HOW TO VIEW W ATCH INFORMATION

Tip: The easiest way to set the watch

time, date and alarms is to use the computer!

To set the Time or Alarms manually: (1)From Time or Alarm mode,

Press SET/DELETE

(2)Press MODE to select the digits to be set (Changes which digits are flashing)

(3) Press NEXT to increase

digits being set or press PREVIOUS to decrease the digits being set (these digits will be flashing)

(4)Press SET/DELETE to exit Set mode

Only Date, T ime and Alarms can be set manually.

Appointments, Anniversaries, Phone Numbers, and List's

must be down-

loaded from your computer.

SETTING THE WATCH MANUALLY

Battery life is 3 years, with typical use. Timex strongly recommends battery replacement to be done by a jeweler. For full battery details refer to the Watch Help in the software.

A WristApp

is a software 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).

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 thru 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 software 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.

IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND!
