Maintenance

Water Resistance

Your Timex Ironman Triathlon T300 watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (164 feet). This rating means the watch is suitable for showering, swimming in shallow water, and general water exposure like rain or splashes. It is not suitable for scuba diving, high-impact water sports, or prolonged submersion at depths beyond 50 meters. Do not press any buttons while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.

Battery Replacement

The watch uses a CR2025 Lithium Metal coin-cell battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.

Cleaning and Storage

• Clean your watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorinated water, then dry thoroughly.
• Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

• Watch Display is Blank or Faint: This typically indicates a low battery. Replace the CR2025 battery as described in the Maintenance section.
• Difficulty Setting Time/Features: Ensure you are in the correct setting mode. Refer to the 'Setup' and 'Operating Instructions' sections for specific button sequences. Sometimes a soft reset (removing and reinserting the battery, or pressing all buttons simultaneously if applicable) can resolve minor software glitches.
• Buttons Unresponsive: Check if the watch is wet; water can sometimes interfere with button operation. Ensure no debris is lodged around the buttons. If the issue persists, a battery replacement might be necessary.
• Inaccurate Time: Verify that the time and date were set correctly. If the issue persists after setting, the battery may be low, or the watch may require service.
