night-light illuminates the entire watch face with a uniform
bright light that offers superior readability in all low light
and nighttime conditions. Simply press the INDIGLO night­light crown to activate.

PULSE TIMING
INDIGLO night-light

Please read this booklet carefully to familiarize yourself
with the operation of your Timex watch and with the
Limited Warranty.

Features of your Timex Watch with Pulse Timing
INDIGLO®night-light:

• INDIGLO night-light for reading time in low light conditions

• Special timing INDIGLO night-light – blinks in 15-second
intervals to aid in pulse taking or timing other activities.

• Dial with 24-hour markings

• Water-Resistant to 30 meters

PULSE TIMING WITH INDIGLO®NIGHT-LIGHT

SECTION 2 –

Along with crown activated INDIGLO night-light for time
viewing in low light levels, your Timex watch is equipped
with a special INDIGLO night-light used to aid in timing a
pulse or other activity in low light situations (such as a
patient’s dark room). No longer is it necessary to follow the
second hand around the watch dial to determine 15, 30,
45 or 60 second timing intervals.

Using the Pulse Timing INDIGLO night-light

1. When you are ready to time a pulse or other activity,

press and hold the separate pulse timing night-light
button until the light blinks off then on (approximately 3
seconds). When the button is released, the light will
shut off.

2. The light will remain off for 4 seconds giving you time to

locate the pulse. After the four second interval, the
INDIGLO night-light will blink again indicating that your
count should begin.

3. The INDIGLO night-light will blink in 15 second intervals

at 15, 30, 45 and 60 seconds after the initial count
signal light. This enables you to time a pulse for 15, 30,
45 or 60 seconds depending on your preference.
Continue counting until you reach the desired
15-second interval.

4. Multiply your count by the appropriate factor to determine

a one minute pulse. (For example, a 15-second count
should be multiplied by 4 to determine the pulse rate for
one minute.)

5. The timing procedure can be canceled at any time

during the counting period by pressing the pulse timing
button.

6. To begin timing again, follow step 1 above.

Note: When ready to use the Pulse timing feature, there is

no need to wait until the second hand reaches any
particular minute, since the light will indicate your timing
period.

Additional Note: During pulse timing, the regular
INDIGLO night-light can be used without interrupting the
Pulse timing feature by pressing the Timekeeping Crown.
However, while viewing the lighted dial using the regular
INDIGLO night-light feature, the light will not blink at the
next 15-second interval and you may lose your count.

SECTION 3 – WATER-RESISTANCE

If your watch is water-resistant, it will be indicated ( )
on the watch face or on the caseback.

• 30 Meter Water-Resistant watch withstands water
pressure to 60 p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 98 feet or 30
meters below sea level).

WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER-RESISTANCE, DO
NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS OR PULL OUT THE
CROWN UNDER WATER .

NOTES:

1. The watch is water-resistant only as long as crystal,

crown and case remain intact.

2. Timex strongly recommends rinsing your watch with fresh
water after exposure to salt water.

SECTION 4 – HOW TO START YOUR WATCH

To start your watch, remove the plastic guard from under
the TIMEKEEPING CROWN then push the crown in as far
as it will go against the case. The second hand should
now advance at one-second intervals.

SECTION 5 – HOW TO SET THE TIME

If your watch has a date, set it first before setting the time
(see Section 6).

Timex watches either have a two-position or three-position
timekeeping crown as illustrated below.

SECTION 7 – BATTERY REPLACEMENT

One battery provides the power to operate your Timex
watch. TIMEX STRONGLY RECOMMENDS TAKING
YOUR WATCH TO A LOCAL RETAILER OR JEWELER
TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED. The battery type
required for your watch is indicated on the caseback.

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 INDIGLO®night-light being used
7-10 times per day. Battery life may vary depending on
your actual usage experience.

The Basic Coverage: This TIMEX Quartz Analog watch (but not any battery, crystal,
band or strap) is warranted to the owner for a period of ONE YEAR from the date of
purchase against defects in manufacture by Timex Corporation - not by the dealer
from whom the watch was purchased.

What Timex Will Do: If this watch develops such a defect within the one year period,
it will be repaired (i.e., a new or thoroughly reconditioned and inspected movement
will be installed) or replaced ( a watch of equal value and similar appearance will be
supplied) at our option, provided it is returned with a $5.00 check or money order to
cover costs of postage, handling and service, and you provide proof of purchase and
date of purchase.

This Limited Warranty Does Not Cover:

1) Timex will not repair defects related to servicing not performed by Timex
Corporation.

2) Timex will not provide any warranty service if your watch shows evidence that it
has been tampered with, misused, abused, or altered; for example:

• moisture damage sufficient to affect the proper function of the watch;

• damage to the case; or

• visible cracking of the crystal.

3) Timex reserves the right to charge you for a replacement battery, if the battery in

your watch is depleted. No additional charge will be made unless the one year
warranty period has expired or servicing is necessary for reasons beyond our
control, in which case a moderate charge will be made.

4) TIMEX IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental,
special or consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not
apply to you.

Your Rights Under Implied Warranties and State Law: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS
IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESSED WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES.
TIMEX LIMITS THE DURATION OF ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY STATE LAW,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO ONE YEAR
FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. Some states do not allow limitations on
how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This
warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state.

Care of Your Watch:

• Avoid exposing your watch to water, steam, or other forms of moisture if it is non-

water-resistant.

• If the crystal becomes damaged, have it replaced at once to avoid damage to the

movement.

• When your battery is depleted, have it replaced promptly. The particular type of

battery required is indicated on your caseback. You can get them from your local
Timex retailer.

Service of Your Watch:

If your TIMEX watch should ever need servicing, send it to Timex addressed as
follows: HOTLINE WATCH SERVICE, P.O. Box 2740, Little Rock, AR 72203

Because of possible loss, we recommend insuring your watch, return receipt
requested, when using the mails. If you do not obtain a receipt within a reasonable
time, start a tracer through the originating post office. NEVER INCLUDE A SPECIAL
WATCHBAND OR ANY OTHER ARTICLE OF PERSONAL VALUE IN YOUR SHIPMENT.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE MAY SUBSTITUTE A WATCH OF EQUAL VALUE AND
SIMILAR APPEARANCE FOR YOURS ON BOTH IN-WARRANTY AND OUT-OF­WARRANTY REPAIRS.

For your convenience in obtaining factory service, participating Timex retailers will be
pleased to provide you with a postage-paid, pre-addressed Watch Repair Mailer.
