SECTION 1 – WATER-RESISTANCE
SECTION 2 – 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 to
the "IN" position. The second hand should now advance at one
second intervals.
SECTION 3 – HOW TO SET THE TIME
If your watch has a day of the week and date, first set the day of
the week (see Section 4). If your watch has a date only, set the
date first (see Section 5).
Timex watches either have a two-position or three-position setting
crown as illustrated below.

SECTION 4 – 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 counterclockwise.

If the day changes, continue to rotate the crown until you reach the
desired day. Then follow the instructions in Section 5 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 5 for setting
the date.

occasions during the year (the five months that have fewer than
31 days).
SECTION 6 – ELAPSED TIME RING
If your watch is equipped with a rotatable outer dial with numbers and
indicators, this Elapsed Time Ring may be used to indicate the length
of time remaining for an activity or the starting time of an activity.
TIME REMAINING – set the outer ring so that the triangle is
pointing to the time the activity is to end.
STARTING TIME – set the triangle on the time the activity is to begin.
SECTION 7 – BATTERY REPLACEMENT
One battery provides the power to operate your Timex watch.
TIMEX STRONGLY RECOMMENDS TAKING YOUR WATCH TO
A LOCAL RETAILER OR JEWELER TO HAVE THE BATTERY
REPLACED. The battery type required for your watch is indicated
on the caseback.
CAUTION: DO NOT DISPOSE OF OLD BATTERY IN FIRE OR

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