Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your Timex TW2R43400 Quartz Stainless Steel Wristwatch. Please read this guide thoroughly to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your timepiece. This watch features a quartz movement, date display, world time function, two time zones, and Indiglo night-light.
Setup
1. Setting the Time
- Pull the crown (center knob) out to the furthest position.
- Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Ensure AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or date changes at midnight.
- Push the crown back in to its original position to start the watch.
2. Setting the Date
- Pull the crown out to the first click position.
- Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date.
- Once the correct date is displayed, push the crown back in to its original position. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
3. Setting World Time / Second Time Zone
Your watch features a world time function and the ability to display two time zones. Refer to the specific markings on the dial for city indicators.
- Identify the sub-dial or rotating bezel (if present) designated for world time or second time zone.
- Use the designated pusher(s) or rotate the bezel to align the desired city with the current hour hand for the second time zone.
- Consult the watch's specific dial markings for precise alignment instructions.

Operating Instructions
1. Indiglo Night-Light
To activate the Indiglo night-light, press and hold the crown (center knob) for a few seconds. The entire dial will illuminate for easy reading in low-light conditions.
2. Water Resistance
Your Timex TW2R43400 watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. It is not suitable for scuba diving. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning Your Watch
Regularly clean your watch with a soft, damp cloth. For the stainless steel bracelet, a soft brush can be used to remove dirt from between the links. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.
2. Battery Replacement
Your watch is powered by a quartz movement, which requires a battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
3. Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original watch box can be used for safe storage.

Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to the "Setting the Time" and "Setting the Date" sections to re-adjust.
- Indiglo Not Working: Ensure the battery is not depleted. If the battery is new and Indiglo still doesn't work, contact customer support.
- Condensation Under Crystal: This may indicate a loss of water resistance. Avoid further contact with water and seek professional service immediately.
