SECTION 3 – WATER-RESISTANCE/SHOCK 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).
• 200 Meter Water-Resistant watch withstands water pressure to 300 p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 656 feet or 200 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/lens, push
buttons 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. Timex recommends rinsing your 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 FTC test for shock-resistance. However, care should be taken to avoid damaging the crystal/lens.
SECTION 4 – GENERAL OPERATION/FEATURES
STANDARD CHRONOGRAPH WITH NET/ELAPSED TIME
In either SPLIT or LAP mode, standard (pause) chronograph operations are as follows:
A. Press START/SPLIT to begin timing. “LP.01” will appear on the upper
display, indicating that timing has begun, and that you are on lap 1. NOTE: You can leave CHRONOGRAPH mode while the chronograph is running. From NORMAL TIME, press MODE once to reenter CHRONOGRAPH mode.
B. Press STOP/RESET to stop the timing. The chronograph will stop
running.
C. Press START/SPLIT to resume timing OR
Press STOP/RESET to clear the chronograph and return the lower display to zero.
ADVANCED CHRONOGRAPH WITH SPLIT OR LAP TIMING
A. Press START/SPLIT to begin timing. B. Press START/SPLIT to temporarily freeze the chronograph readout
and measure a split or a lap. Either SPLIT or LAP will flash, indicating that a split or lap time has been taken, and that the chronograph is continuing to time the event.
C. After 10 seconds, the watch will resume showing the running lap or
split time. LP.02 will appear on the upper display, indicating that you are on the second lap. You can count up to 99 laps in this manner. To resume showing the time before 10 seconds have passed, press MODE.
D. When the event ends, press STOP/RESET. The watch will end
timing. The lower display will indicate the final lap time (if LAP was selected) or the total event time (if SPLIT was selected). The upper display will indicate the total number of laps taken in the event.
E. To begin a new event, press STOP/RESET. This will clear the
chronograph and return the lower display to zero. You are now ready to repeat Steps A through E.
NOTE: If you need to pause the chronograph during the timing, press STOP/RESET. Press START/SPLIT to resume timing the event,
or STOP/RESET to clear the chronograph and return the lower display to zero.
The chronograph will count minutes, seconds and hundredths for the first 60 minutes, at which time it will display hours, minutes and seconds, up to 24 hours.
(For watches with five push buttons, you can also peek at the chronograph from NORMAL TIME or SECOND TIME ZONE mode by pressing STOP/RESET.)
The SPLIT chronograph allows the user to view total accumulated time at a particular interval while continuing to accumulate total time. The LAP chronograph allows the user to view the elapsed time for an interval but resets to zero to measure the discrete time of the next interval.
For example, if a runner ran one mile in four equal one minute intervals on a quarter mile track and the user pressed SPLIT/RESET at the end of each quarter mile, the display would show as illustrated.

LIMITED WARRANTY
The Basic Coverage: This TIMEX Quartz Digital L.C.D. (liquid crystal display)
watch (but not any battery, crystal/lens, 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 module 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 or a Timex Authorized Service Center.
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/lens.
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/lens becomes damaged, have it replaced at once to avoid damage
to the module.
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.

SECTION 11 – BATTERY REPLACEMENT
One battery provides the power to operate your Timex watch. To change the battery entails removing the clip which holds it down. To avoid the possibility of permanently damaging the watch, TIMEX STRONGLY RECOMMENDS TAKING YOUR WATCH TO A LOCAL RETAILER OR JEWELER TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED. The battery type required is indicated on the caseback of your Timex watch.
IMPORTANT NOTE: After replacing the battery and before you close the caseback, be sure to quickly press the reset button twice if indicated on the battery clamp. If after you close the caseback and replace the battery, the display does not go on, press all buttons simultaneously.
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 4.5 years or as specified on the watch package. This estimate is based on the alarm being used one time per day for ten seconds and the light being used one second per day. Battery life may vary depending on your actual usage experience. The use of NIGHT-MODE®, which causes the INDIGLO®night-light to activate for three seconds with any button press, may reduce battery life.
BRACELET LINK REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: Prior to removing any bracelet links, first determine if your
watch can be sized using the “FOLDOVER CLASP” instructions above. If not, then follow the instructions below.
Removing Links: Place the bracelet upright and insert a pointed tool in open space of bracelet (see diagram). Slide bracelet pin in the direction of the arrow. Push hard since pins are designed to be difficult to remove. Repeat this procedure until desired number of links are removed.
Reassembly: Position the two bracelet parts back together, and push pin in from end it was removed, in opposite direction of the arrow. Be sure to press the bracelet pin down securely all the way into the link of the bracelet until it is flush with the rest of the bracelet.
