Activating Night-Mode and FLIX Technology
The Timex FLIX technology allows you to activate the INDIGLO night-light with a simple wrist flick. To use this feature:
- Activate Night-Mode: Press and hold the INDIGLO button (top-right) for three seconds until the watch beeps. This indicates Night-Mode is active.
- Use FLIX: With Night-Mode active, a firm forward flick of your wrist with a sharp stop will illuminate the night-light for 5 seconds. This requires a deliberate motion to prevent accidental activation.

Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, clean it regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the resin case and strap.
Battery Replacement
The watch requires 1 Lithium Metal battery (included). When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to have it done by a qualified technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained. Improper battery replacement can compromise the watch's water resistance.

Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery.
- Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode. If the issue persists, a soft reset (removing and reinserting the battery) might be necessary, but this should be done by a professional to preserve water resistance.
- Time is inaccurate: Re-set the time and date as per the "Setting Time and Date" section. If inaccuracy continues, the watch may require servicing.
- Indiglo not working: Check if Night-Mode is activated. If not, activate it by holding the INDIGLO button for 3 seconds. If still not working, the battery may be too low to power the light.
