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 watch at the center 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.
