LIMITED WARRANTY
The Basic Coverage: This TIMEX Combination Quartz Analog/Digital L.C.D. (liquid
crystal display) watch (but not any battery, crystal, band or strap) is warranted to the
owner for a period of ONE YEAR from the date of purchase against defects in
manufacture by Timex Corporation - not by the dealer from whom the watch was
purchased.
What Timex Will Do: If this watch develops such a defect within the one year period,
it will be repaired (i.e., a new or thoroughly reconditioned and inspected module will
be installed) or replaced ( a watch of equal value and similar appearance will be
supplied) at our option, provided it is returned with a $5.00 check or money order to
cover costs of postage, handling and service, and you provide proof of purchase and
date of purchase.
This Limited Warranty Does Not Cover:
1) Timex will not repair defects related to servicing not performed by Timex
Corporation.
2) Timex will not provide any warranty service if your watch shows evidence that it

•damage to the case; or
•visible cracking of the crystal.
3) Timex reserves the right to charge you for a replacement battery, if the battery in
your watch is depleted. No additional charge will be made unless the one year
warranty period has expired or servicing is necessary for reasons beyond our
control, in which case a moderate charge will be made.
4) TIMEX IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental,
special or consequen-tial damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not
apply to you.
Your Rights Under Implied Warranties and State Law: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS
IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESSED WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES.
TIMEX LIMITS THE DURATION OF ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY STATE LAW,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO ONE YEAR
FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. Some states do not allow limitations on
how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This
warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state.

• Avoid exposing your watch to water, steam, or other forms of moisture if it is non-

SECTION 14 – BATTERY REPLACEMENT
One battery provides the power to operate your Timex watch. TIMEX
STRONGLY RECOMMENDS TAKING YOUR WATCH TO A LOCAL RETAILER
OR JEWELER TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED. The battery type
required for your watch is indicated on the caseback.
IMPORTANT NOTE: After replacing the battery and before you close the
caseback, be sure to quickly press the reset button twice if indicated on the
battery clamp. If after you close the caseback and replace the battery, the
display does not go on, press all buttons simultaneously.
CAUTION: DO NOT DISPOSE OF OLD BATTERY IN FIRE OR ATTEMPT TO
RECHARGE. KEEP LOOSE BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
When installed at the factory, the battery life in this Timex watch is
estimated to last approximately 3.5 years. This estimate is based on the
alarm being used one time per day for ten seconds and the light being used
once per day for one second. Battery life may vary depending on your
actual usage experience. The use of NIGHT-MODE®, which causes the
INDIGLO®night-light to activate for three seconds with any button press,
may reduce battery life.

addressed as follows:
