ZONE. Allows the selection of the country where it is installed and the closest city from a given list. The
astronomical switch will calculate the sunrise and sunset time every day of the year based on the
geographic position and date.
 Astronomical correction: Once the city is selected, the SUNRISE and SUNSET time can be
corrected to adapt it to the different topographical conditions (for example: fences, shadows cast by
buildings...). To do this, we can set forward or back the SUNRISE or SUNSET time up to 9h59min,
seeing the corrected time on screen as it is being programmed.
We choose the closest city to our location

BATTERY CHANGE. FIG. 3
corr.
The device has a power-reserve of 10 years, by means of a replaceable lithium battery. Battery
✓ 18:36 replacement is made by removing the rotating lid placed on the right side of the device. When the
battery is dead and the device is powered the battery symbol appears on screen.
NOTE: When changing the battery the device's programming is not lost, and neither is the current time.
TURN OFF THE POWER SUPPLY TO REPLACE THE BATTERY
To open the battery lid, rotate it counter clockwise (marked with an arrow) with a coin or a flat object that
fits in its slot, until the lid index matches the open position index of the device. Once the battery is
replaced, insert the lid so that the lid index matches the open position index of the device and then turn
clockwise until the lid index matches the closed position index of the device.
PROGRAMMING VIA SMARTPHONE/TABLET
The Bluetooth dongle is required for the communication with the device. Remove the front cover and
insert the dongle.
This type of programming requires an Android (Bluetooth 4.0) or iPhone (4S or superior) device and the
download of the "ORBIS ASTRO NOVA" app from the corresponding Market. Once installed, follow the
App's instructions.
