(date, Fahrenheit or Centigrade temperature) can be selected by using
this method.
3. A temperature reading update occurs whenever TEMP is pressed except
in Chronograph mode. Additionally, temperature is automatically
updated every ten minutes.
SECTION 7 – HOW TO USE THE CHRONOGRAPH
The chronograph (or stopwatch) is used to measure elapsed time from a
beginning point; for instance, to time a race. It can be used to record
segments of your training routine so that you can evaluate your progress.
To enter CHRONOGRAPH mode, press MODE once from
NORMAL TIME display. You are now in the
CHRONOGRAPH mode.
In the CHRONOGRAPH mode, select either SPLIT or
LAP by pressing SET. (Note: Chronograph must be set
to zero to switch between SPLIT and LAP.) The word
“SPLIT” or “LAP” will alternate with each press.
The SPLIT chronograph allows the user to view total accumulated time at a
particular interval while continuing to accumulate total time. The LAP
chronograph allows the user to view the elapsed time for an interval but resets to
zero to measure the discrete time of the next interval.
For example, if a runner ran one mile in four
equal one minute intervals on a quarter mile
track and the user pressed SPLIT/RESET at the
end of each quarter mile, the display would
show as illustrated.
SPLIT LAP
1/4 1.00 1.00

C. After 15 seconds, the watch will resume showing the running lap or split
time. “02” will appear in the upper display indicating that you are on Lap
2. You can count up to 99 laps in this manner. To resume showing the
running time before 15 seconds have passed, press MODE.
D. When the event ends, press STOP/RESET. The watch will end timing.
The lower display will indicate the final lap time (if LAP was selected) or
the total event time (if SPLIT was selected). The upper left display will
indicate the total number of laps taken in the event.
NOTE: If you pressed STOP/RESET while the chronograph readout was
frozen, you will need to press STOP/RESET again to display the final time.
E. To begin a new event, press STOP/RESET. This will clear the
chronograph and return the lower display to zero. You are now ready to
repeat Steps A through D.
NOTE: If you need to pause the chronograph during the timing, press
STOP/RESET. Press START/SPLIT to resume timing the event, or
STOP/RESET to clear the chronograph and return the lower display to zero.
SECTION 8 – HOW TO SET/USE COUNTDOWN TIMER

to disarm the alarm or set a new alarm time before the mode previously
displayed reappears.
C. To disarm the alarm during this 20-second period, simply press any
button to silence the alarm and then press START/SPLIT. The symbol
will disappear, indicating that the alarm has been disarmed and the
watch will return to the mode previously displayed before the alarm
appeared.
D. To set a new alarm time during this 20-second period, simply press any

SECOND TIME ZONE (T2), the symbol will appear in the right side of
the display indicating that the HOURLY CHIME is active.
SECTION 10 – HOW TO USE THE TIDE RING
The tide ring on your watch may be used to monitor tide changes.
To use the tide ring, follow these steps:
1. Check a local newspaper or contact the Coast Guard for the tide times in
the area you will be sailing or fishing.
2. Locate the "HIGH TIDE" indicator arrow on the hour marker that
corresponds to the first high tide listed, and align with dots inside the ring.
3. Next low tide will occur within the next 5 to 7 hours after the high tide
indicated on the tide ring. (Time indicators 5, 6 and 7 are printed on the
tide ring.)
Example: If "HIGH TIDE" occurs at approximately 2:00, rotate the tide ring
until the high tide arrow marker points to the dot at the 2:00 position. Low
tide should therefore occur within the hours of 7:00 and 9:00.
NOTES: The tide ring indicates when the first high tide occurs and
approximately when the next low tide will be. For actual tide times, contact
a local Coast Guard office or consult a local newspaper.
SECTION 11 –
HOW TO USE THE COMPASS DIRECTIONAL RING
If your watch is equipped with a compass directional ring, it gives an
approximate compass reading. Locate the sun and then follow these steps:
1. Point the hour hand at the sun (see diagram).
2. WHEN IN A.M. TIME - Rotate the compass
directional ring until S (South) is past the
hour hand and halfway between the hour
hand and 12:00.
WHEN IN P.M. TIME - Rotate the compass
directional ring until S (South) is before the
hour hand and halfway between the hour
hand and 12:00.
Adjust the compass directional ring every hour
to reflect changes in the sun's position. When
reading the compass directional ring, make
certain the hour hand is always pointed towards
the sun. When the hour hand is at 12:00 noon,
S (South) should also be at 12:00.
SECTION 12 – HOW TO USE THE COMPASS
If your watch is equipped with a compass, it gives an approximate
directional reading in 10˚ intervals. For a more accurate reading, place the
compass on a level surface.
TO REMOVE THE COMPASS – Remove the watch from your wrist, push
against the front of the compass and it will pop out of the strap.
TO REINSERT THE COMPASS – Place the compass under the opening and
push in.
SECTION 13 – BATTERY REPLACEMENT
One battery provides the power to operate your Timex watch. To change
the battery entails removing the clip which holds it down. To avoid the
possibility of permanently damaging the watch, TIMEX STRONGLY
RECOMMENDS TAKING YOUR WATCH TO A LOCAL RETAILER OR
JEWELER TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED. The battery type required is
indicated on the caseback of your Timex watch.
IMPORTANT NOTE: After replacing the battery and before you close the
caseback, be sure to quickly press the reset button twice if indicated on the
battery clamp. If after you close the caseback and replace the battery, the
display does not go on, press all buttons simultaneously.
CAUTION: DO NOT DISPOSE OF OLD BATTERY IN FIRE OR ATTEMPT TO
RECHARGE. KEEP LOOSE BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
When installed at the factory, the battery life in this Timex watch is
estimated to last approximately 2 years. This estimate is based on the
alarm being used one time per day for ten seconds and the light being used
one second per day. Battery life may vary depending on your actual usage
experience.
