PLEASE READ THIS BOOKLET CAREFULLY to familiarize yourself with the operation and care of your Timex watch and with the Limited Warranty.

You are now the owner of a Timex Combination Watch with these sophisticated timekeeping features:

• ANALOG (HANDS) PORTION – Hours, Minutes, Seconds
• DIGITAL PORTION – Normal Time/Second Time Zone, Alarm/Hourly Chime, Chronograph (Stopwatch), Countdown Timer, Calendar

SECTION 1 – INDIGLO® NIGHT-LIGHT

Your Timex watch with INDIGLO night light contains a patented electroluminescent technology (U.S. Patent Number 4,527,096 and 4,775,964). The INDIGLO night light illuminates the entire watch face (analog and digital) with a uniform bright light that offers superior readability in all low light and nighttime conditions. Simply press the INDIGLO night-light button to activate.

SECTION 2 – NIGHT-MODE® OPTION

Your Timex watch is equipped with NIGHT-MODE®. This Timex patented feature (U.S. Patent Number 4,912,688) enhances the benefits of the INDIGLO® night light. Once activated, any button pushed will cause the INDIGLO night light to stay on for 3 seconds.

NIGHT-MODE is activated by pressing and holding the INDIGLO night-light button for 3 seconds. The watch will beep, indicating that NIGHT-MODE is activated. NIGHT-MODE will stay activated for 3 hours or until you deactivate it by pressing and holding the INDIGLO night-light button again for 3 seconds.

EXAMPLE: When running lap time in low light conditions, press START/SPLIT. At this time, the INDIGLO night light will automatically stay on for 3 seconds, allowing you to read the lap or split time…all with one simple push of a button.

SECTION 3 – WATER-RESISTANCE

If your watch is water-resistant, it will be indicated on the watch face or the case back.

• 30 Meter Water-Resistant watch withstands water pressure to 60 p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 98 feet or 30 meters below sea level).
• 50 Meter Water-Resistant watch withstands water pressure to 86 p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 164 feet or 50 meters below sea level).
• 100-meter water-resistant watch withstands water pressure to 160 p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 328 feet or 100 meters below sea level).

WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER RESISTANCE, DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS OR PULL OUT THE CROWN UNDERWATER.

NOTES

• The watch is water-resistant only as long as the crystal, push buttons/crown, and the case remain intact.
• Even though the watch may be water-resistant to a significant depth (100 or 200 meters), it is not a diver watch and should not be used for diving.
• Timex strongly recommends rinsing your watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water.
• Shock-Resistance: If your watch is shock-resistant, it will be indicated on the watch’s face or case back. Timex shock-resistant watches are designed to pass the FTC test for shock resistance. However, care should be taken to avoid damaging the crystal. The following illustrations show you the various buttons and their location for operating and setting your watch.

SECTION 4 – HOW TO SET THE ANALOG TIME

The digital portion of your watch has five “modes”. Pressing and releasing the MODE button once changes the display to the next mode in the order shown.

In the CHRONOGRAPH mode, select either LAP or SPLIT by pressing SET. (Note: Chronograph must be reset to zero to switch between LAP and SPLIT.) The LAP chronograph allows the user to view the elapsed time for an interval but resets to zero to measure the discrete time of the next interval.

The SPLIT chronograph allows the user to view the total accumulated time at a particular interval while continuing to accumulate total time.

SECTION 11 – HOW TO USE THE COMPASS DIRECTIONAL RING

If your watch is equipped with a compass directional ring, it gives approximate compass readings. Locate the sun and then follow these steps:

1. Point the hour hand at the sun (see diagram).
2. WHEN IN A.M. TIME – Rotate the compass directional ring until S (South) is past the hour hand and halfway between the hour hand and noon.
   WHEN IN P.M. TIME – Rotate the compass directional ring until S (South) is before the hour hand and halfway between the hour hand and noon. Adjust the compass directional ring every hour to reflect changes in the sun’s position. When reading the compass directional ring, make certain the hour hand is always pointed towards the sun. When the hour hand is at noon, S (South) should also be at noon.

SECTION 12 – ELAPSED TIME RING

If your watch is equipped with a rotatable outer dial with numbers and indicators, this Elapsed Time Ring may be used to indicate the length of time remaining for an activity or the starting time of an activity. Time Remaining: Set the outer ring so that the triangle is pointing to the time the activity is to end. Starting Time: Set the triangle on the time the activity is to begin.

SECTION 13 – BAND ADJUSTMENT

If your watch has a band similar to the photo, follow these instructions to adjust the band since the clasp can be damaged if excessive force is used.

1. Open the locking plate using a nail file, a small screwdriver, or other blunt instrument.
2. Move the clasp to the desired band length.
3. While holding the locking plate with your finger and thumb, exert slight pressure and slide the clasp back and forth until you feel the clasp engage in one of the grooves on the underside of the band.
4. Firmly press the locking plate down until it snaps to a closed position. If it seems to be difficult to push closed, repeat Step 3 to ensure that you have properly positioned the clasp.

LIMITED WARRANTY

The Basic Coverage: This TIMEX Combination Quartz Analog/Digital L.C.D. (liquid crystal display) watch (but not any battery, crystal, band, or strap) is warranted to the owner for ONE YEAR from the date of purchase against defects in manufacture by Timex Corporation – not by the dealer from whom the watch was purchased.

What Timex Will Do: If this watch develops such a defect within one year, it will be repaired (i.e., a new or thoroughly reconditioned and inspected module will be installed) or replaced ( a watch of equal value and similar appearance will be supplied) at our option, provided it is returned with a $5.00 check or money order to cover costs of postage, handling, and service, and you provide proof of purchase and date of purchase.

This Limited Warranty Does Not Cover:

1. Timex will not repair defects related to servicing not performed by Timex Corporation.
2. Timex will not provide any warranty service if your watch shows evidence that it has been tampered with, misused, abused, or altered; for example:
   • moisture damage sufficient to affect the proper function of the watch;
   • damage to the case; or
   • visible cracking of the crystal.
3. Timex reserves the right to charge you for a replacement battery if the battery in your watch is depleted. No additional charge will be made unless the one-year warranty period has expired or servicing is necessary for reasons beyond our control, in which case a moderate charge will be made.
4. TIMEX IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, special, or consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. Your Rights Under Implied Warranties and State Law:

TIMEX LIMITS THE DURATION OF ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY STATE LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE.
   Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Care of Your Watch

• Avoid exposing your watch to water, steam, or other forms of moisture if it is non water-resistant.
• If the crystal becomes damaged, have it replaced at once to avoid damage to the module.
