HOW TO START YOUR WATCH
(Does not apply to Perpetual Calendar models.) To start
your watch remove the plastic guard from under the
crown, then press the crown in against the case.
Some watches require the setting crown to be screwed
in. If your watch case has a protrusion with screw
threads, the crown must be screwed in after setting the
watch.
To screw in, push the crown firmly against the threaded
protrusion and hold in while turning the crown clockwise.
Continue to screw in the crown until it is tight. You will
need to unscrew the crown (counter-clockwise) before
pulling it out the next time you want to set your watch.
Welcome to the world of Timex®watches with
Intelligent Quartz™ technology, the future of quartz
analogue technology. Intelligent Quartz technology
brings the power of a micro-processor to the reliability
and accuracy of quartz analogue timekeeping. With Timex
Intelligent Quartz watches, the technology is written into
the design, delivering a new level of dial complication.
Uses up to three additional independent hands to display
an array of information, normally only available in digital
watches, in a traditional analogue format.

NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS UNDER WATER UNLESS
YOUR WATCH IS INDICATED AS 200 METER WATER-
RESISTANT. NEVER PULL OUT THE CROWN WHILE
UNDER WATER.
1. Watch is water-resistant only as long as crystal, crown
and case remain intact.
2. Watch is not a certified Diver’s watch.
3. Rinse watch with fresh water after exposure to salt
water.
4. Shock-resistance will be indicated on the watch face
or caseback. Watches are designed to pass ISO test for
shock-resistance. However, care should be taken to
avoid damaging the crystal.

To view the offset, pull the crown to its middle position.
The date hand shows the offset: 1 = 1 year after leap
year; 2 = 2 years after leap year; 3 = 3 years after leap
year; 4 = leap year. Push the crown in when done and
the hands resume their normal display of day, month,
and date.
INTRODUCTION
With your watch’s perpetual calendar feature, the
date does not need adjustment until 2100. The watch
automatically accounts for short months and leap years,
always showing the correct day and date. The day and date
were preset at the Timex factory. You only need to adjust
the time. The watch has two recessed push buttons for
use by Timex Service Center to set the day and date after
battery replacement. They have no use otherwise.
LEAP YEAR OFFSET
To maintain the correct date, the watch includes a setting
for the current leap year offset. This setting is made at the
Timex factory or after battery replacement and cannot be
changed, only viewed.

4TH CENTER HAND ADJUSTMENT
To readjust a misaligned 4th center hand:
1. Pull the crown to its outer position. The upper and
lower hands reset to the ends of their sweeps
automatically.
2. 4th center hand should point to 12 o’clock. If within
5 seconds of pulling the crown to its outer position the
4th center hand does not point to 12 o’clock, press
Button A or B to move the hand counterclockwise or
clockwise until it points to 12 o’clock.
3. Push crown to closed position when finished.
