  • Chronograph Mode: A stopwatch function for measuring elapsed time, lap times, and split times. Use START/LAP to begin/record laps and STOP/RESET to stop/reset.
  • Timer Mode: A countdown timer. Set the desired countdown duration using the SET/RECALL and STOP/RESET buttons in setting mode.

2.3 INDIGLO Night-Light

3. Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your watch.

3.1 Cleaning

Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

3.2 Water Resistance

Your watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet). This makes it suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. However, it is not recommended for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Do not operate buttons underwater.

3.3 Battery Replacement

The watch uses one Lithium Metal battery (CR2016). When the display becomes dim or functions are erratic, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

3.4 Safety Information

  • Avoid high-impact water activities.
  • Keep away from young children.
  • Dispose of batteries safely according to local regulations.

4. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your watch, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

  • Digital Display is Blank or Dim: This usually indicates a low battery. Replace the battery as described in the Maintenance section.
  • Analog Hands Do Not Match Digital Time: The analog hands and digital display are set independently. Follow the instructions in Section 1.1 to synchronize both.
  • Buttons Are Unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, consult full manual for specific model lock features). A low battery can also cause unresponsive buttons. Try replacing the battery.
  • Chronograph Resets Unexpectedly: This may indicate a software glitch or low power. Try replacing the battery. If the issue persists, a factory reset (if available for your model, consult full manual) or professional service may be required.
  • Time is Inaccurate (Losing/Gaining Time): This could be due to a low battery or a need for recalibration. Replace the battery first. If the problem continues, professional service is recommended.
  • INDIGLO Night-Light Not Working: Check the battery. If the battery is low, the night-light may be the first function to fail.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Timex customer support.
