from 0 to 99.

Please note: In the standard mode, time is specified in 24 hour format. Easy mode uses a 12 hour format.

5.3 SHOWING SIGNALS

Additional to the numeric values, Renaissance uses other signals for giving more information. These signals are listed below:

ON: 1 short signal OFF: 1 wave signal

Charging started: 1 short signal, 1 very long signal, 1 short signal Charging finished: 1 short signal, 1 very long signal, 2 short signals Error: 1 short signal, 3 long signals (with falling frequency for buzzer

output) YES: 1 long signal, 1 short signal, 1 long signal, 1 short signal NO: 1 short signal, 1 long signal, 1 short signal, 1 long signal Confirmation: 1 long signal Alarm ring: 3 wave signals Snoozed alarm ring: 3 wave signals, 1 short signal, 1 long signal Medication alarm ring: 1 very long wave signal, followed by the number of the alarm

which is ringing Countdown ring: 1 very long wave signal SOS ring: 3 short signals, 3 long signals, 3 short signals

In Wireless Link Modus: (only for Renaissance +)

Search for wireless link devices: sequence of single short signals Connecting with wireless devices: sequence of double short signals Connection established: Yes signal

Page 8

Connection separated: No signal Value received: 4 short signals, 1 long signal, 4 short signals

(with rising and falling frequency for buzzer output)

6. OUTPUT MODES

Renaissance has 3 output modes:

- Vibrations-only mode (value 0)

- Acoustic-only mode (value 1)

- Combined mode (value 2)

You can check the current mode by pressing the key combination Button 2 and Button 4 twice briefly.

6.1 VIBRATIONS-ONLY MODE

The first mode is the vibration mode. Signals are emitted only via vibrations. This mode is particularly suitable for deafblind users or in a noisy environment. It is also a very discrete alternative for someone who wishes to use Renaissance quietly.

6.2 ACOUSTIC-ONLY MODE

The second mode is the acoustic mode. Signals are emitted only via beeps. Sequences for numbers and information are exactly the same, but different frequencies will help to distinguish the sequences easier. Using acoustic signals only, slightly increases the battery life compared to the combined mode.

6.3 COMBINED MODE

The third mode is the combined mode. Both, vibrations and acoustic signals are active.

Note: This is the default mode for the Renaissance.

6.4 OUTPUT MODE CHECKING AND SETTING

To verify which output mode is activated, briefly press the key combination Button 2 and Button 4 twice. Default setting is the combination mode, in that case the Renaissance will announce, that the value is 2 (2 short signals).

To set the output mode, follow the steps 1 - 4:

1. First retrieve the current value of the setting you want to change by pressing the key

combination Button 2 and Button 4 twice briefly.

Page 9

2. Press and hold the key combination Button 1 and Button 3, until the Renaissance emits a

confirming signal, to activate setting mode.

3. Now press Button 2 to reach the desired setting. By activating the setting mode the value

is set to 0. Every time Button 2 is pressed, the setting increases by 1. Change new setting to 0 for vibrations-only mode, to 1 for acoustic-only mode and to 2 for the combined

mode. Any other value is invalid and will not be accepted.

4. Confirm the changed value by pressing the key combination Button 1 and Button 3 once

briefly. If the changes are done correctly, you will get the “YES”-signal. Invalid entries or inactivity timeout (after 12 seconds) will be confirmed with a “NO”-signal and the old

value of the setting will be kept.

6.5 OUTPUT MODE SPEED CHECKING AND SETTING

Renaissance offers the possibility to choose among 7 different speed levels at which the signals are displayed. Level 0 is the slowest and level 6 is the fastest. To verify to which value the output speed is set, briefly press key combination Button 2 and Button 4 three times. The default setting of output speed is 3, so in that case Renaissance will tell the value is 3 (3 short signals).

To set the output speed, proceed as follows:

1. First retrieve the current value of the setting you want to change, by pressing the key

combination Button 2 and Button 4 three times briefly.

2. Press and hold key combination Button 1 and Button 3, until Renaissance emits a confirming

signal, to switch to the setting mode.

3. Now keep pressing Button 2 as many times to increase the setting to the new desired value. At

the start of the setting mode the value is set to 0. Each time you press Button 2, the setting increases by 1. You can choose the new value from 0, which is the slowest setting, fit for beginners, up to the fastest value 6, which would be appreciated by the advanced users. The

default value is 3. Any other value is invalid and will not be accepted.

4. Confirm the changed value by pressing the key combination Button 1 and Button 3 once

briefly. If the changes are done correctly, you will get the “YES”-signal. Invalid entries or inactivity timeout will be confirmed with a “NO”-signal and the old value of the setting will be

kept.

9.2 MEDICATION REMINDER

Medication reminders are designed to help you execute the daily medication schedule (e.g. taking pills, doing exercises or measurements etc.). These alarms have to be properly canceled, because after three separate alarm signal cycles the watch will start constantly ringing the SOS signal via beeping and vibrations and will ignore the current setting of the output mode. This signal should catch the attention of other people around the watch owner, to support him because the medication

Page 16

alarm was not properly canceled. Each medication reminder has its own and unique alarm signal so the user can immediately recognize, which medication reminder is ringing. Every medication reminder signal contains first a very long wave signal which is followed by a number corresponding to the medication reminder number, which is currently ringing. If two or more medication reminders are set to the same time, only one of them will be replayed.

9.2.1 READING VALUES AND SETTINGS OF MEDICATION REMINDER

You can set the medication reminder to any time of the day. All medication reminder related information can be requested via the Button assigned to it in its medication reminders group.

Briefly press the assigned button:

Once - to indicate the reminder hours (double digit output [0 – 23]) Twice - to indicate the reminder minutes (double digit output [0 – 59]) Three times - to check whether the reminder is enabled (symbol output [ON/OFF])

You can use a shortcut key sequence to switch to the reminder enabled setting: SHORT Assigned button + SHORT Assigned button + HOLD Assigned button Renaissance will output the Confirmation signal on execution of the command.
