Introduction Watch Features Welcome! Time of Day • 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. • • Altimeter • Register your product at www.timex.com • • 4 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.
Barometer Chronograph • • • • • • 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.
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.
Setting Operation When setting Time of Day, Alarms or the Countdown Timer and so on, the button functions change from what is printed on the case. NOTE: These setting functions are the same in any mode where you can set a value. SET START / SPLIT INDIGLO® MODE 10 STOP / RESET 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.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each of the values you wish to set. TIP: If you accidentally skip past a setting, continue to press and release the MODE button to move all the way through the settings and back to the one that requires adjustment. 6. When you are satisfied that everything is set as intended, press the SET button to save your settings and exit.
Weather Forecasting Notes on calibrating the Altimeter and Barometer 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.
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.
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.
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.
Switching time zones BARO - Barometer Mode 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 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.
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.
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. Using the Altimeter Press and release MODE until you see “ALTI” on the display.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
