COMPASS CALIBRATION

IMPORTANT: Watch must be calibrated before using to find directions!
This product incorporates the magnetic sensor technology of

PRECISION NAVIGATION, INC., Mountainview, CA.

A compass works with the Earth’s magnetic field; therefore you must
not be in or near large metallic objects (such as automobiles,
bridges, etc.) or objects that give off electromagnetic radiation (such
as TV sets), which could interfere with the watch’s calibration or use.
You cannot calibrate or obtain accurate readings from inside buildings, trains, or airplanes.

Typical accuracy of wrist-worn instruments is within +/- 10 degrees. To optimize accuracy, an
optional two-step calibration is recommended, and discussed in further detail below. In cali­brating and taking subsequent headings, it is important as with all compasses, to maintain a
level plane relative to the earth’s horizon. Performing calibration or taking a heading when the
watch is not level can result in large heading errors.* Care must also be taken to avoid areas
which may exhibit higher than normal concentrations of hard and soft iron.This is especially
true given the relatively weak magnetic field of the earth, relative to other sources of magnetic
fields. Failure to do so can result in inaccurate headings. Whenever a heading value is suspect,
a new calibration should be performed. It is also recommended that calibration be performed
in the intended area of use, or when the watch has been stored for an extended length of time.

Care should be taken to avoid storing the watch near any source of magnetism (computers,
appliances, TV’s, etc.), as the watch can take on a magnetic charge and render subsequent
headings inaccurate. When the watch is suspected of having taken on a magnetic charge, a
new calibration should be performed.

Applying good maintenance procedures, periodic calibration, and observing the guidelines as
outlined above will help to insure headings are accurate to within the limitations of the imme­diate environment.

A. To calibrate for magnetic north, press

view direction. (If the watch has not yet been calibrated, you will see HOLD TO CAL instead
of direction.) Press and hold HEADING until ROTATE WATCH TWICE appears in display

HEADING (from TIME OF DAY mode only) once to

B. Hold watch level relative to the horizon (on your wrist, in your palm, or on a non-metallic

table). Rotate watch slowly two complete rotations (taking at least fifteen seconds per
rotation). Press MODE when finished.

(Two-step calibration: Upon completion of STEP A, press HEADING. Do not enter a value for
declination angle. While in TIME OF DAY mode, press

HEADING. A heading will be displayed.
Noting heading value, adjust watch position for heading of 150 degrees. Initiate calibration by
pressing and holding HEADING until ROTATE WATCH Twice is displayed. Repeat calibration
procedure as discussed in Step A. At completion of calibration proceed normally to Step C.)

atch will then call for you to enter DECLINATION. Pressing

C. W

HEADING will exit calibration

mode and leave watch set to measure magnetic north. Entering a declination value instead
will allow the watch to point to true north, by adjusting for the angle, which varies for dif­ferent spots on the globe.

D. To set watch for true north, enter declination angle for your location from the chart below.

Press START to advance flashing TENS OF DEGREES, press

MODE to select DEGREES, then
START to advance. Press MODE to select direction, then START to switch between E and W.
Press HEADING to exit calibration and save new values.

Finding Direction

A. Hold watch level relative to the horizon in any mode but ALARM. Press HEADING to display

compass heading in direction of 12 o'clock. You may wish to turn bezel around watch face
to correspond to measured direction. Press HEADING again to cancel heading display (if not
cancelled, compass heading will display for ten seconds).

B. When pressing HEADING to obtain heading, watch may display HOLD TO CAL indicating cali-

bration is needed. You can recalibrate at your option; see instructions above.

*Some watch models have a leveling bubble above the 12 o’clock position to assist in

calibrating the compass. Watch is level when the bubble is centered in the lens.

INDIGLO® NIGHT-LIGHT

Press 5 to activate light. Electroluminescent
technology used in the INDIGLO night-light illuminates entire watch face at night and in low
light conditions.

NIGHT-MODE® FEATURE

Your Timex watch is equipped with NIGHT-MODE®. This Timex feature
enhances the benefits of the INDIGLO® night-light. Once activated, any but­ton pushed will cause INDIGLO night-light to stay on for 3 seconds. NIGHT-MODE is activated by
pressing/holding 5for 3 seconds. Watch will beep, indicating you are in NIGHT-MODE. NIGHT­MODE will stay activated for 7-8 hours or until you deactivate it by pressing/holding 5again
for 3 seconds.

WATER & SHOCK RESISTANCE

If your watch is water-resistant, meter marking or (

O) is indicated.

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

1. Watch is water-resistant only as long as lens, push buttons and case remain intact.

2. Watch is not a diver watch and should not be used for diving.

3. Rinse watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water.

4. Shock-Resistance: If your watch is shock-resistant, it will be indicated on the watch face or

caseback. Timex shock-resistant watches are designed to pass the ISO test for shock-resist­ance. However, avoid damaging the lens.
