Water And Shock Resistance; Indiglo ® Night-Light; Date Models - Timex W217 User Manual

Congratulations on purchasing your TIMEX
instructions carefully to understand how to operate your Timex timepiece.
Your watch may not have all of the features described in this booklet. For
more information, please visit: www.timex.com
HOW TO START YOUR WATCH
Quartz Movement: To start your watch remove the plastic guard from under
the crown, then press the crown in against the case. The second hand will
begin advancing in one-second intervals.
Some deep-depth water-resistant watches require the setting crown to be
screwed in to secure water-resistance. 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.
Hand-wind Movement: To start your watch remove the plastic guard from
under the crown, set the Time and Date (if applies) then press the crown in
against the case. Slowly turn the crown clock-wise until you feel resistance.
You should hear the watch "ticking" and the second hand will begin to move.
If the watch stops in the next 24 hours, you should increase the amount of
clock-wise turns of the crown during the winding process until you find the
watch will work for 24 hours without stopping. You should wind the watch
each 24-hour period at approximately the same time of day to ensure the
watch does not become fully un-wound and stops. If the watch stops, follow
the instructions to set the Time and Date (if applies), and wind to start the
watch again.
