Setup Instructions

Before wearing your watch, you will need to set the time, day, and date.

Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown out to the outermost position (position 3).
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hands until the correct time is displayed. Ensure you set the correct AM/PM. The date will change when passing midnight.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into its normal operating position (position 1).

Setting the Day and Date

The day and date are set independently.

1. Pull the crown out to the middle position (position 2).
2. Turn the crown clockwise to adjust the date.
3. Turn the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the day of the week.
4. Advance the day and date until the correct current day and date are displayed.
5. Once the day and date are set, push the crown back into its normal operating position (position 1).

Note: To avoid issues with the date changing at noon instead of midnight, it is recommended to set the time to 6:00 AM, then set the correct date and day, and finally set the current time. If the date changes at noon, advance the time by 12 hours.

Operating Instructions

Using Indiglo Night-Light

Your Timex Easy Reader watch features the Indiglo night-light for illumination in low-light conditions.

• To activate the Indiglo night-light, simply press and hold the crown (the button on the side of the watch).
• The entire watch dial will illuminate.
• Release the crown to turn off the light.

Note: Frequent use of the Indiglo feature will consume battery power more quickly.

Care and Maintenance

Water Resistance

Your watch is water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet). This means it is suitable for splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, bathing, or diving. Avoid pressing the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.

Battery Replacement

The watch uses one Lithium Metal battery (CR 2016 Cell). When the watch stops or the Indiglo light dims significantly, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.

Cleaning Your Watch

To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. For the stainless steel expansion band, a soft brush can be used to remove dirt from between the links. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

• Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
• Indiglo light not working or dim: This indicates a low battery. Replace the battery.
• Date changes at noon: This means the AM/PM setting is incorrect. Pull the crown to position 3 and advance the time by 12 hours.
• Difficulty setting day/date: Ensure the crown is pulled to position 2. Turn the crown slowly and deliberately. If still difficult, refer to the "Setting the Day and Date" section.
• Band feels too tight or too loose: The expansion band is designed to fit a range of wrist sizes (6-8 inches). If adjustment is needed, it may require professional assistance to add or remove links.
