HOW TO START YOUR WATCH
(Does not apply to Perpetual Calendar models.) To start
your watch remove the plastic guard from under the
crown, then press the crown in against the case.
Some watches require the setting crown to be screwed
in. If your watch case has a protrusion with screw
threads, the crown must be screwed in after setting the
watch.
To screw in, push the crown firmly against the threaded
protrusion and hold in while turning the crown clockwise.
Continue to screw in the crown until it is tight. You will
need to unscrew the crown (counter-clockwise) before
pulling it out the next time you want to set your watch.

WATER AND SHOCK RESISTANCE
If your watch is water-resistant, meter marking (WR_M)
is indicated.

WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER-RESISTANCE, DO
NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS UNDER WATER UNLESS
YOUR WATCH IS INDICATED AS 200 METER WATERRESISTANT. NEVER PULL OUT THE CROWN WHILE
UNDER WATER.
1. Watch is water-resistant only as long as crystal, crown
and case remain intact.
2. Watch is not a certified Diver’s watch.
3. Rinse watch with fresh water after exposure to salt
water.
4. Shock-resistance will be indicated on the watch face
or caseback. Watches are designed to pass ISO test for
shock-resistance. However, care should be taken to
avoid damaging the crystal.

DATE AND TIME SETTING
NOTE: The watch crown has three positions: closed,
middle and outer. To familiarize yourself with the
difference between the various positions extend the
crown to its outer position and then push the crown very
lightly until you feel it click into the middle position.
To set the date and time:
Time
Pull the crown to its outer position and turn it until the
correct time is shown. Ensure AM/PM setting is correct by
verifying that the date changes at midnight, not noon.
Date (Does not apply to Perpetual Calendar)
Pull the crown to its middle position and turn it until the
correct date appears in the date window. Note: The date
changes between 10 pm and 2 am. Do not change the
9
date during this timeframe. Doing so could damage the
watch movement.
Push crown to closed position after setting date/time. The
second hand will begin moving.
NOTE: For months with fewer than 31 days, the date will
need to be adjusted.

INTRODUCTION
With your watch’s perpetual calendar feature, the
date does not need adjustment until 2100. The watch
automatically accounts for short months and leap years,
always showing the correct day and date. The day and date
were preset at the Timex factory. You only need to adjust
the time. The watch has two recessed push buttons for
use by Timex Service Center to set the day and date after
battery replacement. They have no use otherwise.
LEAP YEAR OFFSET
To maintain the correct date, the watch includes a setting
for the current leap year offset. This setting is made at the
Timex factory or after battery replacement and cannot be
changed, only viewed.
To view the offset, pull the crown to its middle position.
The date hand shows the offset: 1 = 1 year after leap
year; 2 = 2 years after leap year; 3 = 3 years after leap
year; 4 = leap year. Push the crown in when done and
the hands resume their normal display of day, month,
and date.

FLY-BACK CHRONOGRAPH
The watch provides a 4-hour fly-back chronograph.
1. To start, press Button A (START/STOP).
The 4th center hand shows the seconds with 1/5

chronograph counts up to four hours before stopping
automatically.
2. To stop, press Button A (START/STOP) again. All hands
stop moving.
3. To resume, press Button A (START/STOP) again.
4. To reset the fly-back chronograph to zero position,
press Button B (FLY-BACK/RESET).
When the chronograph is reset, all hands move to
zero position. After another eight seconds, the watch
resumes normal display of the second time zone.
5. To reset and/or restart the fly-back chronograph while
it is running, press and hold Button B (FLY-BACK/

4. You may also reset and/or restart the chronograph
while it is running. To do so, press and hold B (FLY-

BACK/RESET) to zero the chronograph and release it
when you wish to restart. You do not have to wait for
all hands to reach zero before releasing the button;
the timing will start internally from the button release.
This “fly-back” feature allows you to measure lap time.
The compass may be used while the chronograph is
running without interfering with its operation. See
COMPASS OPERATION.
25
COMPASS CALIBRATION
Before use, the compass must be calibrated.
Since a compass uses the earth’s magnetic field, you
must be aware of large metallic objects, such as vehicles
or bridges, or objects that give off electromagnetic
radiation, such as televisions or computers, which
could affect the magnetic field around the watch. If the
compass is calibrated near such objects, it will only
work properly in that same location. If the compass
is calibrated away from such objects, it will not work
properly near them. For best results, calibrate in the area
of intended use.
In calibrating and taking headings, it is important, as with
all compasses, to keep the compass level. Calibrating or
taking a heading when the watch is not level can result
in large errors. Also avoid areas that may exhibit higher
26
than normal concentrations of hard and soft iron, as they
may cause inaccurate headings. Whenever a heading is
suspect, recalibrate.
Do not store the watch near any source of magnetism,
such as a computer, appliance, or television, as the
watch can take on a magnetic charge, yielding inaccurate
headings. Typical accuracy of wrist-worn instruments is
within +/- 10 degrees.
To calibrate the compass:
1. Pull the crown to its middle position and wait for the
indicator hands to stop moving.
2. Keep the watch level or place it on a level surface (if
the band interferes, place the watch on an inverted
cup). The watch may be face down, but take care to
protect the watch face.
27
3. Press C (COMPASS) to begin. The 4th center hand
rotates two revolutions to remind you to rotate the
watch. While level, SLOWLY rotate the watch two
revolutions, taking at least 15 seconds per revolution.
4. When done, press C (COMPASS), keeping the watch
level. The 4th center hand moves back and forth to
acknowledge the end of calibration and then moves to
the current magnetic declination setting.
28
5. If you do not wish to set the magnetic declination,
push the crown in. Otherwise, to have watch
automatically compensate for the declination angle,
turn the compass ring until north is at 12 o’clock.
6. Press A or B to move the 4th center hand west (-)
or east (+), respectively, to point to your location’s
declination angle using the declination scale. Hold a
button to move the hand quickly. See the figure below
for an example.
7. Push the crown in when done.
A
Magnetic declination set to -14° (14°W)
29
COMPASS OPERATION
Normally, the compass is inactive, with the 4th center
hand pointing to 12 o’clock or showing the chronograph
seconds.
While holding the watch level, press C (COMPASS) to
activate the compass. The compass hand moves to
point north. If the watch is turned, the 4th center hand
will continue to move, always pointing north. After 20
seconds, the compass will automatically turn off and the
4th center hand will return to its normal operation. This
conserves battery life. Press C (COMPASS) at any time to
keep the compass on for another 20 seconds.
The compass may be activated while the chronograph is
in use. The 4th center hand merely switches operation
temporarily. The upper and lower hands continue to show
the chronograph time and all chronograph functions are
30
available through buttons A (START/STOP) and B (FLYBACK/RESET).
NOTE: During compass operation, the second hand
moves in two-second increments. Also, when the
compass is activated, the upper and lower hands may
shift position slightly, returning to their proper positions
when the compass is deactivated. This operation is
normal and yields the most accurate compass reading.

The watch provides a 4-hour split chronograph.
1. To start, press Button A (START/STOP). The 4th center

3. To reset the chronograph to zero position, press Button B (SPLIT/RESET).
When the chronograph is reset, all hands move to zero
position. After another eight seconds, the watch resumes
normal display of the second time zone. While the
chronograph is running, you may take a split time. Press
Button B (SPLIT/RESET) and all hands will stop while the

THERMOMETER
When worn on wrist, thermometer reading is affected by
body heat. For more accurate readings, remove watch
and put in shade for at least several minutes.
Watch can measure water temperature also, if submerged. Be sure to select temperature display before
placing watch in water, as buttons should not be pressed
when watch is underwater.
Thermometer readings are taken every minute, more
