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.

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.

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)

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

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.

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

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.

last lap, shortest lap and longest lap. When the stop watch is active, small “tick” signals are emitted
every 2 seconds via vibrations and/or buzzer according to the output mode setting. Leaving the

simply reactivate/reenter this application again.
Following commands are available in this application:
Briefly press Button 1:
Once - to indicate the current lap hours (double digit output [0 –23])

9.6 COUNTDOWN TIMER APPLICATION
The Countdown timer permits you to set a time and to be alarmed after that period of time expires.
Intervals up to 23:59:59 are available. Pause and resume functions are present as well as two user
defined preset times for a quick use.

19
By default the initial value of the time interval (managed by Button 2) is set to 00:01:00, but the
watch will always keep the last time value set by you, once it is changed to a value different than any
preset value. Preset 1 has the initial value of 00:03:00 and Preset 2, 00:10:00. The user can change
those default values according to his preference.
When the countdown timer is running, there is a small “tick” signal every 2 seconds via vibrations
and/or buzzer according to the output mode setting. Leaving the application stops the countdown
timer and resets it to its default state. When the preset time for the countdown timer expires, you
will get the very long wave signal every 2 seconds during 1 minute or until you cancel the application
by short pressing key combination Button 1 and Button 3. After activating this application for the first
time, you can start the timer by long pressing Button 1, but once the preset time has expired, it will
not roll over to the initial time interval. You have to either make some changes to the current time
interval, or by restarting the countdown timer (press and hold Button 2).
Following commands are available in this application:
Short pressing Button 1:
Once - indicates the remaining hours (double digit output [0 –23])
Twice - indicates the remaining minutes (double digit output [0 –59])
Three times - indicates the remaining seconds (double digit output [0 –59])
Press and hold Button 1 to Start/Pause/Resume the countdown.
Short pressing Button 2:
Once - indicates the preset interval hours (double digit output [0 –23])
Twice - indicates the preset interval minutes (double digit output [0 –59])
Three times - indicates the preset interval seconds (double digit output [0 –59])
Press and hold Button 2 to start a new countdown cycle, using the initial interval overrules other
countdown cycles.
Short pressing Button 3:
Once - indicates the Preset 1 hours (double digit output [0 –23])
Twice - indicates the Preset 1 minutes (double digit output [0 –59])
Three times - indicates the Preset 1 seconds (double digit output [0 –59])
Press and hold Button 3 to load the time values from the Preset 1 into the initial time interval. This
will also deactivate any countdown in use.
Short pressing Button 4:
Once indicates the Preset 2 hours (double digit output [0 –23])
Twice - indicates the Preset 2 minutes (double digit output [0 –59])
Three times - indicates the Preset 2 seconds (double digit output [0 –59])
Press and hold Button 4 to load the time values from the Preset 2 into the initial time interval. This
will also deactivate any running countdown.
To change any of the values or settings, follow the instructions in chapter “Standard mode settings”.

10. OPTIONAL: WIRELESS LINK MODE
The wireless link mode enables Renaissance to connect with other devices and receive information.
This mode is only available with Renaissance Plus! A model of Renaissance without wireless link will
give you an “Error”-signal, if you try to activate that mode.
Note: On the Non-wireless versions of the Renaissance all wireless link mode commands are invalid
and therefore will produce an “Error” signal.
