GT S – Gaseous Tritium ight Sources | Triglights
This KHS MISSIONTIMER 3 is equipped ith the best GTLS currently available on the market
and hich are made by the S iss firm mb-microtec. GTLS are minute, hermetically sealed
glass vials that have a fluorescent coating on the inside. They contain a small amount of
gaseous tritium. The electrons emitted by the tritium gas permanently excite the
fluorescent coating.
GTLS hich come from the market leader mb-microtec have a longevity of 20 years or more.
Although the initial brightness of the light sources is affected by a variety of factors, a certain
decrease in brightness is unavoidable over time, ho ever. The so-called half-life of tritium is
some hat more than 12 years. After this period elapses, the brightness is noticeably less, but
substantially higher than that of conventionally illuminated atches.
GTLS and all other electronic atch components must al ays disposed of ithin the
frame ork of existing legislation. If you ant disposed of your KHS MISSIONTIMER 3, please
contact your authorised KHS dealer or your relevant KHS Service Center.

Battery
This KHS MISSIONTIMER 3 possesses a high-quality S iss quartz movement that is battery-
po ered such that inding is not necessary. According to the movement's manufacturer,
the battery should last 36 months ith a rate variation of just approx. ±0.66 seconds a day.
You only have to set the time and date.
Since the battery is installed by the manufacture to check the functionality of the movement,
its expected useful life may be less than cited due to time in storage. If the battery is dis-
charged, it should al ays be replaced as soon as possible in order to prevent any possible
battery leakage. We recommend that you have the battery replaced by an authorised
KHS dealer.
IMPORTANT: Even though the manufacture of the movement cites a service life of up to 36
months for the quartz movement installed in this KHS MISSIONTIMER 3, e ould advise you
to have the battery replaced every 24 months or 2 years at least! Doing so ensures that there
is no possible battery leakage, hich could result in repairing or replacing the entire atch
movement.
