Setup

1. Initial Charging

Your TIMEX Expedition North Ridge watch is solar-powered. Before first use, expose the watch face to a bright light source (natural sunlight is ideal) for several hours to ensure it is sufficiently charged. A battery icon on the digital display allows for easy monitoring of the charge level.

The watch back indicates its solar-powered nature, emphasizing the need for light exposure.

2. Setting Time and Date

The watch features multiple buttons for setting. Refer to the markings on the watch case for button functions (e.g., START/+, RESET/-, MODE, LIGHT). Typically:

• Press the MODE button to cycle through different display modes (Time, Date, Alarm, Stopwatch, etc.).
• When in Time/Date setting mode, use the START/+ and RESET/- buttons to adjust values.
• Press the LIGHT button to illuminate the display in low-light conditions.

For precise instructions on setting specific functions, please refer to the detailed function guide available on the official TIMEX website or contact customer support.

3. Adjusting the Strap

The watch comes with a matte brown silicone strap with a buckle clasp. Adjust the strap to a comfortable fit on your wrist, ensuring it is not too tight or too loose. The buckle should securely fasten the watch.

Operating Your Watch

Time Display

The primary display shows the current time, day of the week, and date. The digital display is clear and easy to read.

Solar Power Functionality

Your watch is equipped with a solar battery that charges from any light source. Keep the watch exposed to light regularly to maintain optimal battery performance. The power-saving function helps conserve energy when the watch is not exposed to light for extended periods.

Water Resistance (100m)

This watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise the water resistance seal.

Using Digital Functions

The digital display offers various functions accessible via the side buttons. These may include:

• Stopwatch: For timing events.
• Timer: For countdowns.
• Alarm: Set daily alarms.
• Second Time Zone: Track time in a different region.

Consult the specific button labels and the full instruction manual (if provided separately) for detailed operation of each digital function.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. For the silicone strap, mild soap and water can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the watch's finish or lens.

Water Resistance Care

To maintain water resistance, ensure the crown is pushed in completely after any adjustments. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers followed by cold water) as this can affect the seals. If the watch is exposed to saltwater, rinse it with fresh water and dry thoroughly.

Solar Battery Care

Regularly expose your watch to light to keep the solar battery charged. If the watch is stored in darkness for extended periods, it may enter a power-saving mode or stop running. A full charge can take several hours under direct sunlight or longer under artificial light.

Strap Longevity

The silicone strap is durable but can be affected by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, chemicals, or excessive stretching. Inspect the strap periodically for signs of wear and tear.

Troubleshooting

• Watch is not running or display is blank: The solar battery may be depleted. Expose the watch to bright light for several hours.
• Incorrect time or date: Re-enter the setting mode and adjust the time and date as described in the "Setup" section.
• Condensation inside the watch: This may indicate a compromised water resistance seal. Avoid further water exposure and contact customer support immediately.
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode. If the issue persists, try exposing it to light for a full charge.
