NIGHT-LIGHT
Some Timex watches feature the INDIGLO night-light. These watches
contain a patented electroluminescent technology (U.S. Patent
Numbers 4,527,096 and 4,775,964). The INDIGLO night-light
illuminates the entire watch face with a uniform bright light offering
superior readability at night and in all low light conditions. Simply press
the appropriate button to activate the light (button location may vary).
INDIGLO is a registered trademark of Indiglo Corporation in the U.S. and other countries.

SECTION 3 – HOW TO START YOUR WATCH
To start your watch, remove the plastic guard from under the crown.
Then push the crown in as far as it will go against the case and
release. If your watch has a second hand, it should now advance in
one-second intervals.
SECTION 4 – HOW TO SET THE TIME
If your watch is water-resistant, it will be indicated ( ) on the
watch face or on the caseback.
• 30 Meter Water-Resistant watch withstands water pressure to 60
p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 98 feet or 30 meters below sea level).
• 50 Meter Water-Resistant watch withstands water pressure to 86
p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 164 feet or 50 meters below sea level).
• 100 Meter Water-Resistant watch withstands water pressure to 160
p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 328 feet or 100 meters below sea
level).
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER-RESISTANCE, DO NOT PRESS ANY
BUTTONS OR PULL OUT THE CROWN UNDER WATER UNLESS
YOUR WATCH IS INDICATED AS 200 METER WATER-RESISTANT.
NOTES:
1. The watch is water-resistant only as long as crystal, crown and
case remain intact.
2. Even though the watch may be water-resistant to a significant depth
(100 or 200 meters), it is not a diver watch and should not be used
for diving.
3. CROWN MUST BE SCREWED INTO THE CASE PROTRUSION TO
ASSURE WATER-RESISTANCE (see Section 11).
4. Timex strongly recommends rinsing your watch with fresh water
after exposure to salt water.
SECTION 2 – WATER-RESISTANCE
Before setting the time, if your watch has a day of the week and date,
first set the day (see Section 5) then the date (see Section 6). Before
setting the time, if your watch has a date only, set the date first (see
Section 6).
Timex watches either have a 2-position or 3-position setting crown as
illustrated below.
