Performance Monitor.  
You are ready for higher levels of physical activity when you can  
work out for this amount of time and heart rate without breathing  
hard and with minimal soreness.  
Why Heart Zone Exercise is Widely Used by Fitness/Sports  
Training Experts.  
Regular exercise can help keep the heart, lungs and muscles “in  
shape.” The heart supplies the lungs and muscles with the oxy-  
genated blood supply needed to exercise. Heart Rate represents  
the effects of exercise on all parts of the body. Heart Zone  
Exercise systematically conditions the heart, lungs, and muscles  
to perform at higher levels so the body can stay in shape.  
Optimal Conditioning is Simply a Higher Training Habit  
You do not have to be an athlete to get into optimal shape.  
Anyone at any age can do this by using cross training to optimal  
condition. Follow these guidelines:  
• Pick the exercise activities you enjoy or the ones you need  
for a training program.  
The latest findings on fitness show anyone at any age can get fit/  
stay fit without being fanatic. For the “moderate” exerciser, stay-  
ing fit can be as simple as:  
• Train at the appropriate Target Heart Rate for 30 to 60 min-  
utes 3-4 times a week.  
• Exercise 3 Times a Week  
• You will approach optimal condition when you can sustain  
a complete exercise session without “burnout” or exces-

Your Timex® Digital Heart Rate Sensor is Your Electronic  
Fitness Coach.  
Meet Your New Training Partner  
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.  
The Modes  
First, you might want to take a spin through the modes to famil-  
iarize yourself with the different features present in your watch.  
Press and release the MODE button to cycle through the watch  
modes in the following order:  
Resources on the Internet  
TIME OF DAY – This mode shows the current time of day and date  
for one of two time zones. You can also view a limited set of per-  
formance data in the lower line, when using the Bodylink® sensors.  
The Timex web site (www.timex.com) is an excellent source of  
information to help you get more out of your Timex® Bodylink®  
System purchase. Other resources to check on the Timex site  
include:  
CHRONO – This is the main “workout” mode in the watch. Here  
you can operate the Chronograph and monitor a full complement  
of performance data when using your Bodylink® sensors.  
For more information on the Timex® Bodylink® System, including  
product feature listings and simulations.  
LAP DATA – You’ll spend time here when you want to review the  
laps taken in the Chronograph. In this mode you can view per-lap  
speed, pace, distance and heart rate statistics.  
For releases and updates to software that work with Timex®  
products.  
SUMMARY – This is the mode that will enable you to view overall  
and aggregate performance data, such as your overall average  
heart rate, event time or overall average pace for example. You’ll  
also find a resettable “Trip Odometer” in this mode for keeping  
track of your distance traveled over long periods of time or across  
multiple workouts.  
For fitness and training tips using the Timex® Bodylink® System  
and its Heart Rate and Speed + Distance sensors.

TIMER – Use this mode if you need a countdown timer to time a  
fixed event, such as a spinning workout. Performance data displays  
are more limited in this mode than in the Chronograph.  
The Display  
Your Timex® Performance Monitor is capable of conveying a lot  
of information at a glance while occupying only a small space on  
your wrist. Here is a quick overview of what the symbols on the  
watch display mean:  
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”).  
TIMER IS RUNNING  
GPS BATTERY VOLTAGE IS LOW  
CONFIGURE – The place to adjust settings for how the watch  
responds to HRM and Speed + Distance data. Features such as  
Heart Rate target zones, speed/pace alert settings and Chrono  
hands-free features are set here.

Here is a second example of the button functions in Lap Data  
mode. Here the buttons change their functions to enable you to  
navigate through the stored lap data. Again, the new function of  
each button is indicated on the watch display.  
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.  
Next  
For example, here is how the buttons function while setting the  
Time of Day. Notice how the functions of the buttons correspond  
to the symbols visible on the display:

Starting the Bodylink® System  
NOTE: As a convenience, Chrono and Timer will automatically  
search for Bodylink® sensors for fifteen seconds upon entering  
the mode.  
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.  
4. When the watch has successfully detected transmissions from  
the sensors, the watch display will switch to a new format  
showing some or all of the sensor data, depending on the  
mode. Time of Day and Timer show the data in the lower line  
exclusively, while Chrono allows up to three lines of perform-  
ance data.  
1. Make sure you’re wearing your Heart Rate Sensor or Speed +  
Distance Sensor, or both, and that they are powered up and  
functional.  
2. Stand at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from any other users of  
fitness monitor systems and from any source of radio interfer-  
ence such as electrical equipment, power lines, etc.  
Viewing Performance Data  
Press and release the DISPLAY button to select the data or com-  
bination of data that you wish to view during your workout. For  
your convenience, a “banner” showing the names of the informa-  
tion and their position on the display is shown briefly before  
showing the data itself.  
NOTE: Though the Bodylink® system has a working range of  
about 3 feet (1 meter) from the sensors to the watch, for the  
most reliable operation, make sure that the watch is as close to  
the sensors as possible when starting the system up.  
Here are a few more things you should know to use the watch  
effectively:  
3. Press and release the DISPLAY button. This tells the watch to  
look for any Bodylink® sensors nearby; it will search for one  
minute. The antenna icon will appear on the watch display, indi-  
cating that the Bodylink® system is active.  
 
• While in the Chrono, press and release SET/FORMAT to swap  
the positions of the information in the upper and middle display  
lines. This allows you to view the data most important in the  
larger middle display line.  
1-14  
1-15  
• 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.  
SEARCHING (Speed + Distance) – The Speed + Distance Sensor  
has not yet detected enough GPS satellites to calculate your cur-  
rent position, speed and distance. You will not be able to view  
speed, pace or distance information until the Speed + Distance  
Sensor locks to a sufficient number of GPS satellites.  
WEAK GPS SIGNAL (Speed + Distance) – The Speed + Distance  
Sensor has lost its link with the GPS satellites. This message will  
appear when the Sensor no longer has a clear view of the sky,  
such as under a dense forest canopy or inside a building; move  
to a more open area as soon as you can.  
TIP: If you are already viewing data from one sensor, for exam-  
ple, the Heart Rate Sensor, and you wish to also view data from  
the Speed + Distance Sensor, simply press and hold the DISPLAY  
button until the watch emits a short beep and the antenna icon  
begins flashing. The watch is now searching for a second  
Bodylink® sensor. When it detects this second device, the  
antenna icon will stop flashing and the display may change to  
a new format that includes the new information. Press and  
release the DISPLAY button (as detailed previously) to view  
various combinations of two sensor’s data.  
NOTE: Both the Sensor and the watch employ techniques to  
maintain reasonable distance accuracy during these periods  
when GPS tracking is temporarily lost or when the radio link is  
temporarily interrupted.  
NO DATA FROM HRM (GPS) – The watch is not receiving data  
from the indicated Sensor. Ensure that the Sensor is not more  
than 3 ft. (1 m) away from the watch and that it is powered up  
and functional.  
Bodylink® Informational and Error Messages  
When monitoring data from your Heart Rate or Speed + Distance  
Sensors, the watch may display informational messages to com-  
municate the status of the sensor device or of the radio link  
between the watch and the sensors.  
The watch will attempt to “find” the Sensor after this message  
has been displayed. It is possible that the watch may inadvertent-  
ly lock to another sensor nearby and not necessarily yours; there-  
 
1-16  
1-17  
fore, if possible, move away from other users of Timex® Sensors if  
this error occurs.  
Configuring the Watch for First Use  
Now that you’ve become familiar with the layout and functions of the  
buttons, as well as the way the modes are arranged on the watch, it  
is time to set the watch up for use. There are a few essential set-  
tings that must be made, such as time and maximum heart rate.  
Then, you may want to set up your target zones. Finally, you can  
explore the more advanced features the watch has to offer.  
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.  
NOISY DATA FROM HRM (GPS) – The watch is having difficulty  
receiving data from the indicated sensor due to radio interference.  
If possible, try to move away from any potential sources of inter-  
ference such as TVs, monitors or motorized devices.  
Basic settings  
Before you use your Performance Monitor during a workout, make  
sure that you’ve set the following parameters correctly:  
1. Set the Time of Day. For detailed setting instructions, refer to  
page 22 of this manual. If you are using this watch with the  
Speed + Distance Sensor, your time settings will be corrected to  
follow UTC time, and corrected for drift over time.  
The watch will continue to track the Sensor for about thirty seconds  
after this message has appeared on the display; if the interference  
condition persists, the watch will stop tracking data from the Sen-  
sor. See “Viewing Performance Data” on page 14 for the proce-  
dure on reestablishing a link to this Sensor if the interference con-  
dition is not corrected within the thirty second period.  
2. Enter you Maximum Heart Rate (HRMAX). Go to Configure Mode,  
select “HRM Settings” and then “Max HR.” This setting is used to  
determine your five preset heart rate target zones. If you need help  
navigating through Configure mode, refer to the section for that  
mode on page 43. There are many methods to estimate your maxi-  
mum heart rate. One widely used age-based method is 220 – age;  
use this formula if you don’t know your maximum heart rate.  
3. Select your desired length units. Again, in Configure Mode,  
select “Watch Settings,” then select “Length Units.” This setting  
FATAL GPS ERROR (Speed + Distance) – The Speed + Distance  
Sensor has encountered a severe internal error. Contact Timex  
Customer Service.

determines how distance and pace values and settings are dis-  
played throughout the watch.  
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.  
Target Zone Settings  
Use target zones to keep your heart rate and speed within a

AM/PM indication correctly.  
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.  
If you release the button, you return to your primary time zone dis-  
play; continue to hold the button down and you will swap settings,  
making the secondary zone the new primary zone and vice versa.  
3. Press SET/FORMAT (SELECT) to select (in order) minutes, year,  
month, date and 12- or 24-hour format. In each case, press DIS-  
PLAY (+) to increase or STOP/RESET () to decrease the value.  
4. Press MODE (DONE) to save your changes and return to the  
Time of Day display.  
Note that the seconds value is not adjustable and the day of the  
week is automatically calculated based on the date.  
The time zone settings on the watch are identified as T1 and T2  
during peeking.  
UTC TIME SYNCHRONIZATION  
Setting the Time of Day  
When receiving GPS data from the Speed + Distance Sensor, the  
watch will automatically correct the time for both time zones  
based on the time information from the GPS satellites.  
SETTING TIME OF DAY MANUALLY  
NOTE: To set the secondary time zone, you must make it the  
primary zone by holding the START/SPLIT button until the two  
zones are swapped. After setting, repeat this step to return to  
your original time zone, if desired.  
• The first time you use the Speed + Distance Sensor, both time  
zone values will be synchronized to UTC time. You may then  
adjust the time for your local time zone.  
• If you had set the watch before using the Speed + Distance  
Sensor for the first time, your hour and date settings are  
maintained, and only the minute and seconds values are set

• 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.  
Viewing Performance Data  
When using the Speed + Distance Sensor or the Heart Rate  
Sensor, you can monitor your performance data in the bottom line  
of the display. Viewing this data is simply a matter of pressing and  
releasing the DISPLAY button until you see the data that you want:  
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.  
• Current Speed  
• Current Pace  
• Overall Distance traveled for your current workout. This data is  
somewhat dependent on the state of the Chronograph. Please  
see the complete description for “Overall Distance” in the  
Summary Mode section of this manual.  
• The primary purpose of Time Synchronization is to correct for  
any drift or inaccuracy in the watch timekeeping – it will not  
adjust the watch for Daylight Savings Time, if observed in your  
area.  
• Current Heart Rate  
• Once the watch has been synchronized with UTC, you may  
adjust the watch “ahead” or “behind” the correct time and still  
keep the benefits of drift correction. For example, you may  
want to adjust the time so that it is 10 minutes ahead of the  
actual time in your area. No problem – manually set the time  
ahead 10 minutes and the watch will stay exactly 10 minutes  
ahead of the correct local time.  
TIP: If you don’t want to view any performance data at all, you  
may elect to “hide” these data and view the day of the week  
instead; this selection is always available when selecting the  
performance data to view. This setting will be maintained the  
next time you use the Bodylink® system, so it might appear that  
you are not receiving any sensor data since the day of the week  
is still visible. Keep this in mind when electing to view  
the day of week.

mode, such as Time of Day, while the Chrono is running without  
disrupting its operation. The stopwatch icon will appear to indicate  
that the Chrono is running.  
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  
• Average speed, average pace, and distance for each lap (if the  
Speed + Distance Sensor is in use)  
A Note About Laps and Splits  
Throughout this section we will talk about “laps” and “splits.”  
When describing time, “lap time” is the time for one segment (lap)  
of an event. “Split time” is the total time since the start of the  
event. We use the term “taking a split” and “taking a lap” inter-  
changeably; they both refer to the action that causes the Chrono  
to stop timing the current segment and start timing a new one.  
This can be done manually (with the START/SPLIT button) or auto-  
matically (when using the Speed + Distance sensor).  
• Average heart rate (if the Heart Rate Sensor is in use)  
You can press MODE to switch the watch display to any other

Chrono Operation  
1. Press START/SPLIT to begin timing.  
If you are not using any Bodylink® sensors, the watch displays  
lap time, split time, and lap number. If you are using a Heart-Rate  
Sensor, Speed + Distance Sensor, or both, the watch displays  
information from those devices, such as heart rate, pace, and  
distance.

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. The watch will store the  
last 100 laps worth of data.  
Hands-Free Operation  
You can configure the Chrono to start when you start moving and  
stop when you do. In addition, you can have splits taken automati-  
cally based on either the distance covered or elapsed time. See  
the section for Configure mode for the setting details.  
Viewing Performance Data  
TIP:You may press MODE, SET/FORMAT, or DISPLAY at any time to  
cancel the lap hold and immediately return to the running Chrono.  
When using the Speed + Distance Sensor or the Heart Rate Sensor,  
you can monitor your performance data. Viewing this data is sim-  
ply a matter of pressing and releasing the DISPLAY button until  
you see the data that you want. Refer to inside front cover for a  
chart that shows the data combinations available in this mode.  
3. Press STOP/RESET to stop timing. The display shows the data  
for the final lap and split, if splits were taken.  
4. Press START/SPLIT to resume timing, or press and hold  
STOP/RESET to reset the display to zero.  
When viewing performance data, press and release SET/FORMAT  
to swap the positions of the data in the upper and middle display  
line.  
NOTE: When using the Chrono with either the Speed + Distance  
or Heart Rate Sensor, the Chrono time and lap information will  
appear on the display for four seconds after starting, stopping or  
resetting the Chronograph. During this time, the stopwatch icon  
will be flashing, and all buttons will function normally. This feature  
was included to allow you to view the Chrono data for these  
timing actions even if you have selected to view only perform-  
ance data (not time data) in the Chrono mode.

Lap Data Mode  
Lap Data mode allows you to review stored lap information at any  
time, whether the Chrono is running, stopped or reset.  
If you were using a Speed + Distance Sensor, or a Heart Rate  
Sensor, each recalled lap will have three displays of data; the  
lower line of each will always show the lap number (labeled “RCL”  
for “Recall”).  
All lap data is erased when the Chrono is started from reset.  
If you were not using any of the sensors, each recalled lap will  
consist of one display only (lap and split time).

of your target heart rate zone. This data can give you an idea of  
where your heart rate typically falls when working out in your  
target zone.  
Best Pace – This is the fastest (smallest) pace value calculated  
while the Chrono was running.  
Event Distance – The accumulated distance traveled while the  
Chrono was running.  
Event Time – This is equivalent to the Chrono total time.  
Overall Distance – The accumulated overall distance traveled,  
irrespective of the state of the Chronograph. This distance total  
will account for any distance you may travel when the Chrono is  
stopped; the “Event Distance” value previously described will  
ignore this distance information.  
Overall Time – This is the total time that the watch has been  
receiving Speed + Distance data, irrespective of the state of the  
Chronograph. This data does not take HRM usage into account.  
GPS Battery Level – This display is only accurate while the watch  
is receiving data from the Speed + Distance Sensor. The voltage  
level of the batteries is displayed in a bar graph format; when the  
battery image is empty, the Speed + Distance Sensor’s batteries  
are critically low. Consider changing the batteries when the bar  
graph shows one remaining segment, as there should be at least  
one hour of battery life left.  
Odometer – This works like the trip odometer in your car. It will  
accumulate distance, irrespective of Chrono usage, until you man-  
ually reset it. The odometer value is not cleared automatically  
between workouts, as is the case with the other distance data, so  
you can use this value to keep track of your total distance over a  
period of a week, month, etc.

1. Press START/SPLIT to start the Timer counting down.  
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.  
2. Press STOP/RESET to stop the countdown.  
3. With the Timer stopped, press START/SPLIT to resume the  
countdown or STOP/RESET to reset the Timer to the start  
time.  
You can press MODE to switch the watch display to any other  
mode, such as Time of Day, while the Timer is running without dis-  
rupting its operation. The Timer icon will appear to indicate that

4. When the timer reaches zero, it sounds an alert. The backlight  
will also activate to allow you to see the watch in a darkened  
environment.  
• If the Timer was set to stop, it will be stopped after the alert.  
• If the Timer was set to repeat, it resets to the start time and  
immediately begins another countdown. It continues repeating  
until STOP/RESET is pressed. The repeat count is displayed in  
the lower line of the display. The watch will count up to 99 rep-  
etitions, after which it will rollover to 0 and continue.

a preset zone for others and not have to re-enter your manual  
settings each time.  
QUICK SET: Alert type (NONE, SILENT, AUDIBLE)  
The watch allows you to set speed or pace limits and set the  
watch to warn you if you are moving too fast or too slowly; this is  
analogous to the heart rate target zone but based on speed  
instead.  
MAX HR (HRMAX  
)
QUICK SET: None  
NOTE: If the limits are displayed in terms of speed (i.e. 4 mph or  
6 kph) then the watch is checking your current speed against  
the zone limit settings. If the limits are displayed in terms of  
pace (minutes and seconds) then the watch is checking your  
current pace against the zone limit settings.  
Enter your Maximum Heart Rate. This value is used to calculate  
your five preset target zones.  
TIP:You can determine your HRMAX either through controlled test-  
ing or by one of the various estimation methods available. One  
widely-used age-based method is 220-age, though this method  
yields results which may not be accurate since HRMAX depends on  
many physiological factors such as fitness level and genetic make-  
up and not simply your age.  
TIP:You can set the speed and pace limits independently. For  
instance, you may set the pace limits to help you control your  
speed for your run and set the speed limits to values that are  
useful for cycling. Then you can simply switch between the set-  
tings when you do each event.

to be slow to respond changes in your speed. Smoothing can be  
applied separately to speed and pace – experiment with these  
settings to see what combination works best for you.  
This feature will enable the Chronograph to automatically take  
splits based on time or distance traveled. While this feature is  
enabled you may still take splits manually and manual splits will  
not effect the criteria for automatic splits.  
Auto-Split Type  
Interval  
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  
When configuring the auto-split feature, the settings are in the  
following order:  
These settings enable the Chronograph to start when you begin  
moving (i.e. your velocity changes from zero to non-zero) and stop  
when you stop moving (i.e. your velocity returns to zero).  
• Type – OFF, BY DIST or BY TIME  
• Interval  
While these features are enabled, you may still start and stop the  
 
Chronograph manually.

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. Carefully follow the steps below:  
1. Place the watch face-down on a flat work surface.  
operation of the watch.  
NIGHT MODE  
QUICK SET: On/Off  
When enabled, the INDIGLO® night-light is turned on whenever  
any button is pressed. NIGHT-MODE®  
operation is automatically disabled after 8 hours.  
HOURLY CHIME QUICK SET: On/Off  
2. Remove both halves of the watch band using a small flat screw-  
driver. Note the orientation of the caseback before proceeding;  
it must be reinstalled in the same orientation or the buzzer  
element will not function after reassembly.  
When enabled, the watch will chime at the top of every hour.  
BUTTON BEEP  
QUICK SET: On/Off  
3. Using a 00 Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the four screws  
that secure the caseback and put them aside. Carefully remove  
the caseback and set it aside.  
When enabled, the watch will emit a beep whenever a button is  
pressed.  
LENGTH UNITS  
QUICK SET: Miles/Kilometers (KM)/  
Nautical Miles (NM)  
DO NOT TURN THE WATCH OVER TO REMOVE THE SCREWS OR  
CASEBACK – THERE ARE SMALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS  
INSIDE THE WATCH THAT CAN FALL OUT. ALWAYS KEEP THE  
WATCH FACE DOWN ON THE WORK SURFACE.  
You can select your preferred unit of distance for speed, pace and  
distance values, either miles, kilometers, or nautical miles. This  
setting also affects the displayed units for any options that process  
speed, pace or distance data. This setting can be changed during  
a workout and the speed, pace and distance statistical data will

7. Replace the caseback making sure that the black gasket  
material is seated in the groove in the case. Also be sure that it  
is aligned properly (as you noted in step #2) so that the buzzer  
will line up with the internal connections.  
8. Carefully reattach the straps. The shorter piece with the buckle  
is attached to the upper set of lugs.  
3. Timex recommends rinsing your watch with fresh water after  
exposure to salt water.  
Common Questions  
Q: When using the Auto-Split “by distance” feature, sometimes the  
distances for the splits are a little less than my setting (e.g.  
“0.244 km” when the setting is “0.25 km”); how can this happen?  
A: This is due to the way the watch uses current speed and dis-  
tance to predict the actual split point in your run. Occasionally,  
the watch will over-estimate, creating a slightly “longer” split  
distance first, followed by a “short” split. This shorter split dis-  
tance is required so that the watch can compensate for these  
slight over-estimations and to prevent them from accumulat-  
ing over the course of your workout.  
So, for the example given here, the previous split should have  
displayed a distance value slightly longer than the Auto-Split  
setting of 0.25 km.  
Q: Why won’t my Hands-Free or Distance Alert features work  
when using just a Heart Rate Sensor?  
INDIGLO® night-light  
electroluminescent  
technology used in the INDIGLO® night-light illuminates  
entire watch face at night and in low light conditions.  
Water-Resistance  
Your 50 Meter Water-Resistant watch withstands water pressure  
up to 86 p.s.i. (equals immersion to 164 feet or 50 meters below  
sea level).  
WARNING: THIS UNIT WILL NOT DISPLAY SPEED AND DISTANCE OR  
HEART RATE DATA WHEN OPERATED UNDER WATER.  
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER RESISTANCE, DO NOT PRESS ANY  
BUTTONS UNDER WATER.  
1. Watch is water-resistant only as long as lens, pushbuttons and  
case remain intact.  
A: These features rely on information provide by the Timex®  
Speed + Distance Sensor.  
2. Even though the watch may be water-resistant to a significant  
depth (100 or 200 meters), it is not a diver watch and should  
 
not be used for diving.  
1-56  
Q: Why don’t I see any information for Overall Time or Distance  
when using just a Heart Rate Sensor?  
1-57  
A: The Overall Time and Overall Distance data are based only on  
data received from the Timex® Speed + Distance Sensor.  
Q: I am already monitoring data from one Timex® sensor and I  
want to also view data from a second one that I just turned  
on. What do I do?  
A: Press and hold the DISPLAY button for about two seconds  
(you must be in Time of Day, Chrono or Timer modes). The  
watch will beep and the antenna icon will flash, indicating that  
the watch is searching for a second Timex® sensor. Within a  
few seconds, the antenna icon should stop flashing and the  
new data should appear on the watch face (you may have to  
press and release DISPLAY to select the new data in Time of  
Day or Timer modes).  
itself, with no action on your part. However, if these messages  
are becoming a problem, here are a few things to try:  
• Keep the watch on the same arm as the Speed + Distance  
Sensor.  
• Check the batteries in the sensors. Low battery voltage will  
reduce the radio transmission power.  
• Reposition the sensor(s) closer to the watch, if possible.  
• Move away from potential sources of interference.  
Q: When using the Heart Rate Monitor function, why do I some-  
times see a flashing question mark or dash marks next to the  
heart rate display?  
A: These are indications that the Heart Rate Sensor is having dif-  
ficulty calculating your heart rate. This may be due to:  
• Poor or loose fit of the Sensor on your chest  
• The Sensor being worn upside-down on your chest  
• The conductive material on the underside of the Sensor is  
not sufficiently moistened  
Q: Occasionally I see “NO DATA FROM HRM” or “NO DATA FROM  
GPS;” what do these messages mean?  
A: These messages will appear on the watch display when the  
watch is not receiving signals from the designated sensor.  
Sometimes these messages pop-up when you might expect  
them, such as a few seconds after you’ve shut your Speed +  
Distance Sensor off, for example. Other times, you might see  
them during your workout unexpectedly. In that case, the  
most common causes of these messages are severe radio  
interference or too much distance between the watch and the  
Q: How can I reduce the SEARCHING time?  
A: The Speed + Distance Sensor will lock to the GPS satellites  
more quickly if you keep motion during this period to a mini-  
mum, and stay in an open area. Also, avoid leaving the Sensor  
on for long periods of time while indoors.  
 
sensor. Most of the time, the watch will correct the problem  
1-58  
1-59  
Q: How often is the GPS data calculated and updated?  
A: The Speed + Distance Sensor calculates your velocity and dis-  
tance traveled once per second, and transmits this informa-  
tion to the watch every 3.5 seconds.
