Setup
Setting the Time
- Pull the Crown: Locate the small knob (crown) on the side of the watch case. Gently pull the crown out to its furthest position. The second hand will stop moving.
- Adjust the Time: Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands until the desired time is displayed.
- Push the Crown In: Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original, closed position. The second hand will resume movement, indicating the watch is now running.
Operating Instructions
INDIGLO Night-Light Feature
Your Timex watch is equipped with the INDIGLO night-light, which illuminates the entire watch dial for easy reading in low-light conditions.
- Activation: To activate the INDIGLO night-light, simply press and hold the crown (the same knob used for setting the time).
- Duration: The light will remain on as long as the crown is pressed. Release the crown to turn off the light.
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 30 meters (98 feet). This rating means the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, such as in a pool or shallow water. However, it is not recommended for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. To maintain water resistance, avoid pressing the crown or operating any buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the watch case and band with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the watch is completely dry afterward.
- Battery Replacement: The watch operates on one CR2 battery. Battery life varies depending on usage, particularly the frequency of INDIGLO light activation. When the watch stops or the INDIGLO light dims significantly, it indicates a low battery. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain the watch's water resistance.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, detergents, perfumes, or cosmetic sprays, as these can damage the watch case, band, or internal components.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch stops or runs slowly | Low battery | Replace the battery. It is recommended to have this done by a professional. |
| INDIGLO light not working or dim | Low battery or internal contact issue | Replace the battery. If the issue persists after battery replacement, contact Timex customer support. |
| Condensation inside the crystal | Exposure to extreme temperature changes or water ingress | Immediately take the watch to a qualified watch technician for inspection and repair to prevent internal damage. Do not attempt to dry it yourself. |
