Avanti 9 + 12 Lithium Modules
Getting Started
1. With the bracelet or strap of the watch closed, squeeze and slide the
cushion through the watch. The back of the watch should rest against the
Orbita logo and the strap should lie on the flat portion of the cushion .
A program switch located behind the cups
allows you to select one of two winding
cycles: 8 minute (factory preset) or 12
minute (Extended program). The winding
cycle begins every 8 or 12 minutes based on
the program selected. Many watches that
wind in both directions stay fully wound on
the factory preset 8 min setting. To select the
extended program, remove the mounting
cup to reveal the program switch opening.
Insert a small object (screwdriver, pencil,
etc) into the opening and slide the switch to
the 12 minute setting. The factory preset
position is the 8 minute setting.
Congratulations!
The Avanti user guide will help take you though the initial set up and programming of your new watchwinder. Your Avanti is factory-fitted with ORBITA
Lithium "D" cell batteries which provide years of operating life at the normal
8-minute winding cycle. Even longer life may be accomplished by using the
12-minute mode pending upon the watch’s winding characteristics.
To access the Lithium batteries
on the rear of the watchwinder,
remove the small Phillips head
screws on the battery compartment tabs. Push the tabs down
and pull compartment doors
open.
