SECTION 1 – INDIGLO®NIGHT-LIGHT

Some Timex watches feature the INDIGLO night-light. These watches
contain a patented electroluminescent technology (U.S. Patent
Numbers 4,527,096 and 4,775,964). The INDIGLO night-light
illuminates the entire watch face with a uniform bright light offering
superior readability at night and in all low light conditions. Simply press
the appropriate button to activate the light (button location may vary).

INDIGLO is a registered trademark of Indiglo Corporation in the U.S. and other countries.

SECTION 2 – 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).

• 50 Meter Water-Resistant watch withstands water pressure to 86
p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 164 feet or 50 meters below sea level).

• 100 Meter Water-Resistant watch withstands water pressure to 160
p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 328 feet or 100 meters below sea
level).

WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER-RESISTANCE, DO NOT PRESS ANY
BUTTONS OR PULL OUT THE CROWN UNDER WATER UNLESS
YOUR WATCH IS INDICATED AS 200 METER WATER-RESISTANT.

NOTES:

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

case remain intact.

2. Even though the watch may be water-resistant to a significant depth

(100 or 200 meters), it is not a diver watch and should not be used
for diving.

3. CROWN MUST BE SCREWED INTO THE CASE PROTRUSION TO

ASSURE WATER-RESISTANCE (see Section 11).

4. Timex strongly recommends rinsing your watch with fresh water

after exposure to salt water.

SECTION 3 – HOW TO START YOUR WATCH

To start your watch, remove the plastic guard from under the crown.
Then push the crown in as far as it will go against the case and
release. If your watch has a second hand, it should now advance in
one-second intervals.

SECTION 4 – HOW TO SET THE TIME

Before setting the time, if your watch has a day of the week and date,
first set the day (see Section 5) then the date (see Section 6). Before
setting the time, if your watch has a date only, set the date first (see
Section 6).

Timex watches either have a 2-position or 3-position setting crown as
illustrated below.

To Set the Time:

1. Pull the crown to the "OUT" position.
NOTE: If the crown does not pull straight out, your watch is

equipped with a screw-in setting crown. Refer to Section 11 before
proceeding further.

2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired

time.

3. Push the crown back in to restart the watch.

NOTE: To synchronize your watch with an external time reference

signal such as a clock or another watch, follow these steps:

1. When the second hand is precisely at 12 o'clock, pull the crown to
the "OUT" position. This will stop the second hand.

2. Set the watch one minute past the indicated time of the external
time reference.

3. When the time of the external time reference signal and the time set
on the watch coincide exactly (hours, minutes, seconds), push the
crown back in to restart your watch.

SECTION 5 – HOW TO SET THE DAY OF THE WEEK

There are two types of Day/Date watches. The day is set either in the
"MIDDLE" crown position or in the "OUT" position. To determine which
version you have, pull the crown to the "MIDDLE" position and slowly
rotate the crown CLOCKWISE.

If the day changes, continue to rotate the crown until you reach the
desired day. Then follow the instructions in Section 6 for setting the
date.

If the day does not change when the crown is rotated in the "MIDDLE"
position, pull the crown to the "OUT" position and proceed to slowly
rotate the crown CLOCKWISE or COUNTERCLOCKWISE through the
necessary number of 24-hour periods to advance to the desired day.
Then follow the instructions in Section 6 for setting the date.

SETTING THE DATE ON TYPE A

There are two versions on the date setting of a Type A watch. In both
versions, the crown is first pulled out to the "MIDDLE" position.

COUNTERCLOCKWISE

CLOCKWISE

In one version, the crown is rotated COUNTERCLOCKWISE only; in
the other version, the crown is rotated CLOCKWISE. Stop when the
desired date appears.

SETTING THE DATE ON TYPE B

Pull the crown to the "OUT" position and rotate the hands CLOCKWISE
through 24 hours until the desired date appears in the window. For a
quicker way to set the date, rotate the crown CLOCKWISE until the
date changes (approximately 1:00 am). Then rotate the crown
COUNTERCLOCKWISE back to 7:30 pm, then CLOCKWISE to 1:00
am. Repeat above procedures until the desired date appears in the
window.

Once set, the date will have to be advanced in this manner on five
occasions during the year (the five months that have fewer than 31 days).

If your watch is equipped with
a movable ring around the
watch face (as shown), it acts
as a slide rule and makes it
easy for you to calculate
speed, time, distance, and fuel
consumption, as well as doing
simple multiplication and
division, and converting among nautical miles, statute miles and
kilometers!
