Timex Ironman Data Link USB User manual

Congratulations on your purchase of the
Timex®Ironman* Data Link®USB watch.
fIt’s a feature-rich Ironman sport watch.
fIt’s a PDA for your wrist.
This simple guide will get you started with
your new Timex Ironman Data Link USB
watch and help you use the many features
of the watch and software.
For complete instructions on using this
watch, see the Watch Help and Software
Help in the software. Printable versions
are loaded automatically onto your
computer when you install the Timex Data
Link USB software.
WHAT YOU NEED
QUICK START GUIDE
INSTALL THE SOFTWARE
While a computer is not needed for most
watch functions, the software makes
watch setting easy and unlocks powerful
features such as appointment and contact
management. Every feature can be set
simply and easily with a computer.
You need the following to take advantage
of all the watch functions:
fThe included CD-ROM with the Timex
Data Link®USB software.
fThe supplied USB cable.
fA PC with the following configuration:
• Microsoft®Windows®98 2nd Ed.,
2000 (with Service Pack 1 or higher),
ME, XP or higher operating system
• 30 MB of free hard disk space
• USB port
The mini CD-ROM works in any standard
CD-ROM drive with a tray; place the CD-
ROM in the center of the tray. Visit
www.timex.com to download the software
if you have any trouble.
To install the software, load the CD-ROM
into your computer. A menu should
automatically appear (if not, run
INTRO.EXE on the CD). Select "Install
Timex Data Link USB." If you wish to keep
track of your workouts on the PC, you
may also select "Install Timex Trainer."
BATTERY
The life of a factory-installed battery is
estimated to be about 2 years, but battery
life will vary depending on actual usage.
When the watch's battery is low, the
message LO BATT is displayed in place of
the date, at the beginning of each day.
The reminder disappears when you
change the display. You should replace
the battery as soon as possible. While the
watch will continue to run, a low battery
may cause communication problems.
To avoid permanent damage to the watch,
Timex strongly recommends that you
have the battery replaced by a jeweler.
WATER RESISTANCE
This watch is rated as water resistant as
marked on the watch. A 100 m water-
resistant watch withstands pressure to 172
p.s.i. (equals immersion to 330 feet or 100
meters below sea level). A 50 m water-
resistant watch withstands pressure to 86
p.s.i. (equals immersion to 165 feet or 50
meters below sea level).
Do not press the watch buttons while
under water, as the watch will not remain
water resistant.
