Communication
To initiate communication between your watch and the Timex software in your PC, attach the
USB cable between the watch and PC. The software will automatically start up.
Connecting the USB Cable
Connect the USB cable to your watch as follows:
1. Insert the rectangular end of the cable into an open USB port on your PC.
2. Hook the bottom of the connector on the other end of the cable to the left side of the
watch below the contacts.
3. Pull the connector lever open and hook the upper end of the connector to the watch.
4. The software automatically reads the watch’s data.
When you have completed downloading information from the PC, remove the connector from
the watch by pulling the lock lever open and moving the connector toward the bottom of the
watch, then unplug the connector from your PC.
Communication Error
When the USB cable is connected to the watch and the Crown is in normal position, the display
contains the message COMM READY. If data are being received or transmitted by the watch,
the symbol on the display appears as shown:
If communication is interrupted, such as by removal of the USB cable, the watch may sound an
error melody and display the message COMM ERROR. If the watch cannot recover from the
error, it returns to Time of Day mode and reverts to its standard set of modes. Try reconnecting
the USB cable to try to reestablish communication and download again. If you are unable to get
the download to work, check with Timex Technical Support (see Technical Support).
