INTRODUCING YOUR WATCH
Congratulations on your purchase of the Timex®Ironman®Easy Trainer™GPS watch. As a serious road
runner, you’ll appreciate the accurate speed, pace, and other data the watch provides you. The watch’s GPS
technology finds satellites from almost anywhere in the world so you have the information you need to train
efficiently.
FEATURES
• GPS – Obtain fixes on satellites to provide workout data. Your speed, distance, and pace are determined
based on how your position changes relative to the satellites. Set the time zone using the GPS.

data for later review. Freely switch between Run, Chrono, and Interval Timer modes while the workout is
running.
• Chrono mode – Take splits during workouts, and save lap data for later review.
• Interval Timer mode – Program the timer to go through up to 5 timed segments and track up to 99 repeti-
tions of the sequence.
• Workout review – Save to memory for review when the workout is reset. Store more than 20 hours of
workout data. View all data tracked for the entire workout, as well as data for individual laps.
• Hands-free auto-lap – Automatically take a split when you reach one of 6 selectable distances.
• Alarm – Set up to 5 alarms that will sound at your specified time each day.
• Indiglo®night-light with Night-Mode®feature – Press a button to light the watch face for 10 seconds.

daylight saving (ON or OFF), time format (12- or 24-hour), and date format (month-day or day-month).
NOTE: The GMT offset is the number of hours difference between your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time.
Each GMT offset is listed with the abbreviated name of a major city in that time zone (for example, London is
displayed as LON). If you do not know your GMT offset, find your city or a nearby one in Time Zones.
1. Press MODE until SET displays.
2. Press - or + to select TIME, then press OK.
3. Press + or - to select the time zone to set (TIME 1 or TIME 2), then press OK.
4. Press + or - to select AUTO (to allow the GPS to set the time), then press OK.
5. Press + or - to select your time zone, then press OK.
6. Repeat step 5 for DST (daylight saving), time format, and date format.
7. Press MODE to exit.
NOTE: You can also set the time manually, preventing the GPS from setting the time. See Setting the Time
Manually for more information.
SETTING DISPLAY UNITS

2. Press + or - to select USER, then press OK.
3. Press + or - to select gender, then press OK.
4. Repeat step 3 for age, weight, and height.
5. Press MODE to exit.
TURNING ON THE GPS
Before you can use the watch to collect speed, pace, and distance data, you must turn on the GPS and ac-
quire a satellite fix.
1. Take the watch outside and away from buildings and tall trees.
2. Make sure the watch is facing the sky; do not block the GPS antenna in the bottom part of the watch face.
3. Stand still.

The icon flashes when the GPS is searching for satellites. It turns solid when the fix is achieved,
and more “bars” in the icon indicate a stronger fix.
NOTE: Heavy cloud cover or rain may make it difficult to acquire a satellite fix.
USING RUN MODE
Use Run mode when you need to be able to view speed, distance, pace, or calorie data while a workout is
in progress. You might want to view this data to help you build endurance at a specific speed, or to focus on
completing a 5k race within a particular goal time. You cannot view data for your current lap from Run mode.
Run mode and Chrono mode share the timer, so you can switch freely between the two modes while the
workout is running by pressing MODE. Switch to Chrono mode if you want to view lap data.
NOTE: You can take splits in Run mode, but you can view individual lap data only in Chrono mode.
When the workout is running, several types of information about the workout are displayed:
• Workout time • Speed
• Distance • Calories burned
• Pace • Current time
NOTE: For the most accurate speed, distance, and pace calculations, use the watch in clear weather.
STARTING, STOPPING, AND SAVING A WORKOUT
STARTING A WORKOUT
1. Press MODE until RUN displays.
2. Press + or - to select GPS (to use the GPS to record workout data) or INDOOR (to record time data only),
then press OK.
A battery life message appears. Press OK to acknowledge it. If the battery life is too low, charge the watch
as described in Charging the Watch.
A memory remaining message appears. Press OK to acknowledge it. If there is not enough estimated
memory remaining to record your intended workout, delete some workouts to free memory space as
described in Deleting Workouts.
3. Press START.
CHANGING THE DISPLAY VIEW
While a workout is in progress, you can cycle through several view screens that each display different data
about your workout.
There are four displays in Run mode. All of the displays show the elapsed time and the total distance traveled,
but data in the third line of the display is different for each. The first shows current pace, the second shows
current speed, the third shows calories burned, and the fourth shows the primary time zone.
Use the displays to know how to change your workout to achieve your goals. For example, if your pace is too
fast, you may get tired before your run is complete. Slow down to make your time goal and still finish the run.
• Press VIEW to cycle through the display views.

STOPPING A WORKOUT
1. While the workout is running, press STOP to pause.
2. If the workout is paused, but has not been reset, press START to resume.
SAVING AND RESETTING A WORKOUT
When you reset a workout, the workout data is saved in memory so you can review it later.
1. While the workout is paused, hold SAVE to save the workout and reset.
All collected data is saved. See Reviewing Workouts for instructions on viewing saved data.
TAKING SPLITS
WHAT ARE LAP AND SPLIT TIMES?
Lap time is the length of an individual segment of your workout. Split time is the time elapsed from the
beginning of your workout through the current segment.
When you “take a split”, you have completed timing one segment (such as one lap) and are now timing the
next segment.
The graph below represents the lap and split times for a workout in which 4 laps were taken.
LAP 1
7:11 MIN 7:50 MIN
15:01 MIN
SPLIT 2
SPLIT 3
SPLIT 4
7:08 MIN
22:09 MIN
7:30 MIN
29:39 MIN
7:11 MIN
SPLIT 1
LAP 2 LAP 3 LAP 4
TAKING A SPLIT
• While the timer is running, press SPLIT to take a split.
The lap and split time for the lap you completed is displayed, and the watch begins timing the new lap.
Individual lap data is saved when you save and reset the workout. See Viewing Workout Data for instructions
on viewing saved lap data.
You can press VIEW while in Chrono mode to view data for a lap in progress. See Changing the Display View
for instructions on changing Chrono mode display screens.
USING CHRONO MODE
Use Chrono mode when you need to be able to view time and distance data only for the lap in progress. For
example, you might use this data to measure consistency of times among 1-mile legs of the same run.
All data tracked in Run mode is still tracked when you are in Chrono mode, but the data you can view in
Chrono mode is more limited; you can only view data about the current lap in Chrono mode.
Chrono mode and Run mode share the elapsed time clock, and you can press MODE to switch between the
two modes. Switch to Run mode if you want to view speed, distance, pace, or calorie data for the entire
workout.
NOTE: For the most accurate speed, distance, and pace calculations, use the watch in clear weather.

NOTE: If the display does not show SEG-1 and its full time, hold STOP to reset the Interval Timer to its original
settings.
NOTE: To review the settings, press STOP repeatedly to see each segment and its times.
2. Press START to begin the Interval Timer session. The first segment (SEG-1)begins counting down, as
displayed on the watch.
3. As each segment time runs out, the watch beeps and the next segment begins counting down.
4. When SEG-1 is reached again, the repetition (R) counter increments by 1 and continues until the Interval
Timer is stopped.
NOTE: If you want to capture Distance, Pace, Speed and/or Elapsed Time data during an Interval Timer
workout, you will need to see the section on Using Run Mode. Start the Run mode just before the Interval
Timer workout begins, and stop and save Run mode just after the Interval Timer workout ends.
