NOTE: Watch is shipped with guard around crown. Remove guard
and push crown in to start. Altimeter must be calibrated before using
to ensure accuracy and avoid improper altitude reading. See
Altimeter Calibration section for complete details.
SET DATE AND TIME
Pull crown to MIDDLE position and turn until correct date appears.
After setting date, pull crown all the way out and turn until correct
time is shown. Ensure correct AM/PM setting by verifying that date
changes at midnight, not noon. Push crown in when done. Adjust
date after months with fewer than 31 days.
INDICATOR HAND (4TH CENTER HAND) ADJUSTMENT
Pull crown all the way out. The upper and lower retrograde hands
reset to the start of their scales automatically. Indicator hand (4th
center hand) should point to 12 o’clock. If it does not, press either A
and/or B button to move hand until it points to 12 o’clock. A and B
buttons move hand counterclockwise and clockwise, respectively.
Hold button to move hand fast. Push crown in when done.
ALTIMETER CALIBRATION
Before use, the altimeter must be calibrated.
Since an altimeter uses pressure to determine the altitude and
pressure varies from place to place, it is important to set the
altimeter to a known reference altitude value, or to a standard
reference altitude of a given place. Sudden changes in pressure due
to changes in weather can cause your altimeter reading to be off by
+-100m (328 ft), even if your location has not changed. Recalibrate
to a known altitude when drastic pressure changes occur.
To calibrate the altimeter:
1. Pull the crown to its middle position and wait for the indicator
hands to stop moving.
2. If the altimeter was OFF at the moment of crown pulling, the
lower retrograde hand will point to the unit selected the last time
the altimeter was used, otherwise the lower retrograde hand
points to the current selected unit in altitude display. The 4th
center hand and upper retrograde hand should point to the
current altitude.
3. Press A or B to move the 4th center hand counterclockwise or
clockwise, respectively, until it points to the desired calibration
altitude. Holding A or B will move the center hand more rapidly.
The upper retrograde hand moves relative to the altitude value
displayed by the 4th center hand.
4. Push crown in when done.
To change the unit from METERS to FEET or FEET to METERS, press
C. If button C is not released within one second, changes made in
calibration are discarded and the current altitude is displayed.
ALTIMETER ON/OFF
To turn the altimeter on, press C. The lower retrograde hand points
to METERS. Using the markings on the top ring, the 4th center hand
shows the current altitude’s hundreds and tens value with divisions
every ten METERS/FEET. The upper retrograde hand shows the
current altitude’s thousands value with divisions every one thousand
METERS/FEET.
To change the unit from METERS to FEET, press C a second time.
To change the unit from FEET to METERS, press C twice (altimeter is
turned off first then turned back on with the unit in METERS).
To turn the altimeter off with the current unit set to FEET, press C.
To turn the altimeter off with the unit set to METERS, press C twice
(lower hand goes to FEET first before going to the OFF position).
The watch will automatically turn the altimeter off after 60 minutes
from activation.
Example: Altitude=7580 ft
Example: Altitude=2310 m
ALTIMETER MIN/MAX ALTITUDE RECALL
To view the maximum recorded altitude, press A. The lower retro-
grade hand shows the unit of measure that the maximum altitude
was recorded in if the altimeter was OFF at the moment of button
press, otherwise it will show the maximum altitude using the current
selected unit. The 4th center hand shows the maximum altitude’s
hundreds and tens value with divisions every ten METERS/FEET. The
upper retrograde hand shows the maximum altitude’s thousands
value with divisions every one thousand METERS/FEET.
The maximum recorded altitude is displayed for ten seconds. To
extend the display duration for another ten seconds, press A before
the previous ten second duration expires.
To change the unit from METERS to FEET or FEET to METERS, press C.
To view the minimum recorded altitude, press B. The lower retro-
grade hand shows the unit of measure that the minimum altitude
was recorded in if the altimeter was OFF at the moment of button
press, otherwise it will show the minimum altitude using the current
selected unit. The 4th center hand shows the minimum altitude’s
hundreds and tens value with divisions every ten METERS/FEET. The
upper retrograde hand shows the minimum altitude’s thousands
value with divisions every one thousand METERS/FEET.
The minimum recorded altitude is displayed for ten seconds. To
extend the display duration for another ten seconds, press B before
the previous ten second duration expires To change the unit from
METERS to FEET or FEET to METERS, press C.
WATER RESISTANCE
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER-RESISTANCE, DO NOT PRESS
ANY BUTTONS UNDER WATER.
1. Watch is water-resistant only as long as lens, push buttons and
case remain intact.
2. Watch is not a diver watch and should not be used for diving.
3. Rinse watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water.
If your watch is water-resistant, meter marking or (O) is indicated.

BATTERY
Timex strongly recommends that a retailer or jeweler replace
battery. Battery type is on watch back. If present, push/short inter-
nal reset switch after replacing battery. Battery life estimates are
based on certain assumptions regarding usage; battery life may vary
depending on actual usage.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERY IN FIRE. DO NOT RECHARGE. KEEP
LOOSE BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
INDIGLO® NIGHT-LIGHT
Press button or crown to activate light.
Electroluminescent technology used in the INDIGLO®
night-light illuminates entire watch face at night and in low light
conditions.
BRACELET ADJUSTMENT
Foldover Clasp Bracelet
Find spring bar that connects bracelet to clasp. Using a pointed tool
(Fig. 1), push spring bar in and gently twist bracelet to disengage.
Determine wrist size, then insert spring bar in correct bottom hole
(Fig. 2). Push down on spring bar, align with top hole and release to
lock in place (Fig. 3).

Bracelet Link Removal
Removing Links: Place bracelet upright and
insert pointed tool in opening of link. Push
pin forcefully in direction of arrow until link is
detached (pins are designed to be difficult to
remove). Repeat until desired number of links
are removed.
Reassembly: Rejoin bracelet parts. Push pin back into link in oppo-
site direction of arrow. Press pin down securely into bracelet until it
is flush.
Solid Link Bracelet
Removing Links: Using a very small screwdriv-
er, remove screws by
turning counterclockwise. Repeat until desired
number of links are removed. Do not remove
links adjacent to clasp.
Reassembly: Rejoin bracelet parts and insert
screw in end of opening where it was removed. Turn screw clock-
wise until tight and flush with bracelet.
