3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Using the Fly-Back Chronograph
The chronograph function allows for precise measurement of elapsed time. The fly-back feature enables instant reset and restart with a single button press.
- Start: Press the top pusher (button) to start the chronograph. The chronograph hands will begin to move.
- Stop: Press the top pusher again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be displayed.
- Reset: With the chronograph stopped, press the bottom pusher to reset all chronograph hands to zero.
- Fly-Back: While the chronograph is running, press the bottom pusher. The chronograph hands will instantly reset to zero and immediately restart timing. This is useful for measuring consecutive events without stopping and restarting manually.
3.2 Second Time Zone Feature
Your Timex T2N499DH watch includes a second time zone display, typically indicated by an additional hand or sub-dial. Refer to the specific markings on your watch face for its operation.
- Adjustment: The second time zone is usually adjusted independently using a dedicated pusher or by manipulating the crown in a specific position. Consult the detailed diagram that came with your watch for precise instructions on setting the second time zone.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and band with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel bands, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
4.2 Water Resistance
Your watch is water-resistant to 330 feet (100 meters), making it suitable for swimming and showering. However, it is not recommended for diving. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Do not operate the pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
4.3 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement requiring a battery. When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to take your watch to an authorized Timex service center or a reputable watchmaker. This ensures proper battery installation and maintenance of water resistance.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Watch Not Running
- Check if the crown is fully pushed into position 1.
- The battery may need replacement. Refer to section 4.3.
5.2 Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero
