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.

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 accuracy of the pressure/temperature sensor, primarily by compensating 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 reference, 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

15

and then again whenever you experience significant changes in altitude or temperature during your activity.

If you are not using the altimeter feature, then daily calibration will maintain the accuracy of the barometer and weather forecasting feature.

Whenever possible, the sensor should be calibrated soon after you experience significant temperature changes.

Do I need to calibrate both the Barometer and the

Altimeter?

No. BARO mode calibrates the sensor based upon the sea level air pressure, while ALTI allows you to calibrate the sensor by telling the watch about your current altitude.

Calibration performed in either mode will calibrate the sensor for all modes. For the best accuracy, we recommend that you choose only one calibration method each time you calibrate the sensor, based on the most accurate

16 reference source available.

For example, if you are standing at a trail head and know the correct altitude, then the most accurate calibration will be obtained by calibrating within ALTI mode (since it relies on altitude as the reference). However, if you don’t know your altitude, you can find out the current sea level pressure (published online or in a newspaper) and calibrate the sensor within BARO mode. For example, the U.S. weather service publishes the sea-level pressure for all of its stations at http://www.weather.gov

Temperature Accuracy

When worn on your wrist, the thermometer reading is affected by body heat and may report a temperature different from the actual air temperature by 10 degrees or more. Long periods of exposure to direct sunlight may also affect the accuracy. Try wearing the watch outside your

17

jacket (in cold weather) or clipping it to your belt or pack

(ideally in an area not constantly exposed to the sun) to improve the accuracy of the temperature readings during outdoor activities. For the most accurate readings, remove the watch from your wrist and put in shade for at least several minutes.

The watch can measure water temperature also, if submerged. Be sure to select temperature display before placing the watch in water, as buttons should not be pressed with the watch underwater.

TIME - Time of Day Mode

In this mode you may view the current time and date in either of two time zones and switch between them. The time can be displayed in 12- or 24-hour format. In addition to the time of day, the watch can display the current barometer (air pressure) value or the current temperature

18

(in the lower display line) and the weather forecast

(at the top of the display).

Setting Time of Day

Refer to section entitled “Setting Operation” on page 11 to understand how the buttons function during setting.

You may set the following values for Time of Day:

Hour, Minute, Seconds, Year, Month, Date, Date Format,

Time Format, Hourly Chime.

19

NOTES:

• Be sure you have selected the intended time zone

(T1 or T2) before you begin setting; you cannot switch zones while setting (see “Using the Dual Time Zone feature” on pg 21).

• When setting the hour value, be sure to set to the correct part of the day (AM or PM) (12-hour format only).

• The seconds’ value can only be set to “0” and cannot be set individually for each time zone.

• The day of the week is automatically calculated based on the date.

• The watch will automatically adjust for leap years up to 2049.

• When the hourly chime is enabled, a confirmation beep will also be generated whenever a key is pressed.

20

Using the Dual Time Zone feature

The watch can keep track of the time for two zones

(T1 and T2). By default, T1 is the “primary” time zone (the one that you can see) and T2 is the “secondary” time zone

(the one you can’t see). The indicator for the primary time zone is shown in the lower left of the display.

Viewing the secondary time zone

You may temporarily view (or “peek” at) the secondary time zone by briefly pressing and holding the STOP/RESET button. While you are “peeking” at the secondary time zone, its indicator (T1 or T2) will flash in the lower left-hand side of the display. When you release the

STOP/RESET button, the watch will display the time for the primary time zone once again.

21

Switching time zones

If you wish to switch to the secondary time zone, simply continue holding the STOP/RESET button until the time zone indicator (T1 or T2) stops flashing (this takes about three seconds). This will be your new primary time zone until you switch it back.

Viewing Temperature and Air Pressure Data

While in TIME mode, press and release the START/SPLIT button to view the following information on the lower line of the watch display:

• The current air pressure

• The current temperature

• The month and date

22

BARO - Barometer Mode

Want a better understanding of the forces that influence the weather? This is the mode to do just that – here you can view the current air pressure (local and sea level), monitor the current temperature and study the changes in air pressure over time, presented in a graphical format.

Finally, the weather forecast for the next 4 - 6 hours is shown at the top of the display.

23

Viewing Temperature and Pressure Data

Press and release MODE until you see “BARO” on the display.

Press and release the START/SPLIT button to view each of the following data combinations:

• Temperature, Sea Level Pressure and Local Pressure

• Time of Day, Sea Level Pressure and Temperature

• Time of Day, a graph of the sea level pressure for the last 24 hours and Sea Level Pressure.

Temperature is updated every four minutes and barometric pressure every 2.5 minutes.

Selecting Pressure and Temperature Units

When viewing the Temperature, Sea Level Pressure and

Local Pressure group, press STOP/RESET to toggle barometric pressure display units (inches of mercury [inHg] or millibars [mbar]).

24

When viewing the Time of Day, Sea Level Pressure and

Temperature group, press STOP/RESET to toggle temperature display units (°F or °C).

NOTE: Unit selection made for temperature and barometric pressure in BARO mode applies to all modes in the watch.

For example, if you select “°C” for the temperature display in BARO mode, it will also appear in °C in Time of Day and

Altimeter modes.

Calibrating the Barometer

Calibration in BARO mode allows you to synchronize the weather forecasting feature with the current weather situation and also to calibrate the pressure sensor for improved accuracy.

Refer to section entitled “Setting Operation” on page 11 to understand how the buttons function during setting. Refer

25

to the section entitled “Notes on calibrating the Altimeter and Barometer” on page 15 for general information regarding calibration.

1. Press and hold SET until the word “SET” appears in the lower line of the display.

2. Using START/SPLIT or STOP/RESET, adjust the weather icons to the actual weather conditions.

3. Press MODE to move on to entering the sea level air pressure.

4. Using START/SPLIT (to increase) and STOP/RESET

(to decrease), adjust flashing value.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until for each flashing value until the pressure is set as intended.

6. Press SET to complete calibration.

26

What is “Sea Level Pressure”?

Sea Level Pressure is simply the air pressure for a specific location adjusted to account for the air pressure difference due to the altitude of the location. Because very few places on the earth are actually at sea level, this adjustment factor was devised to allow for easy comparison of air pressure values from place to place. For example, without this compensation, a pressure reading of 29.5 inHg in

Denver, CO would not mean the same as the same reading in Miami, FL due to the large difference in altitude.

Meteorologists would have a very difficult time measuring the change in the weather as fronts move across the land masses if there was no way to compensate for the altitude effects. So, whenever you see a barometer value published online or in a newspaper, it is always the pressure adjusted for the altitude of the measuring station.

27

Typically, if you are above sea level, the “local” pressure value that the watch also displays will be lower than the sea level pressure (because air pressure decreases with altitude) and if you are at a point below sea level the local pressure will be slightly higher.

Incidentally, this difference between sea level air pressure and the local air pressure is how the watch determines the altitude.

ALTI - Altimeter Mode

This mode provides altitude and temperature information to make outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking and trail running more enjoyable. The watch will keep track of the highest altitude you achieved as well as accumulate all of the positive altitude changes you experience. These statistics are visible when you first enter ALTI mode.

28

Using the Altimeter

Press and release MODE until you see “ALTI” on the display. After a couple of seconds, the watch will display the following data, in the order shown, for two seconds each:

• The highest recorded altitude (indicated by “HIGH” in the lower display line).

• The total accumulated positive altitude changes

(indicated by “ACC” in the lower display line).

29

After the accumulated data is displayed, the watch will then display either of the following views of the altitude data:

• Current time, altitude and temperature data.

• A graph of the altitude changes for the last five hours

(each column represents 10 minutes) shown in the center of the display. The current time is displayed in the upper line and the current altitude is displayed in the lower line.

Press and release the START/SPLIT button to switch between these two views.

Selecting Altitude Units

While viewing the current time, altitude and temperature data, press STOP/RESET to switch units between feet (FT) and meters (M).

30

Altimeter Performance

When ALTI mode is first entered, the watch will update the altitude information every two seconds and will continue this fast data update rate for thirty minutes. After thirty minutes elapses, if the watch determines that the altitude is no longer changing significantly, it will reduce its data update rate to that of the barometer function (every 2.5

minutes). At that point, two things will happen:

1. The weather icons will appear in the upper part of the display indicating the forecast.

2. The watch will stop data accumulation for the ACC and HIGH statistics.

The watch will continue to monitor the air pressure at this slower rate and, if it determines that the altitude is changing significantly, it will go back to faster update rate. If this change occurs, the weather icons will be removed from

31

the display and the watch will again update the statistical data with altitude information as necessary.

Calibrating the Altimeter and Clearing

HIGH and ACC

Calibration in ALTI mode allows you to calibrate the pressure sensor for improved accuracy as well as clear the HIGH and ACC data values.

Calibration operates exactly like setting, so refer to the section entitled “Setting Operation” on page 11 to understand how the buttons function during setting. Also refer to the section entitled “Notes on calibrating the Altimeter and Barometer” on page 15 for general information regarding calibration.

For proper calibration, adjust the “CAL” value to reflect your actual altitude. The “CAL “ value can be set to a value from -2296 ft (-700m) to +26520 ft (+9000m).

32

1. Press and hold SET until the word “CAL” appears in the upper line of the display and the sign of the calibration value is flashing.

2. Press START/SPLIT to adjust the sign (positive for altitudes above sea level, negative for altitudes below).

3. Press MODE to move on to adjusting the current altitude value.

4. Using START/SPLIT (to increase) and STOP/RESET

(to decrease), adjust flashing value.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each value of the calibration altitude.

6. Press MODE to move on to enable clearing of the

HIGH data value. “HIGH” will be flashing in the upper line; the current value for the highest altitude will be displayed.

7. Press and hold START/SPLIT to clear the value, if desired.

33

8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to clear the ACC data.

9. Press SET to complete calibration.

CHRO – Chronograph Mode

The Chronograph gives you the ability to time a hike, a ski or a run – just about anything you’d like to time. You can also track the time for specific segments of an activity with the lap/split features; the Chronograph will store lap/split times for thirty laps as well as the best (or shortest) lap time and the average for all the stored lap times.

In the event you take more than thirty laps, the watch will store timing information for the first thirty.

Terminology

Lap Time: The elapsed time for a segment of a course, marked by pressing the START/SPLIT button on the watch.

For example, if you are running on a standard quarter-mile

34 track, the lap time would be the time for one lap around the track, assuming that you push the START/SPLIT button as you cross the start/finish line each time.

Split Time: The elapsed time from the start of the workout, sometimes called the “total time”.

“Taking a Lap”: Marking the end of one segment (or lap) and the beginning of another by pressing START/SPLIT while the Chronograph is running. Also called “taking a split”.

Using the Chronograph

Press and release MODE until you see “CHRO” on the display.

Start the Chronograph by pressing START/SPLIT and stop it by pressing STOP/RESET.

While the Chronograph is stopped, you may restart it by pressing START/SPLIT, or you may reset it to zero by

35

pressing and holding STOP/RESET.

You may leave CHRO mode while the Chronograph is running; it will continue to run in the background, indicated by the icon on the display when in TIME mode.

Lap/Split Timing

Press START/SPLIT each time you pass a segment marker

(like trail head marker) to complete the timing of the previous lap or segment and begin timing a new one. The lap and split times for the segment just completed will be displayed for ten seconds (it will still be timing the new segment in the background, indicated by the flashing symbol on the display). If you wish to return to the running

Chronograph immediately, press MODE to dismiss the previous lap time data.

36

Changing the Display Format

You have the option of viewing either the lap or split time in the large digits in the center of the watch display. The display format can be changed at any time, though the method changes based on whether or not laps have been taken. The word “LAP” will appear on the display to inform you where the lap time is displayed.

If no laps have yet been taken:

Press SET. “FORMAT” will appear on the display, followed by the current configuration, which will be flashing. Press

START/SPLIT or STOP/RESET to select the desired format and then press SET to save the setting and return to the

Chronograph display.

37

If you have taken at least one lap:

Press SET. “RECALL” will appear on the display, followed by the lap and split times for Lap 1. Press MODE – “FORMAT” will appear on the display followed by the current display format configuration, which will be flashing. Press

START/SPLIT or STOP/RESET to select the desired format and then press SET to save the setting and return to the

Chronograph display.

Reviewing Stored Lap/Split Times

1. In CHRO mode, press SET to begin. If there are lap/split times stored, “RECALL” will appear on the display, followed by the lap/split time for Lap 1.

NOTE: If there are no lap/split times to recall, the watch will display “FORMAT” and allow you to change the display format (see “Changing the Display Format” above).

38

2. Press START/SPLIT to view each successive lap/split time, followed by the BEST and AVERAGE lap

(if the Chronograph is stopped). You may also press

STOP/RESET to go back and view earlier lap/split times.

NOTE: You may recall the stored timing information while the Chronograph is running or stopped, as long as you have taken at least one lap. If the Chronograph is stopped, the BEST and AVG information will follow the last entry; if the Chronograph is still running, these data are not shown.

3. When you have finished reviewing the lap/split times, press SET to return CHRO mode.

NOTE: You may also change the display format for CHRO mode while viewing stored lap/split information. Press

39

MODE to enter this mode (FORMAT will appear on the display). Press START/SPLIT to change to the desired format and then press MODE to return to RECALL, or press SET to return to CHRO mode.

TIMER - Countdown Timer Mode

The Countdown Timer is useful for situations where you want to time an event with a fixed duration, like a 30minute hike, a 3-minute egg or series of 1-minute sprint/rest intervals.

Setting the Countdown Timer

Refer to section entitled “Setting Operation” on page 11 to understand how the buttons function during setting.

You may set the following values for the Countdown

Timer:

40

HOUR MINUTE SECONDS “ONCE”/“REPEAT”

Setting the Timer to “ONCE” will cause the Timer to stop after it completes its countdown; selecting “REPEAT” will cause the Timer to repeat the countdown indefinitely until the Timer is manually stopped.

The Timer can be set to a maximum time of 23:59.59

(24 hours).

Using the Countdown Timer

Press and release MODE until you see “TIMER” on the display.

Press START/SPLIT to start the Timer, press STOP/RESET to stop it. You may press START/SPLIT to resume the countdown, or press STOP/RESET once again to reset the

Timer to the original countdown time.

41

The watch will generate an alert when the countdown is complete. If the Timer is set to repeat, an alert is generated each time the count reaches zero.

You may leave TIMER mode while the Countdown Timer is running; it will continue to run in the background. This is indicated by the icon on the display when in TIME mode.

42

ALARM - Alarm Mode

The watch includes five independent daily alarms to help you coordinate your schedule.

Setting an Alarm

Refer to section entitled “Setting Operation” on page 11 to understand how the buttons function during setting.

• You may set the Hour and Minute value for each

Alarm.

• If the watch is displaying time in AM/PM format, be sure to set the hour value to the correct part of the day (AM or PM).

• The Alarm is automatically armed if you change the

Hour or Minute value during setting.

43

Selecting and Arming/Disarming Alarms

Press and release MODE until you see “ALARM” on the display.

Press and release STOP/RESET to select an Alarm

(AL-1 through AL-5)

Arm or disarm the selected Alarm by pressing

START/SPLIT. The word “ON” and the icon will appear next to the Alarm time when the Alarm is armed.

The icon will also be visible in TIME mode if any one of the Alarms is armed. When the Alarm is armed, it will generate an alert at the set time.

Backup Alert

When the Alarm time arrives, the watch will generate an alert for 20 seconds. You may press any button on the watch to silence this alert. If you don’t silence the alert, the watch will assume that you missed that Alarm time and will automatically enable a backup alert, indicated by a flashing icon on the display, which will sound five minutes after the Alarm time.

Frequently Answers and Questions

How often should I calibrate the sensor?
Timex recommends that you calibrate the sensor prior to any activity where you will be using the altimeter feature and then again whenever you experience significant changes in altitude or temperature during your activity. If you are not using the altimeter feature, then daily calibration will maintain the accuracy of the barometer and weather forecasting feature.
Do I need to calibrate both the Barometer and the Altimeter?
No. BARO mode calibrates the sensor based upon the sea level air pressure, while ALTI allows you to calibrate the sensor by telling the watch about your current altitude. Calibration performed in either mode will calibrate the sensor for all modes.
How do I use the Altimeter?
Press and release MODE until you see “ALTI” on the display. After a couple of seconds, the watch will display the following data, in the order shown, for two seconds each: The highest recorded altitude (indicated by “HIGH” in the lower display line).
