Welcome to the world of Timex® watches with Intelligent Quartz™ technology, the future of quartz analogue technology. Intelligent Quartz technology brings the power of a microprocessor to the reliability and accuracy of quartz analogue timekeeping. With Timex Intelligent Quartz watches, the technology is written into the design, delivering a new level of dial complication. Uses up to three additional independent hands to display an array of information, normally only available in digital watches, in a traditional analogue format.
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.
Water-Resistance Depth | p.s.i.a.* Water Pressure Below Surface |

hand will begin moving.
NOTE : For months with fewer than 31 days, the date will need to be
adjusted.
PERPETUAL CALENDAR
OVERVIEW
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
OVERVIEW
4TH CENTER HAND ADJUSTMENT: To readjust a misaligned 4th center hand:
- Pull the crown to its outer position. The upper and lower hands reset to the ends of their sweeps automatically.
- 4th center hand should point to noon. If within 5 seconds of pulling the crown to its outer position the 4th center hand does not point to 12 o’clock, press Button A or B to move the hand counterclockwise or clockwise until it points to 12 o’clock.
- Push crown to closed position when finished.
SECOND TIME ZONE
The upper hand shows the time for the second time zone. Note that the scale is
24-hours, with midnight at either end and noon in the middle. Most often, time
zones differ in hour increments. In such cases, the minute value 1 2 of the
second time zone will be the same as that displayed by the watch hand.
TO SET THE SECOND TIME ZONE:
- Pull crown to its middle position. The upper hand shows the second time zone time and the 4th center hand shows the minutes.
- Assuming that the second time zone time has the same minutes value as the first time zone, the 4th center hand should be aligned with the minute hand. If the hands are not aligned, or if your second time zone is a different minute within the hour, press
- Button B to move the 4th center hand forward until it is in the desired position.
- Press Button A to move the upper hand forward in one-hour increments until it reaches desired second time zone hour. To move the hand quickly, press and hold Button A.
- Push the crown in when finished.
FLY-BACK CHRONOGRAPH
The watch provides a 4-hour fly-back chronograph.
- To start, press Button A (START/STOP). The 4th center hand shows the seconds with 1/5 second resolution. The lower hand shows the last digit of the minutes, counting up to ten and repeating. The upper hand shows the total time, including hours and minutes, with divisions every ten minutes. The chronograph counts up to four hours before stopping automatically.
- To stop, press Button A (START/STOP) again. All hands stop moving.
- To resume, press Button A (START/STOP) again.
- 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.
- To reset and/or restart the fly-back chronograph while it is running, press and hold Button B (FLY-BACK/RESET). Release it when you wish to restart.
FLY-BACK CHRONOGRAPH COMPASS
OVERVIEW
I NDICATOR HAND (4TH CENTER HAND) ADJUSTMENT: To readjust a misaligned indicator hand:
- Pull the crown to its outer position. The upper and lower hands reset to the ends of their sweeps automatically.
- The 4th center hand should point to 12 o’clock. If it does not within 5 seconds of pulling the crown to its outer position, press A or B to move the hand counterclockwise or clockwise, respectively, until it points to 12 o’clock.
- Push the crown in when done.
SECOND TIME ZONE
The upper hand normally shows the time for the second time zone. Note that the
scale is 24 hours, with midnight at either end and noon in the middle. To set
the second time zone time:
- Pull the crown to its middle position. The upper hand shows the second time zone time in military hours and the 4th center hand shows the minutes.
- Press B to move the 4th center hand forward. Hold the button to move the hand quickly. The upper and 4th center hands move together; as the 4th center hand makes one revolution, the upper hand moves one hour. Assuming that the second time zone time has the same minutes value as your first time zone, the 4th center and minute hands should be aligned.
- Press A to move the upper hand forward in one-hour increments. Hold the button to move the hand quickly.
- Push the crown in when finished.The second time zone time can alternatively be used to display your home time on a 24-hour format, if you prefer. When setting the second time in this manner, ensure that the hour/minute display corresponds to the 24-hour display by verifying that the date changes at midnight, not noon.
FLY-BACK CHRONOGRAPH: The watch provides a 4-hour fly-back chronograph.
To start, press A (START/STOP). The 4th center hand shows the seconds with
1/5-second resolution and the lower hand shows
the last digit of the minutes, counting up to ten and repeating. The upper
hand shows the total time, including 2 ing hours and minutes, with divisions
every ten minutes. The chronograph counts up to four hours before stopping
automatically.
- To stop, press A again (START/STOP). All hands freeze.
- To resume, press A (START/STOP) again, or to reset the chronograph to zero, press B (FLY-BACK/RESET). When the chronograph is reset, all hands move to zero. After eight seconds, the watch resumes the normal display of the second time zone time.
- 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.
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. thecompass 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 higherthan 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:
- Pull the crown to its middle position and wait for the indicator hands to stop moving.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Push the crown in when done.
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 areavailable
through buttons A (START/STOP) and B (FLY-BACK/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.
LINEAR CHRONOGRAPH
OVERVIEW
LINEAR AND 4TH CENTER HAND ADJUSTMENT:
To readjust a misaligned 4th center hand:
- Pull the crown to its outer position. The lower hand resets to the end of its sweep automatically.
- 4th center hand should point to 12 o’clock. If within 5 seconds of pulling the crown to its outer position the 4th center hand does not point to 12 o’clock, press Button A to move the hand clockwise until it points to 12 o’clock.
- If the chronograph has been reset and the linear hand is not pointing to zero, press and hold Button B for
- seconds to engage a full calibration of the linear indicator, which will take up to 32 seconds to perform.
Push crown to a closed position when finished.
SECOND TIME ZONE
The lower hand shows the time for the second time zone. Note that the scale is
24 hours, with 1 2 3 midnight at either end and noon in the middle. Most
often, time zones differ in hour increments. In such cases, the minute value
of the second time zone will be the same as that displayed by the watch’s
minute hand.
TO SET THE SECOND TIME ZONE:
- Pull the crown to its middle position. The lower hand shows the second time zone time and the 4th center hand shows the minutes.
- Assuming that the second time zone time has the same minute value as the first time zone, the 4th center hand should be aligned with the minute hand. If the hands are not aligned, or if your second time zone is a different minute within the hour, press Button B to move the 4th center hand forward until it is in the desired position.
- Press Button A to move the lower hand forward in one-hour increments until it reaches desired second time zone hour. To move the hand quickly, press and hold Button A.
- Push the crown in when finished.
LINEAR CHRONOGRAPH
The watch provides a 4-hour split chronograph.
- To start, press Button A (START/STOP). The 4th center hand shows the seconds with 1/5 second resolution. The linear hand shows the minutes, counting up to thirty and repeating. The lower hand shows the total time, including hours and minutes, with divisions every ten minutes. The chronograph counts up to four hours before stopping automatically.
- To stop, press Button A (START/STOP) again. All hands stop moving.
- To reset the chronograph to zero position, press But-ton 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 chronograph continues to run. Press Button B (SPLIT/RESET) again to resume the display of the running chronograph elapsed time.
WORLD TIME
OVERVIEW
** TO SET THE WORLD TIME:**
- Pull the crown to its middle position. The center hand shows the world time zone city and the upper hand shows the time in that city.
- Press A or B to move the center hand to the city that represents your home time zone. Hold a button to move the hand quickly. Any city may be used.
- Pull the crown to its outer position. The city selector hand will revert back to the 12:00 position as indicated in INDICATOR HAND ADJUSTMENT. After a five second pause, the upper hand will show the world time (the time in the city selected in previous step), the center hand shows the minutes of the world time, and the lower hand shows the season (see SEASON SETTING). IMPORTANT: Do not manipulate any of the pushers or the crown until the center hand has completed its adjustment. (Approximately 10 seconds after crown is pulled to its outer position).
- If the displayed season is not correct for the home time zone, press C to change it. If the home time zone observes daylight savings time, the upper hand will move by one hour.
- Press A or B to move the time backward or forward, respectively, to set the world time zone to be the same as the home time zone. Hold a button to change the time quickly. The hands move together; as the center hand makes one revolution, the upper hand moves one hour. After setting, the center and minute hands should be aligned.
- Push the crown in when finished.
INDICATOR HAND (4TH CENTER HAND) ADJUSTMENT
To readjust a misaligned indicator hand:
- Pull the crown to its outer position. The upper and lower hands reset to the ends of their sweeps, automatically.

- Push the crown in when finished.
- NOTE: If no button is pressed for five seconds after the hands stop, the watch proceeds to the world time setting operation (see WORLD TIME SETTING).
CITY TIME DISPLAY
Press A or B to move the center hand backward or forward, respec- 1 2 3
tively, and select a city. The upper hand moves to show the time in the
selected city. Note that the scale is 24 hours, with midnight at either end
and noon in the middle.
SEASON SETTING
The season setting allows the watch to compensate for daylight savings time
(also called “summer time”). The watch provides one setting to represent the
two periods all cities that observe daylight savings time have. For the watch,
the period of daylight savings time is SUMMER and the period of standard time
is WINTER.
When the season in one city is set to SUMMER, all cities in the same
hemisphere are automatically set to SUMMER, while all cities in the other
hemisphere are automatically set to WINTER. The watch knows which cities are
in each hemisphere.
Press C to change the season in the selected city.
COMPASS
OVERVIEW
COMPASS HAND ADJUSTMENT
Pull CROWN all the way out. The compass hand should point to noon. If it does
not, press either A or B to move the compass hand until it points to 12

TIDE TEMP AND COMPASS
OVERVIEW
INDICATOR HAND ADJUSTMENT
Pull the crown all the way out. The indicator hand should point to 12 o’clock.
If it does not, press either the TIDE or TEMP push button to move the hand
until it points to 12 o’clock. TIDE and TEMP push buttons move hand clockwise
and counterclockwise, respectively. Hold the push button to move hand fast.
Push crown in when done.
TIDE/TEMPERATURE SELECTION
The indicator hand shows either tide or temperature constantly. When the
temperature is shown, press TIDE push button to select tide clock. The hand
moves to low tide and then to current tide. When tide is shown, press TEMP
push button to select the thermometer. Hand moves to begin of the thermometer
scale and then to current temperature.
THERMOMETER
When worn on wrist, thermometer reading is affected by body heat. For more
accurate readings, remove watch and put in the shade for at least several
minutes. Watch can measure water temperature also, if sub-merged. Be sure to
select the temperature display before placing watch in water, as buttons
should not be pressed when watch is underwater. Thermometer readings are taken
every minute, more frequently, if temperature changes.
TIDE CLOCK
For tide clock, indicator hand always rotates clockwise, so tide is rising
when hand is pointing left and falling when pointing right. Number of hours to
next high/low tide is shown on tide scale.Tides are influenced by sun position
and shape of shore-line, so tide clock cannot precisely give times of high and
low tides. Periodic adjustment may be necessary. To set tide clock, pull crown
to the MIDDLE position. Press either TIDE or TEMP push button to move hand to
current tide. TIDE and TEMP push buttons move hand clockwise and counter-
clockwise, respectively. Push crown in when done.

ALTIMETER: OVERVIEW
INDICATOR HAND (4TH CENTER HAND) ADJUSTMENT
Pull crown all the way out. The upper and lower retro-grade hands reset to the
start of their scales automatically. The 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 clockwise
and counterclockwise, 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:
- Pull the crown to its middle position and wait for the indicator hands to stop moving.
- 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, other-wise 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.
- Press A or B to move the 4th center hand counter-clockwise 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.
- Push the crown in when done.
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 60 minutes after activation.
ALTIMETER MIN/MAX ALTITUDE RECALL
To view the maximum recorded altitude, press A. The lower retrograde hand
shows the unit of measure that the maximum altitude was recorded in if the
altimeter was OFF at the moment of a button press, otherwise it will show the
maximum altitude using the currently 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 retrograde 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 currently 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.
DEPTH: OVERVIEW Note : The center and lower hands will automatically calibrate when you move the crown to position 3 to set the time.
TEMPERATURE
The temperature sensor is always on and will take a reading at least once
every 60 seconds. The temperature is indicated by the lower hand and
accompanying scale. When worn on wrist, temperature reading is affected by
body heat. For more accurate readings, remove watch from wrist.
DEPTH SENSOR ON/OFF
The sensor is normally off, and must be turned on manually prior to
submersion. Push and release button B to turn the sensor on. The 4th center
hand will move from the OFF (6 o’clock) position to the 12 o’clock position
and begin to take readings at least once every 5 seconds. As the depth
increases, the 4th center hand will point to the actual depth as indicated on
the depth scale. If the readings remain in the range of 0 to 2 meters (0-6
feet)for 5 minutes, the sensor will automatically turn off. To turn the sensor
off manually, press and hold button B for 2 seconds. The 4th center hand will
move to the OFF (6 o’clock) position.
RECALL MAXIMUM DEPTH/MINIMUM TEMPERATURE
After coming to the surface, unscrew the crown and pull it to the middle
position. The center and lower hands will move to display the maximum depth
value and the minimum temperature value, respectively, recorded dur-ing the
most recent descent. When the depth sensor is activated again, the memory will
be cleared.
If the watch has not yet been used, then the center and lower hands shall move
to display 0 meters/feet and
0ºC/32 ºF, respectively. The crown must be screwed back in prior to
use/submersion.
BATTERY LEVEL DETECTION
The watch determines the battery level status and provides the user with a
visual indication corresponding to the current battery level. The battery
level status is classified as Normal Level, Battery Low Level, and Replace
Battery Level, with each level indicated by the movement of the second hand.
For the Normal Level status, the second hand shall move one hand position
every one second, which is its normal operation. When the watch is in Battery
Low Level status, the second hand shall only move at 2-second intervals and
shall move by two hand positions. It is recommended that the user replace the
battery when the watch is at Battery Low Level status. When the watch is in
Replace Battery Level status, the second hand shall only move at 5-second
intervals and shall move by five hand positions. At this point, depth sensor
cannot be activated, and the user must replace the battery immediately.

PERFECT DATE
With your watch’s Perfect Date™ feature, the date does not need adjustment until 2060. The watch automatically accounts for short months and leap years, and will always display the correct date upon demand. The date was preset at the Timex factory. When initially starting your new watch, if the date displays the date before or behind the date in your location, you will need to revise the date for your local date. Pull the crown out to the outer posi- tion. The 4th center hand will rotate around the dial one revolution, will stop at 12:00 o’clock position for about 5 seconds and then move to the date at which the watch is currently set. Rotate the crown forward to increase the time to the current date (backward to decrease the time to the current date). Each time you pass midnight the date will change by one day. After you have set the date to your local date, continue rotating the crown to position the hands to the current local time, being mindful of am/pm. Once the time is set, push the crown back in to the closed position. In normal operation the 4th center hand will display the date when the crown is pushed. The hand will travel to the position of the current date as shown on the top ring of the case. The hand will pause for you to be able to read the date and then return back to the 12 o’clock resting position. Please note that the Perfect Date™ function will only operate in the Time mode. When the battery is depleted and is replaced, the Perfect Date function must be recalibrated. When the battery requires replacement, it is highly recommended the watch be sent to a Timex service center, where the battery will be replaced and the Perfect Date function will be recalibrated to the current date for the location where the watch is to be returned.

pressing button C will advance you through the cycle of hand engagement as
follows: Upper hand (press button C) – Lower hand (press button C) – 4th
Center hand (press button C) back to Upper hand….this allows you to advance
through the cycle to engage the hands you need to adjust to achieve setting
the desired length of time to count down. Pressing the crown in will end the
setting procedure and confirms the values set so far at any point in this
cycle.
SETTING THE COUNTDOWN TIMER
The countdown timer may only be set when the count-down timer function is not
in operation. If the countdown timer was previously used, it will need to be
reset. If the timer is currently in operation, it must be stopped and reset in
order to set the countdown timer.
- Press button C until the upper hand is at some point on the Timer scale. If the Timer has previously been set, the hand will point to the time previously set. If this is the first time the timer is being set, it will point to the 0 on the timer scale.
- Pull the crown out to the middle position.
- To set the desired number of hours in half hour increments (up to the maximum time of 4:00:00), press button A to move the upper hand counterclockwise (pressing button B will move this hand clockwise), until the desired number of hours has been selected. Please note that you are selecting the number of hours in the closest half-hour increment to the total desired time (example: for a total desired countdown time of 2:53:30, you will select 3 hours). Once you have completed setting the number of hours, press button C to confirm your selection.
- Now you may set the desired number of minutes in one-minute increments by pressing button A to move the lower hand counterclockwise (pressing button B will move this hand clockwise), until the desired number of minutes has been selected. Please note that you are adjusting the number minutes forward or backward to get to the desired time (example: for a total desired countdown time of 2:53:30, you will press button A seven times which will move the total countdown time from 3 hours to 2:53:00). You will no-tice the hour hand will move slightly backward from the 3 hour marker towards the 2.5 hour marker. Once you have adjusted the time to the correct number of minutes, press button C to confirm your selection.
- Now you may set the desired number of seconds in one-second increments by pressing button A to movethe fourth hand counterclockwise (pressing button B will move this hand clockwise), until the desired num-ber of seconds has been selected. Please note that you are adding or subtracting the number seconds to complete the total desired time (example: for a total desired countdown time of 2:53:30, you will push button B 30 times to select 30 seconds). Once you have completed setting the number of seconds, push the crown into position 1 to confirm your complete countdown timer value selection.
COUNTDOWN TIMER OPERATION
Once you have set the countdown timer to the desired length of time to count
down, you can now operate the countdown timer.
Starting the countdown sequence : Press button A to start the countdown
timer. The fourth center hand and the lower hand will begin to move
counterclockwise. The upper hand will move clockwise. The hands will continue
to indicate the remaining time left in the countdown sequence until the length
of time you have set the count-down timer has passed and the value of
remaining time reaches zero. When the remaining time in the sequence reaches
zero, the chime will sound signaling to you the countdown sequence has been
completed.
Interrupting the countdown sequence :
If you wish to stop the countdown sequence prior to the sequence reaching zero, you may do so by pressing button A (the fourth center hand as well as the upper and lower hands will stop moving). If you wish to later begin the sequence from the point at which you stopped the countdown, sim-ply press button A again (the fourth center hand as well as the upper and lower hands will resume moving). Resetting the countdown sequence: Once the count-down sequence has reached zero and the chime has sounded, you may reset the countdown timer to the set value by pressing button B (the fourth center hand, as well as the upper and lower hands, will move to indicate the value of time you set prior to using the countdown timer function).
Clearing the countdown timer value :
If desired, you may clear the value of the countdown timer to zero. This can only be done if the countdown timer is not in operation and has been reset. If the countdown timer is running, you must first stop the countdown sequence by pressing button A, followed by pressing button B. This will stop and reset the countdown timer to the currently selected time value. To clear the countdown timer value to zero, push and hold button B for two seconds. You should now follow the instructions to set the countdown timer value to the new desired length of time.
Split time function:
While the countdown timer is in operation, you may employ the split function to note the remaining time in the countdown sequence. To use the split time function, press button B, which will make the upper, lower and 4th center hands freeze in place. The countdown function will continue to operate internally while the hands are frozen. To resume the movement of the upper, lower and 4th center hands, press button B again and the hands will reposition themselves in proper placement to show the current time within the countdown sequence.
3GMT
3 TIME ZONE FUNCTION
Your watch can display three time zones:
- Hour and Minute hands: Displays the time in a standard 12 hour format. Please note: The date displayed in the date window is linked to the time displayed by these two hands.
- 4th center hand and inner ring: Displays the time in a 24-hour format.
- 4th center hand and case rotating top ring: Displays the time in a 24-hour format.
4TH CENTER HAND ADJUSTMENT
To readjust a misaligned 4th center hand:
- Pull the crown out to position 3.
- 4th center hand should point to 12 o’clock. If within 5 seconds of pulling the crown to position 3 the 4th center hand does not point to 12 o’clock, press button A to move the hand clockwise until it points to 12 o’clock. Pressing and holding button A will make the hand move at a fast rate.
- Push crown into position 1 when finished.
4TH CENTER HAND CALIBRATION
The 4th center hand is calibrated at the Timex factory to reflect the standard
minutes within the hour as defined by Universal Time Coordinated. Globally a
majority of locations use the standard minutes. If the location you are using
for the 2nd and 3rd time zone uses the standard minutes, the 4th center hand
does not require recalibration. Only if you wish to have the second and third
time zones to reflect locations that do not follow the standard minute, the
instructions to recalibrate the 4th center hand are as follows:
- Pull the crown out to position 3. The 4th center hand will point to 12 o’clock.
- Rotate the crown to position the minute hand in the correct position within the hour required for the location you wish to use for the 2nd and 3rd time zones.
- Push the crown into position 2. The 4th center hand will point to its currently calibrated position of the minutes within the hour.
- Push button A to move the 4th center hand clockwise until it aligns with the minute hand. Pressing and holding button A will make the hand move at a fast rate.
- Pull the crown out to position 3. The 4th center hand will point to 12 o’clock.
- Rotate the crown to position hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Push crown into position 1 when finished. Please note: The 4th center hand will track the time using the current calibration of the minutes within the hour. Time zones 2 and 3 both utilize the 4th center hand and therefore the locations being tracked in time zones 2 and 3 must both utilize the same minutes within the hour for these time zones to be displayed properly.
SETTING THE 4TH CENTER HAND (TIME ZONE II )
Note the current time in the location you wish to track as the 2nd time zone. Press button A until the 4th center hand is pointing to that time on the inner ring. (Please note: this scale is a 24-hour format). The 4th center hand will advance 30 minutes each time button A is pressed. Pressing and holding button A will make the hand move at a fast rate. This will set the 2nd time zone on the watch.
SETTING THE CASE ROTATING TOP RING (TIME ZONE III)
The 3rd time zone is set by using the existing setting of the 4th center hand
and adjusting the case rotating top ring to the desired time of the 3rd time
zone. (Please note: this scale is a 24-hour format). The top ring has 72
positions. To advance the top ring one hour you will advance it three
positions (3 “clicks”). Note the current time in the location you wish to
track as the 3rd time zone. Rotate the case top ring counterclockwise to
position the correct hour marker for that time with the 4th center hand.
TACHYMETER FUNCTION
(not all models)
The tachymeter will only determine speeds greater than 60 units per hour using
this method; slower speeds can be measured by decreasing the unit of
measurement. The function performed by a tachymeter is independent of the unit
of distance (e.g. statute miles, nautical miles, kilometers, meters etc.) as
long as the same unit of length is used for all calculations.
- Determine the start and finish markers for your pre-determined distance.
- Start the chronograph once the target for speed measurement passes the start marker.
- Stop the chronograph once the target for speed measurement passes the finish marker.
- The chronograph second hand is compared to the tachymeter markings to determine the target’s speed.
SLIDE-RULE BEZEL FUNCTION
The slide rule function of the top ring operates by rotating the outer ring. The inner ring does not move. The outer ring is always related to “distance” or “speed”, or any data that varies with time. The inner ring only notes units of time.
Outer Ring
On the outer ring, the figure “10” represents factors or multiples of 10, such
as 0.1, 1.0, 10, or 100.
Inner Ring
On the inner ring, “MPH” (mile per hour) refers to “speed in-dex”. This
index is used to calculate the speed involving any data per hour. On the inner
ring, “STAT” (statute miles) and “NAUT” (nautical miles) are for conversion of
distance units.
The following examples serve as a guide of how to use the slide rule.
SPEED CALCULATION:
What speed is required to go 10 nautical miles in 15 minutes?
Known Factors: Distance: 10 nautical miles Time: 15 minutes
- Align “10” arrow on the outer ring with “15” on the inner ring.
- The speed required can be found directly above the “MPH” marking on the inner ring.
The answer: 40 nautical miles per hour Time Calculation: How long will it take
to go 10 nautical miles at a speed of 40 miles per hour?
Known Factors: Speed : 40 miles per hour Distance: 10 nautical miles
- Align “40” on the outer ring with the mark “MPH” marking on the inner ring.
- The time required can be found directly below the “10” arrow on the outer ring, which is “15” on the inner ring.
The answer: 15 minutes DISTANCE CALCULATION: How far can you travel at 40
miles per hour for 15 minutes?
Known Factors: Speed: 40 nautical miles per hour Time: 15 minutes
- Align “40” on the outer ring directly above the mark “MPH” on the inner ring.
- The distance traveled can be obtained above the “15” marker on the inner ring. The number indicated on the outer ring is “10”.
- The answer: The distance traveled is 10 nautical miles. UNIT CONVERSION: To convert distance from nautical miles to statute miles and kilometers. Known Factor: The distance to convert is 10 nautical miles
- Align the “10” arrow on the outer ring above the “NAUT” on the inner ring. The conversion in statute miles (11.5) is found above the inner ring “STAT” marking, and the conversion to kilometers (18.5) is found above the inner ring “MPH” marking.
