<p>A method for enabling or disabling mode functions in a multimode electronic device (1) is provided. The method comprises the steps of selecting a mode enabling/disabling mode from a plurality of modes by initiating activation of the mode selecting mechanism (6) until the mode enabling/disabling mode is exhibited, causing the integrated circuit (2) to enter the mode enabling/disabling mode, exhibiting at least mode function indicators for at least one of the exhibited mode functions within the plurality of modes as the mode selecting mechanism (6) is cycling through the display of mode functions, and selecting the mode function for which enabling or disabling is desired and initiating the switching of the mode function from one of disabled to enabled if the mode function was disabled or one of enabled to disabled if the mode function was enabled. An electronic device (1) that can carry out the foregoing methodology is also provided. In a preferred embodiment, the electronic device (1) is a timepiece and specifically, a wristwatch.</p> |
