GENERAL OPERATION
Watch is shipped with guard around crown. Remove guard and push crown in to start.
Compass must be calibrated before using. Go to www.timex.com/compass for help.
Watch incorporates magnetic sensor technology of Precision Navigation, Inc., Mountain View, CA.
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 to correct time. 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.
COMPASS CALIBRATION
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 TVs or
PCs, which could affect the magnetic field around the watch. If compass is calibrated near
such objects, it will only work properly in that same location. If compass is calibrated away
from such objects, it will not work properly near them. For best results, calibrate in area of
intended use.
In calibrating and taking headings, it is important, as with all compasses, to keep compass
level. Calibrating or taking a heading when watch is not level can result in large errors. Also
avoid areas that may exhibit higher than normal concentrations of hard and soft iron, as they
may cause inaccurate headings. Whenever a heading is suspect, recalibrate.
Do not store watch near any source of magnetism, such as computers, appliances, or TVs, as
watch can take on a magnetic charge, yielding inaccurate headings.
COMPASS HAND ADJUSTMENT
Pull CROWN all the way out. Compass hand should point to 12 o’clock. If it does not, press
either PUSH BUTTON to move compass hand until it points to 12 o’clock. Hold PUSH BUTTON to
move hand fast. Push CROWN in when done and recalibrate compass.
