SETTING THEWATCH MANUALLY
Battery life is 3 years, with typical use.
Timex strongly recommends battery
replacement to be done by a jeweler.
For full battery details refer to the Watch
Help in the software.
A WristAppTM is a software
program that can be loaded
into yourTimex Data Link
watch. It gives the watch
additional function. (Several
are included).
TheTimex Data Link 150 watch
can store and run one
WristApp at a time.Choose
one to use, then send it to the
watch.
For descriptions of the
includedWristApp programs,
and directions on how to use
them,click on theWristApps
button, then select Help.
WristApps are different from
user data.Once aWristApp is
loaded into the watch it stays
there, permanently, until a
different WristApp is loaded.
TIP: Download your watch
faster: Download a WristApp
once, then un-check it (do not
send it again).
Each time you send data to the watch it
erases and replaces all previous data,so
you always know what is in the watch.
If you do not send a database (such as
Phone Numbers) to the watch, that Mode
will not appear on the watch.
Use your watch memory wisely!
Longer text fields use up more memory
than shorter ones. If you want the watch to
hold more entries,use as little text as
possible. If you want more text, put in
fewer entries.
Examples of what the watch will hold:
- 150 phone numbers if the names are 11
characters in length.
- 70 phone numbers if the names are 31
characters in length.
To scan quicker thru phone #'s on the
watch press and hold the Next or Previous
button. The watch will scroll the alphabet
forward or backward.
Appointments have a selectable Pre-
Alarm time of 0 - 30 minutes.Set it in
Appointments.
Refer to the Help Guides for details on
the following topics:
- Importing data from other software
- Moving data from one PC to another
If you want to use this software with a
different model Timex Data Link watch,
select the correct watch model underFile,
Advanced.
If several people want to use this
software on the same PC,simply install it
several times into different directories.
Each person will have their own copy.
Your watch came from the factory with
sample data and a WristApp program
installed. This special "Demo Mode" is, as
the name implies, for demo only. Once
you download a different WristApp into
your watch,Demo Mode is gone forever.
IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND!
