    2. Why doesn't my eZ430-Chronos watch always respond when buttons are pushed? If buttons are pushed slowly (that is, held down too long), button pushes are ignored. 3. Why doesn't my eZ430-Chronos respond when I try to push buttons in short intervals in PPT or ACC mode? Especially in PPT mode it is important to avoid bouncing of the buttons.
  • Page 99 14. A button fell of the eZ430-Chronos housing after I reassembled it. The buttons of the eZ430-Chronos watch housing are held by small C-clips. If the metal strips for the buttons of the watch module bent and stuck at the watch housing buttons, they could have removed the C-clip.
