Operating Features

Indiglo Night-Light

Your Timex Expedition Scout 36 Watch is equipped with the Indiglo night-light feature. To activate the Indiglo backlight, press and hold the crown (in position 1). The entire dial will illuminate for easy reading in low-light conditions.

Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not recommended for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water intrusion.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

The watch uses one Lithium Metal battery (CR2016), which is included. The estimated battery life is up to 10 years. When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to have it replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.

Cleaning

To clean your watch, wipe the case with a soft, damp cloth. The nylon strap can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or strap.

Strap Care

Regularly inspect the nylon strap for any signs of wear or damage. While durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals can affect its integrity. Replacement straps are available from authorized Timex retailers.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed into position 1. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• Indiglo Not Working: Check if the crown is fully depressed when attempting to activate Indiglo. If it still doesn't work, the battery might be low or require replacement.
• Date Not Changing: Verify that the time is set correctly for AM/PM. The date typically changes around midnight. If the date is stuck, try manually advancing it using the crown in position 1.5.
• Loud Ticking Sound: Some Timex watches, including this model, may produce an audible ticking sound. This is a characteristic of the movement and is generally not an indication of a defect.
