•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.

Introduction

Welcome!

Thank you for purchasing a TIMEX® EXPEDITION®

adventure tech altimeter watch. The watch is equipped

with a variety of features to enhance your outdoor

experience.So,if you are trekking the trails,skiing the

slopes or just hanging out, enjoy the journey.

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

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.
