3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Indiglo Night-Light

Your Timex Easy Reader Watch features the Indiglo night-light for easy time-telling in low-light conditions. To activate the Indiglo light, simply press and hold the crown. The entire dial will illuminate with a soft, even glow.

3.2 Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water, such as during hand washing or light rain. It is not recommended for swimming, bathing, or diving, as prolonged water exposure or high-pressure water activities may compromise its water resistance.

4. Maintenance

4.1 General Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your watch:

• Clean the watch case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• For the genuine leather strap, wipe it gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or excessive moisture, as this can cause the leather to dry out, crack, or discolor.
• Store your watch in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in its original box or a watch case to protect it from dust and scratches.

4.2 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by one Lithium Metal battery (included). When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to take your watch to an authorized Timex service center or a reputable watch repair professional to ensure proper battery installation and maintenance of water resistance.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Audible Ticking Sound

Some users may notice an audible ticking sound from the watch's second hand. This is a characteristic of the watch's movement and is considered normal operation. It does not indicate a defect or malfunction of the timepiece.

5.2 Date Not Changing Correctly

If the date is not changing at midnight, ensure you have set the correct AM/PM time. The date mechanism typically advances once every 24 hours. If the issue persists after correctly setting the time, consult the warranty and support section.
