COMMUNICA TIONS SUMMARY
1. Enter your information on the PC.
2. Verify that you actually have data
selected to be sent to the watch.
3. Click "Send to Watch"
4. Press the "MODE"
button repeatedly
until it reads
"COMM MODE".
Release the button.
After 2 seconds
your watch will
read "COMM READY".
5. Point
the

of the
monitor.
• Hold 6"-12" away
from a 14" monitor.
• For larger monitors try up to 24" away.
• Your arm may be horizontal or vertical.
• Timex Data Link transfer works best in a
well-lit room with a bright monitor.
Successful Transmission (READ THIS!)
When the watch is receiving data, it will
beep periodically. Then, upon successful
completion of the transmission, it will give
one long beep. Then for 4 seconds the
watch will display:
If you don't get this message, the
download was not completed properly.
If an error occurs during transmission,
the watch will sound
tone, similar to a European siren. Try
sending again with your arm positioned
at a different distance from the screen.
If you cannot transmit successfully, refer
to the Watch Guide topic: If the PC and
Watch do not communicate.

IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND!
(HINT & TIPS)
Each time you send data to the watch it
erases and replaces all previous data, so
you always know what is in the watch.
If you do not send a database (such as
Phone Numbers) to the watch, that Mode
will not appear on the watch.
Use your watch memory wisely!
Longer text fields use up more memory
than shorter ones. If you want the watch to
hold more entries, use as little text as
possible. If you want more text, put in
fewer entries.
Examples of what the watch will hold:
- 150 phone numbers if the names are 11
characters in length.
- 70 phone numbers if the names are 31
characters in length.
To scan quicker thr u phone #'s on the
watch press and hold the Next or Previous
button. The watch will scroll the alphabet
forward or backward.
Appointments have a selectable PreAlarm time of 0 - 30 minutes. Set it in
Appointments.
Refer to the Help Guides for details on
the following topics:
- Importing data from other software
- Moving data from one PC to another
If you want to use this softwar e with a
different model Timex Data Link watch,
select the correct watch model under File,
Advanced.
If several people want to use this
software on the same PC, simply install it
several times into different directories.
Each person will have their own copy.
Your watch came from the factory with
sample data and a WristApp program
installed. This special "Demo Mode" is, as
the name implies, for demo only. Once
you download a different WristApp into
your watch, Demo Mode is gone forever.
About WristApps
A WristApp
program that can be loaded
into your Timex Data Link
watch. It gives the watch
additional function. (Several
are included).
The Timex Data Link 150 watch
can store and run one
WristApp at a time. Choose
one to use, then send it to the
watch.
For descriptions of the
included WristApp programs,
and directions on how to use
them, click on the WristApps
button, then select Help.
WristApps are different from
user data. Once a WristApp is
loaded into the watch it stays
there, permanently, until a
different WristApp is loaded.
TIP: Download your watch
faster: Download a WristApp
once, then un-check it (do not
send it again).
NOTE: The Timex Data Link watch
is not a medical device. Users
should not rely on the watch for
reminders to take medication,
obtain medical treatment, attend
medical appointments and other
similar uses. Users should have
alternate methods for such
purposes.
