HOW TO SET TIME1, TIME 2,
DATE, AND 24-HOUR
FORMAT

Press MODE button until “TIME”
appears on the display. You are now
in Time mode. This watch has dual
time (T1 and T2). To set T1, make
sure the “T1” is showing in the
bottom right hand corner of the
display. To set T2, press and hold
START button for approximately
three seconds and release. T2
should now be showing in the bottom
right hand corner of the display.
Once you have selected T1 or T2,
press and hold LIGHT button for
approximately two seconds; the
seconds digits will flash.

Pressing the STAR T button will reset
the seconds digits to 0. If seconds
are 30 or greater, one will be added
to the minutes digits.

To set hours digits, press MODE
button; hours digits will flash. To
advance hours digits, press TEMP
button. To retard hours digits, press
START button; hold for rapid

setting mode, the setting sequence
is: seconds; hours; minutes; year;
month; date; 12/24- hour mode; M­D (Month-Day), or
D-M (Day-Month); and F
(Fahrenheit), or C (Celsius).

HOW TO OFFSET
TEMPERATURE READOUT

The temperature sensor is located
on top of the watch below the
display. The sensor reads ambient
temprature, which is an average of
body, air or water temperature.

The concept of offsetting can be
best explained with an example.

Wear the watch on your wrist and
wait for at least 10 minutes until the
sensor factors out your body heat.If
the temperature reads 10 ºF above
the mercury thermometer then this
means that your body (and other
internal watch components) causes
the watch to be10 ºF warmer. 10ºF
is the value that you would be
offseting.

In the Time mode, press and hold
TEMP button to enter the
temperature setting mode. When
the temperature digits flash, press
the TEMP button to advance the
digits, or press the START button
to retard the digits. Press the MODE
button to select the 10th degree
digits. Use the same buttons to
advance or retard the digits.

T o exit the temperature setting mode
and return back to time mode, press
the LIGHT button. The temperature
can be viewed in all modes except
for Alarm mode.

When TEMP button is pressed, the
temperature will be shown in the
upper section of the display. Press
the TEMP button again, and the
temperature will be shown in the
middle section of the display. The
temperature reading will disappear
from the display after approximately
4 hours; then normal time will be
displayed. The watch will not take
a sampling of the temperature while
the Night Vision™ light is on.

certified jeweler, watch repair
technician or Freestyle's service
center replace your battery. Water
leakage due to improper battery
replacement is not covered under
warranty.

Neither this warranty, nor any other

warranty expressed, is assumed for
any incidental or consequential
damages, including but not limited
to the mathematical accuracy of the
product. Some states do not allow
limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, or the exclusions of
or limitations on consequential
damages, so the above limitations
may not apply to you. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights, and
you may have other rights which
vary from state to state.

This warranty applies to watches
purchased in the United States. For
watches purchased outside the
United States, please contact your
authorized Freestyle® dealer for
