Fitness Coach. You can walk, run, bike, use exercise machines, or do any aerobic exercise with the Timex® Digital Heart Rate Sensor. The key to achieving and maintaining your desired Fitness Objective is to exercise in your Ideal Heart Rate Zone.
Performance data displays are more limited in this mode than in the Chronograph. ALARM – Timex has provided five alarms that can be configured to sound every day, weekdays only, weekends only or one time only (think “appointment reminder”).
Button Functions Most of the time, the button functions correspond to the labels that are painted on the case. However, there are situations where the button functions have to change to enable you to set the Time of Day, or configure your heart rate target zone. In situations like these, the button’s new function will be indicated by an icon or text visible on the watch display.
Starting the Bodylink® System When using the Performance Monitor, you can view real-time data from a Heart Rate Sensor or Speed + Distance Sensor, or both, in Time of Day, Chrono and Timer. The procedure to do this is the same in all modes, though the data that you can view and their position on the display in each mode will vary.
• If you want to stop monitoring data from your Bodylink® sen- sors, hold the DISPLAY button down until the message HOLD TO SHUT OFF RCVR is displayed on the watch display. Continue holding the DISPLAY button for a few more seconds; the watch will beep indicating that the radio link between the watch and the sensors has been shut down.
Timex® Sensors if this error occurs. The watch will search for the “missing” device for one minute after this message appears on the display. See “Viewing Perfor- mance Data” on page 14 for the procedure on reestablishing a link to this Sensor if the watch does not automatically find it within the one minute period.
• Speed and Pace Smoothing 1-20 Time of Day Mode Your Timex® watch will display time, date and day of week for two time zones. Each time zone is kept synchronized to highly accurate UTC time (also known as Greenwich Mean Time) when you use the Speed + Distance Sensor and can be displayed in 12- or 24-hour format.
Time Zones This watch has two independent groups of time settings, which we refer to as “zones.” The one that is visible on the display is called the primary zone; the one you can’t see is called the sec- ondary zone. You may “peek” at your secondary zone by pressing and briefly holding the START/SPLIT button while in Time of Day.
• Each time you use the Speed + Distance Sensor, the watch will correct itself for any drift from UTC time since you last used the Speed + Distance Sensor. Here are a few tips regarding time synchronization: • When using the Speed + Distance Sensor, the time on the watch is updated when the Sensor locks onto the satellites and then every fifteen minutes thereafter as long as the watch is receiving data from the Speed + Distance Sensor.
Chronograph Mode The Chronograph (Chrono) mode allows you to record the elapsed time and other information for an event, up to 100 hours. Up to 100 laps may be stored, with the following data for each lap: • Lap number, lap time, and split time •...
The watch will show the lap and split time for the lap that you just completed. If you are viewing HRM or Speed + Distance data, the watch will then display the average statistics for the lap (depend- ing on the data you are viewing). The watch will then return to the running Chrono timing the current lap.
Lap Data Mode Lap Data mode allows you to review stored lap information at any time, whether the Chrono is running, stopped or reset. All lap data is erased when the Chrono is started from reset. INDIGLO To Summary/ Hold to go to Time of Day Mode Operation...
Summary Mode This mode displays a summary of all the aggregate performance data recorded by the watch while the Chrono was running. This mode will not show the data recorded for each lap; refer to the section for Lap Data mode elsewhere in this manual. Like the data in Lap Data mode, when the Chrono is started from reset, all the data in Summary mode are cleared, with the excep- tion of the Odometer data.

Average Pace – The average pace calculated while the Chrono was running. This value is simply the average speed expressed in terms of minutes per unit distance. Best Pace – This is the fastest (smallest) pace value calculated while the Chrono was running. Event Distance –...
Timer Mode Timer mode allows you to set a time from which the watch counts down to zero, making this feature useful for fixed-time events. The Timer can be set to stop, repeat the countdown con- tinuously, or switch to Chrono mode at the completion of the countdown.
NOTE: This feature will work only if the Chrono is reset when the Timer reaches “0”. If the Chrono is not reset at that point, the Timer will simply stop at the end of it’s countdown and the Chrono will not be started. It is important, therefore, to check that the Chrono is reset before starting the Timer with this action at the end of the countdown.
Alarm Mode This mode allows you to set up to five alarms to alert you at a preset time. When an alarm is ON, the alarm clock icon appears in the Time of Day display. Alarms can be set to sound every day, on weekdays or weekends only, or one time only (for an appointment, for example).
• WEEKENDS – The Alarm will occur at the selected time on Saturday and Sunday only. • ONCE – The Alarm will sound one time only, at the selected time and then disarm itself. 4. Press SET/FORMAT (SELECT) to begin setting the Alarm time, starting with the hour value.
• Press SET/FORMAT (SELECT) to go “down” to the next level in the hierarchy, or to enter the setting state for the option that you are looking at. • Press MODE (DONE) to go back “up” to the group selection. INDIGLO Done viewing...
Option Descriptions HRM SETTINGS These settings allow you to set a target zone for your heart rate and an out-of-zone alert when using the Heart Rate Sensor. You may select from a set of 5 preset zones, or enter a manual upper and lower limit value.
TIP: The MANUAL settings are maintained independently of the preset zones, so you can use them for certain workouts and use a preset zone for others and not have to re-enter your manual settings each time. MAX HR (HR QUICK SET: None Enter your Maximum Heart Rate.
UNITS ARE IN TERMS OF SPEED Fastest Speed Alert Type Slowest Speed Alert Type When changing the zone limits, the settings are in the following order: • Zone type – Choose either SPEED or PACE. • SLOWEST SPEED (or FASTEST PACE). •...
Hands-Free Settings These settings provide options for having the Chronograph auto- matically start, stop and take splits. These features are only func- tional when using the Timex Speed + Distance Sensor. AUTO-START AND AUTO-STOP QUICK SET: On/Off These settings enable the Chronograph to start when you begin moving (i.e.
Changing the Battery TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF PERMANENTLY DAMAGING THE WATCH, TIMEX STRONGLY RECOMMENDS TAKING YOUR WATCH TO A RETAILER OR JEWELER TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED. If you choose to replace the battery yourself, check the back of the Watch (caseback) for the specific battery type and size required for your Watch.
