Channels
The information on your watch is organized by channel. Similar to the channels
on your television set, you see different types of content - such as news and
weather - when you switch channels on your watch. When you activate the MSN
Direct service, you select which channels to display on your watch. Each channel
appears on the watch screen with an icon and the name of the channel.
• To view the Time channel from anywhere on
your watch, press and hold Channel.
• To view the next channel on your watch,
press Channel again.
• To display the contents of the current
channel, release Channel.
Modes
Each channel has one or more modes. For example, the Time channel includes the
Face mode, the Chrono mode, the Alarm mode, the Timer mode, and the Settings
mode. The name of the current mode appears on the watch screen.
• To view the current mode, press Channel once.
• To view the next mode within that channel,
press Next.

Signal Coverage
The MSN Direct service is delivered over a wireless network that is based on
FM radio broadcast signals. Your watch indicates the strength of the broadcast
signal by displaying a signal strength icon at the top of the screen in Glance
mode, or in the Watch Info mode under the Settings mode (see “Changing Watch
Settings” later in this guide). Even at low signal strength, your watch should
receive information. Signal strength can vary based on your location. Sometimes
topography (hills, valleys), building structure, or nearby electronics can interfere
with the broadcast signal that your watch uses to receive information.
The network sends two types of information to your watch - broadcast and
personal. Broadcast information - such as news stories and current temperatures
- is sent to every watch with MSN Direct, but only the information that you want
to see is actually captured by your watch. Regardless of where you travel in North
America or Canada, as long as you are within an MSN Direct coverage area, you
should receive broadcast information.
Your personal information - such as your messages and calendar appointments -
is encrypted with a unique key to help maintain your privacy. You receive personal
information when you are within range of your home coverage area. Your home
coverage area is the metropolitan area where you live.
For more information about your home coverage area, including what to do when
you travel, go to the MSN Direct Web site at www.msndirect.com and click the
Help link.

Using the Time Channel
Your watch comes with three channels - Time, Messages, and Calendar - that
are available for use even before you activate the MSN Direct service. The Time
Channel is fully operational and ready to go. The Messages and Calendar channels
have limited capabilities until you activate and personalize MSN Direct. The
Messages channel is available for emergency and public service announcements,
and the Calendar channel includes a month view calendar. Once you activate MSN
Direct, you can receive messages from others, view personal appointments, and
view an events calendar for the things that interest you, such as sports schedules,
nancial events, and local cultural events. You can also subscribe to a number of
additional channels, such as news, weather, stocks, and sports.
This guide provides instructions for using the Time channel. For instructions on
using the other channels - including Messages and Calendar - go to the MSN
Direct Web site at www.msndirect.com and click the Help link.
Before you activate MSN Direct, you also see the Register channel on
your watch. This is a temporary channel that displays the information you need to
activate the service, including the MSN Direct Web site address and your watch
ID. The watch ID is a number that uniquely identies your watch so that you
receive your personal messages and information. The Register channel disappears
from your watch when you activate MSN Direct.

Receiving the Time
When your watch receives a broadcast signal, it should automatically receive
the correct time from an atomic clock. This happens even if you have not yet
activated the MSN Direct service. As long as your watch is receiving a signal,
you do not need to set the time. The time is accurate to a few thousands of a
second and automatically adjusts for daylight savings time and leap years. In
addition, your watch automatically changes to different time zones as you travel
from place to place.
When you turn the watch on, it may take a few minutes to receive the time
from an atomic clock.
If your watch is not receiving a signal, you can manually set the time. You can
also change the time display from a 12 hour clock to a 24 hour clock, and you
can override the automatic time zone setting. For details, see “Changing Watch
Settings” later in this guide.
Choosing a Watch Face
You can change the appearance of your watch to reect your personal style,
environment, or mood. To change the face that displays on your watch:
1. Press and hold Channel to go to the Time channel.
2. Wait for the current watch face to appear.
3. Press Previous or Next until you nd a watch face you want to display.
For some watch faces, you can press Enter to view the date and seconds.

About the Battery
Your WRIST NET™ watch is feature rich and has numerous functions. Because
of this, the watch uses more battery power and must be recharged periodically,
much like other devices such as cell phones or walkie-talkies.
Your watch should function fully for at least 2 days on a single charge. The
amount of time the battery lasts between charging sessions varies with a number
of factors, including which watch face you are using, which channel the watch
displays most of the time, the strength of the broadcast signal, and the amount of
information that you receive on the watch.
If you want to extend the battery life between charging sessions, follow these tips:
• Use a simple watch face. Simple watch faces, such as those with traditional
clock faces, take less battery power than elaborate watch faces, such as
those that use animation.
• Stay on the Time channel unless you are viewing content on another channel.
Some channels rotate new information through the screen continually, even
when you are not looking at them, which takes battery power.
• Turn the sound off.
• Turn the radio off. If you are outside of a reception area or not interested in
getting information, you can turn the radio off and the watch stops looking
for a broadcast signal. Remember to turn the radio back on.
• Turn the watch off. If you aren’t wearing the watch, you can turn it off. The
watch maintains your current information for a long time, but the watch
screen is blank and the watch receives no additional information.

When the watch battery is fully charged, it is at 100%. When the watch battery is
fully discharged, it is at 0%. Your watch is fully functional from 100% down to a
20% charge. The following table describes how the watch responds at different
battery charge levels.
Battery charge
remaining
Watch response
30% The low battery indicator ( ) appears.
20% A notication message appears. The watch goes into low battery mode.
The watch radio turns off and stops receiving new information. The watch
switches to the Time channel after 5 minutes. The watch face may switch
to one that uses less battery power.
10% The watch turns off and the screen is blank. The watch conserves the
contents of its memory.
If your watch has a remaining battery charge of 30% or less, you should charge the
watch as soon as possible. Charging the watch takes up to 6-8 hours.
To charge your watch:
1. Connect the power cord to the charger. Plug the power cord into an
electrical outlet.
2. Rotate the charger arm into the open position.
3. Be sure to close the watch clasp completely. This allows your watch to receive
your information.
4. Place your watch on the charger arm.
5. Make sure that the pushers on the watch match the diagram on the charger arm.
