Operating the Speed & Distance Watch
Displaying Speed + Distance Data
Press the SPEED/DISTANCE DISPLAY button while standing 6 feet from
other users of this system to begin displaying data. The watch will display
a wave symbol in the upper left part of the watch display. If the Transceiver
is still searching for satellites, the watch shows SEARCHING. Once the
search is complete you can use the Speed and Distance features of the
watch.
Push MODE to scroll through the following modes in this order:
Time of Day • Chronograph • Chronograph Recall • Countdown Timer
• Speed and Distance Monitor • Odometer • Alarm • Options
Automatic Time Correction and Setting:
If the watch is receiving GPS data from the transmitter, the system
automatically corrects the time and sets the date based on the highly
accurate time used by the GPS satellites.
• If you have never set the time on the watch, the system will set the watch
to UTC (Greenwich Mean Time).
• If you have set the time before first using the Transceiver, it will change
your time to UTC time. You may then need to adjust for your time zone.
• If you have adjusted the time since using the Transceiver, the system will
maintain your adjustment and only correct itself for time it has drifted
since you last used the Transceiver. (For example, if you set your watch
five minutes fast, the system will adjust the time so it is exactly five
minutes fast.)
In Time, Chronograph, Timer, and Monitor modes, press SPEED/
DISTANCE DISPLAY button repetitively to view information in this order:
SPEED (current), AVERAGE SPEED, MAXIMUM SPEED, PACE, AVERAGE
PACE, BEST PACE, DISTANCE.
Information in each mode is accumulated independently.
You can manually turn off Speed and Distance data by holding down the
SPEED/DISTANCE DISPLAY button for 2 seconds.

Alarm ON or OFF Setting:
SMOOTHING – This feature makes pace and speed values easier to read
while using the watch by “smoothing” out any small variations in speed.
You might want to enable this feature if you are viewing pace information
and the displayed numbers appear too “jumpy.” Smoothing has no effect
on the accuracy of the data displayed, nor any effect on the distance
accumulated.
In Alarm mode, press START to turn alarm ON or OFF. When Alarm is ON,
an alarm clock icon appears on the watch display in Time of Day Mode.

UNITS – Choose to have the watch display distance and pace based in
Miles, Kilometers (KM) or Nautical Miles (NM). For Nautical Miles, speed
will be displayed in knots (KTs). (Knot=one Nautical Mile per hour).
System Messages
The Timex® Speed and Distance System is a sophisticated system. During
operation messages on the watch will help you maximize the system’s
performance.
ZONE ALERTS (Speed or Pace) – This feature is only available on the
100-Lap model.
SEARCHING – The GPS Transceiver has just been turned on and is search-
ing the sky trying to acquire signals from enough satellites to function
accurately. If the watch displays SEARCHING for too long, try moving to a
more open outdoor area, move away from metal objects, or try new batteries.
ZONE ALERTS will sound if you are outside a zone defined by a minimum
and maximum value for speed or pace (one or the other, not both
simultaneously). You may also turn this feature off.
DISTANCE ALERTS – This Feature is only available on the 100-Lap model.
WEAK GPS SIGNAL – The GPS Transceiver is losing its signals from the
satellites. Move to an area that is more open and free of metal objects.
DISTANCE ALERTS allow you to have the watch alert you when you have
traveled a set distance value. Note that this alert will sound only if the
Chronograph is running and the watch is receiving speed and distance
information form the Transceiver. The alert repeats until it is turned off.
If the signal is weak or totally lost for short periods of time, the system has
a technique to maintain reliable speed and distance information.
To conserve battery power, the Transceiver will shut off if it does not detect
any movement or cannot acquire satellites after 15 minutes.
INDIGLO® night-light
Press INDIGLO button to activate light.
RADIO LINK BROKEN – The watch is no longer receiving any speed and
distance data from the Transceiver over the radio link. Check to make sure
that the Transceiver is powered up and that the watch is not more than 1
meter (about 3 feet) away from it.
Electroluminescent technology used in the
INDIGLO night-light illuminates entire watch face at night and in low light
conditions. Press and hold INDIGLO button for 3 seconds, until watch
beeps, to activate NIGHT-MODE®. Once
activated, any button pushed will cause the INDIGLO night-light to stay on
for 3 seconds. NIGHT-MODE will stay activated for 3 hours or until you
deactivate it by pressing and holding INDIGLO button again for 3 seconds.
RADIO LINK NOISY – The watch is having difficulty receiving speed and
distance data. Make sure the watch is within 1 meter of the Transceiver.
Move away from sources of electrical interference like power lines, motors,
exercise equipment, etc. Change the orientation of the Transceiver from
vertical to horizontal or vise versa.
FATAL GPS ERROR – The GPS Transceiver is damaged. Contact Timex
customer service.
