Watch Features
Time of Day
•Displays hours,minutes and seconds in 12- or 24-hour
format for two time zones.
•Displays month and date,as well as day of the week.
•Optional hourly chime.
Altimeter
•Reports altitude from -2296 to 29,520 feet (-700 to
9000 meters) with 10 ft or 5 m resolution.
•Displays current altitude as well as a graph of altitude
change over time.
•Displays accumulated total of all altitude gains,known
as “total ascent” or “climb”.
•Records highest altitude achieved.
•Selectable display units (meters or feet)

Chronograph
•Time events up to 24 hours with 1/100-second
resolution.
•Store up to 30 lap/split times.
•View stored lap times as well as best (shortest) lap
time,average lap time and total event time.
Count Down Timer
•Time events up to 24 hours.An alert is generated
when the timer reaches zero.
•Timer can be set to count down to zero once or to
repeat the countdown indefinitely.
Alarm
•Five independent daily alarms,each with a five-minute
backup alert.
Barometer
•Reports air pressure from 8.85 to 32.45 inches of
Mercury (“inHg”) (300 to 1100 mbar) with 0.05 inHg
(1 mbar) resolution.
•Displays current air pressure as well as a graph of
change in air pressure over time.
•Both sea level and local (absolute) air pressure can be
displayed.
• Forecasts the weather for the next 4–6 hour period.
•Selectable display units (inHG or mbar)
Thermometer
•Selectable display units (°F or °C)
•Reports current air temperature from 14 to 140 °F
(-10 to 60 °C).

TIMER - The Countdown Timer is useful for timing
fixed-time events
ALARM -Five daily alarms to keep you on time
TIP: Press and hold the MODE button for three seconds to
go directly to TIME mode from any other mode in the
watch.
Button Functions
The buttons on your watch are multi-functional, serving
two main purposes - enabling you to perform everyday
functions like checking the time and timing a workout,
and setting things like Time of Day or an Alarm.
Normal Operation
The buttons on your watch largely operate in the same
way from mode to mode and the primary functions for
them are printed on the case itself.This section describes
the typical functions of the buttons.
INDIGLO® Night-Light
Watch Modes
The features of this watch are grouped into modes that
are accessible by pressing and releasing the MODE button
– each depression of the MODE button takes you to the
next mode in the loop.The modes are arranged in the
following order:
TIME > BARO > ALTI > CHRO > TIMER > ALARM
TIME - Displays the time of day and date as well as
weather info
BARO - View air pressure,temperature & weather
information
ALTI - Presents altitude and temperature data
CHRO - Use the Chronograph for timing purposes

Setting Operation
When setting Time of Day,Alarms or the Countdown Timer
and so on, the button functions change from what is print-
ed on the case.
NOTE: These setting functions are the same in any mode
where you can set a value.
1. Press and hold the SET button. While you are holding
the button, “HOLD ADJUST” will appear on the display.
2. After a couple of seconds,the “HOLD” message will
disappear followed by a flashing value.
3. Change the flashing value by pressing either
START/SPLIT (to increase) or STOP/RESET
(to decrease). Press and hold the button to
increase/decrease the value quickly.
4. When the flashing value is set as intended, press
MODE to advance to the next value.1110

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each of the values you wish
to set.
TIP: If you accidentally skip past a setting, continue to
press and release the MODE button to move all the way
through the settings and back to the one that requires
adjustment.
6. When you are satisfied that everything is set as
intended, press the SET button to save your settings
and exit.

Notes on calibrating the Altimeter and Barometer
The watch relies on a sensitive electronic sensor to
measure the air pressure and temperature.This sensor
must be calibrated periodically to maintain the high degree
of accuracy you expect from the watch.
What is calibration?
“Calibration” is simply a technique to improve the accura-
cy of the pressure/temperature sensor,primarily by com-
pensating for local temperature and weather effects.The
watch employs two related methods of calibration, using
either sea level pressure or the local altitude as a refer-
ence,depending on the watch mode used for calibration.
How often should I calibrate?
Timex recommends that you calibrate the sensor prior to
any activity where you will be using the altimeter feature
Weather Forecasting
The watch can predict the weather for the upcoming 4 - 6
hour period based on the air pressure trend information for
the previous twelve hours.The weather forecast is indicated
at the top of the watch display by a series of symbols.
Generally,if the air pressure is rising, the weather situation is
considered to be improving and is indicated by the presence
of the sun symbol. If the air pressure trend is falling, then the
weather situation is worsening and is indicated by showing
the clouds and/or precipitation symbols.
The weather forecast is always visible in TIME and BARO
modes and visible in ALTI mode when no altitude changes
are detected.
