Introduction
Welcome to your new Timex Expedition Scout 40mm Watch. This manual provides essential information for setting up, operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting your timepiece. Please read these instructions carefully to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your watch.
Setup
Unboxing
Carefully remove the watch from its packaging. Inspect the watch for any visible damage. Retain the packaging for future reference or storage.
Setting Time and Date
- To set the time: Pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch) out to the outermost position. Rotate the crown to move the hands clockwise or counter-clockwise until the desired time is displayed. Push the crown back in to start the watch.
- To set the date: Pull the crown out to the middle position. Rotate the crown to adjust the date. If the date changes during the day, advance the time by 12 hours. Push the crown back in to secure the date.

Adjusting the Strap
The watch features a fabric strap with genuine leather trim. To adjust the strap, simply thread the strap through the buckle and secure it through the appropriate hole for a comfortable fit on your wrist. Ensure the strap is snug but not overly tight to allow for proper circulation.

Operating Your Watch
INDIGLO® Night-Light
Your Timex Expedition Scout watch is equipped with the INDIGLO® Night-Light feature. To activate the backlight, simply press and hold the crown. The entire watch dial will illuminate, allowing you to read the time in low-light conditions. Luminous hands also provide visibility after exposure to light.
Water Resistance
This watch is water-resistant to 50 meters (164 feet). This rating means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. To maintain water resistance, do not press any buttons under water.

Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. For the strap, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the watch or strap.
Battery Replacement
Your 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 jeweler. This ensures proper battery installation and maintenance of the watch's water resistance.
Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Date Not Changing: Ensure the time is set correctly, passing midnight to advance the date. If the issue persists, the date mechanism may require service.
- Fogging Under Crystal: This may indicate a loss of water resistance. Avoid further water exposure and seek professional service immediately.
