BASIC OPERATIONS

TIMEX Watch

A. Press MODE to cycle through DAILY ALARM, DAY ALARM, TIME ZONE, and CHRONOGRAPH modes.
B. Press INDIGLO to illuminate the watch face.
C. When setting, press and hold START/STOP or SPLIT/RESET to change digits rapidly.

TIME SYNCHRONIZATION

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the basis for the worldwide system of civil time. It is determined using highly precise atomic clocks at time laboratories around the world that are accurate to a billionth of a second per day. UTC time signals are broadcast via low-frequency signals. Your radio controlled Timex ®
watch synchronizes its time to the broadcast time signal. PLEASE NOTE: This product only works in North America. A. In TIME mode, press and hold SPLIT/RESET. The watch will attempt to synchronize time with the nearest time broadcast and the tower symbol will ﬂash in the display. This may take up to two minutes.
B. Watch automatically attempts synchronization at 1:00 am daily and 4:00 am Sunday local time.
C. Tower icon ( ) appears in the display if synchronization has been successful within 24 hours.
TIPS:
WARNING: Depending on your location, the watch may be unable to pick up the radio signal from Colorado. Synchronization may also not be successful if your watch is near a source of interference (e.g., computer monitor) or you are in a building with a metal roof. Cloudy or rainy weather conditions may interfere with radio signal transmission. If synchronization is unsuccessful, try the following:

Rotate watch 90 degrees.
Move to a wall or window facing toward Fort Collins, CO.
Move at least 2 meters away from any computer monitors.
Move outside. If it works outdoors but not indoors, you may have a local interference problem in your building.
If your watch is off by one or more hours: make sure you have properly selected your time zone (see below). If you are in an area that does not observe Daylight Savings Time (DST), be sure DST is disabled on your watch.
If your watch is off by a few minutes or seconds: make sure that your watch is currently receiving the signal (tower icon appears in the display).
If your watch did not adjust the time for DST, make sure that your watch is currently receiving the signal (the tower icon appears in the display).
QUICKSTART FEATURE: At any time, you can press and hold SPLIT/RESET to force the watch to attempt synchronization.
For further information on synchronization/interference issues, visit the U.S. government website: http://tf.nist.gov/stations/wwvb.htm.
