Timex W148 User Guide

Congratulations on your purchase of the Timex®Ironman* Data Link®USB watch.

 It’s a feature-rich Ironman sport watch.  It’s a PDA for your wrist.

This simple guide will get you started with your new Timex Ironman Data Link USB watch and help you use the many features of the watch and software.

For complete instructions on using this watch, see the Watch Help and Software Help in the software. Printable versions are loaded automatically onto your computer when you install the Timex Data Link USB software.

WHAT YOU NEED

QUICK START GUIDE

INSTALL THE SOFTWARE

While a computer is not needed for most watch functions, the software makes watch setting easy and unlocks powerful features such as appointment and contact management. Every feature can be set simply and easily with a computer.

Yo u need the following to take advantage of all the watch functions:

 The included CD-ROM with the Timex

Data Link

USB software.

 The supplied USB cable.  A PC with the following configuration:

• Microsoft

Windows®98 2nd Ed., 2000 (with Service Pack 1 or higher), ME, XP or higher operating system

• 30 MB of free hard disk space

• USB port

The mini CD-ROM works in any standard CD-ROM drive with a tray; place the CDROM in the center of the tray. Visit www.timex.com to download the software if you have any trouble.

To install the software, load the CD-ROM into your computer. A menu should automatically appear (if not, run INTRO.EXE on the CD). Select "Install Timex Data Link USB." If you wish to keep track of your workouts on the PC, you may also select "Install Timex Trainer."

BATTERY

The life of a factory-installed battery is estimated to be about 2 years, but battery life will vary depending on actual usage. When the watch's battery is low, the message LO BATT is displayed in place of the date, at the beginning of each day. The reminder disappears when you change the display. You should replace the battery as soon as possible. While the watch will continue to run, a low battery may cause communication problems.

To avoid permanent damage to the watch, Timex strongly recommends that you have the battery replaced by a jeweler.

WATER RESISTANCE

This watch is rated as water resistant as marked on the watch. A 100 m waterresistant watch withstands pressure to 172 p.s.i. (equals immersion to 330 feet or 100 meters below sea level). A 50 m waterresistant watch withstands pressure to 86 p.s.i. (equals immersion to 165 feet or 50 meters below sea level).

Do not press the watch buttons while under water, as the watch will not remain water resistant.
