Insert a piece of paper

And what function will this piece of paper perform: electro-insulating, mechanical increasing distance, something else? Yes, and paper is already quite a collective farm, a piece of electrical tape (blue!) Or a fluoroplastic film can go.
Yes, and in your photo, something I do not see the paper at all. Maybe she's gray?

The altimeter and barometer did not work. The altimeter was not calibrated, the barometer did not show the data. The charge melted before our eyes for a day from 100% to 0%. A paper bag to turn off the sensor that was setting the battery. Now the consumption is 3% in 12 hours.

[selo666]

Omkin, the barometer earned?

[Omkin]

The paper is easier to stick between the contacts. There is no need to disassemble the board further. There is no paper on the photo because the clock is already assembled.

Posted 11/03/2019 10:21:

The barometer and altimeter will not work as the sensor is disconnected. In order for the barometer to work, you need to replace the sensor. I don’t really need the altimeter and barometer readings. The main battery keeps it as before.

[Lonely raven]

Oh, so you just turned off the pressure sensor \ altimeter. Well, as a means to reduce the consumption of acca, quite a way.
And did not try to look for a replacement sensor, on desks. Namburu or where they sell parts for F3? If the sensor is out of order, it can apparently be replaced.

[Omkin]

I found a clock for disassembly, I have now ordered a board and a sensor. But the barometer and altimeter readings are not fundamental to me. Everything else is important.

[lgmod]

Damn, I have a full charge in a day for some other reason, the altimeter and barometer work correctly. I ordered the battery and the LCD module in the collection, I will experiment.

Posted 11/03/2019 11:15:

Omkin, Do you have a problem when you turn it off as in the video?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9UumP3mRdeA]

No shuts down normally.

[bullik01]

Hello! Tell me, plz, how does this watch deal with water, and more specifically with sea water?

[Lonely raven]

bullik01 @ 03/11/19 12:43

How does this watch deal with water, and more specifically with sea water?

Everything's Alright. Onlyno need to pressno buttons underwater at any depth.

Now, when I received several consecutive notifications from Vatsapp, I received a message about the low battery of the Phoenix, although the current charge is 73%. Can this talk about a dying battery?

[solo1a]

Are the R-R intervals determined (heart rate variability) when using a non-Garmin breast sensor (Connected via ANT +.)?

Post has been editedsolo1a - 11.03.19, 21:23

[iNDEX3]

solo1a,in theory yes. But practice is given to very few people. I, for example,RR do not know how to cook.

[bullik01]

Lonely raven, with very salty water (the Dead Sea) there will be no problems, right?

Also, if not difficult, tell me, please, how many hours does the clock live in the "normal" mode (see time, steps, etc., without GPS)?

Post has been editedbullik01 - 12.03.19, 00:31

[selo666]

bullik01, about ten days.

[Alex8548]

lgmod, Like phoenixes? Maybe a low battery smartphone?

[lgmod]

Alex8548No, there is a low battery message on the watch

bullik01, in normal mode, my lived more than 2 months, in the mode just hours

Should not. It is important, after staying hours in any salt water, always rinse them under a weak stream of fresh water, without pressing buttons in the washing process.
Regarding the life of the clock from one charge, I would count on no more than 2-3 weeks, because you can hardly find now F3 with fresh acc. F3 was removed from production a couple of years ago, even if the watches are new, not used, in a box, LiKon decks are degrading on their own.
