3. Operation
3.1 INDIGLO Night-Light
To illuminate the watch dial in low-light conditions, press and hold the crown. The INDIGLO night-light will activate, providing even illumination across the dial for easy readability. Release the crown to turn off the light.
3.2 Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (164 feet). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. To maintain water resistance, ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning Your Watch
To clean your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. For the fabric strap, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and air drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or water resistance seals.
4.2 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by one Lithium Metal battery (included). When the watch stops running, the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance. Refer to the Timex website or an authorized service center for assistance.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Watch Not Running
- Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is pulled out, the watch will not run.
- If the crown is in and the watch is still not running, the battery may need to be replaced.
5.2 INDIGLO Night-Light Not Activating
- Ensure you are pressing and holding the crown firmly.
- If the light still does not activate, the battery may be low or depleted.
5.3 Water Inside the Watch
- If moisture appears inside the watch, it indicates a breach in the water resistance. Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center for inspection and repair to prevent further damage.
