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.
You 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 CD-
ROM 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 auto-
matically 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 mes-
sage 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 water-
resistant watch withstands pressure to 172
p.s.i. (equals immersion to 330 feet or 100
meters below sea level). A 50 m water-
resistant 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.

tion of your watch or its software, please
