Weather Forecasting

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. If the air pressure trend is falling, then the weather situation is worsening and is indicated by showing the clouds and/or precipitation symbols. The weather forecast is always visible in TIME and BARO modes and visible in ALTI mode when no altitude changes are detected.
Notes on calibrating the Altimeter and Barometer

The watch relies on a sensitive electronic sensor to measure the air pressure and temperature. This sensor must be calibrated periodically to maintain the high degree of accuracy you expect from the watch. What is calibration? Calibration is simply a technique to improve the accuracy of the pressure/temperature sensor, primarily by compensating for local temperature and weather effects. The watch employs two related methods of calibration, using either sea level pressure or the local altitude as a reference, depending on the watch mode used for calibration. How often should I calibrate? Timex recommends that you calibrate the sensor prior to any activity where you will be using the altimeter feature

CONDITIONS

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. BARO mode calibrates the sensor based upon the sea level air pressure, while ALTI allows you to calibrate the sensor by telling the watch about your current altitude. Calibration performed in either mode will calibrate the sensor for all modes. For the best accuracy, we recommend that you choose only one calibration method each time you calibrate the sensor, based on the most accurate
reference source available. For example, if you are standing at a trail head and know the correct altitude, then the most accurate calibration will be obtained by calibrating within ALTI mode (since it relies on altitude as the reference). However, if you dont know your altitude, you can find out the current sea level pressure (published online or in a newspaper) and calibrate the sensor within BARO mode. For example, the U.S. weather service publishes the sea-level pressure for all of its stations at http://www.weather.gov

Temperature Accuracy

When worn on your wrist, the thermometer reading is affected by body heat and may report a temperature different from the actual air temperature by 10 degrees or more. Long periods of exposure to direct sunlight may also affect the accuracy. Try wearing the watch outside your
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.
(in the lower display line) and the weather forecast (at the top of the display).

Setting Time of Day

Refer to section entitled Setting Operation on page 11 to understand how the buttons function during setting. You may set the following values for Time of Day: Hour, Minute, Seconds, Year, Month, Date, Date Format, Time Format, Hourly Chime.

TIME - Time of Day Mode

In this mode you may view the current time and date in either of two time zones and switch between them. The time can be displayed in 12- or 24-hour format. In addition to the time of day, the watch can display the current barometer (air pressure) value or the current temperature
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. The watch will automatically adjust for leap years up to 2049. When the hourly chime is enabled, a confirmation beep will also be generated whenever a key is pressed.

Using the Dual Time Zone feature
The watch can keep track of the time for two zones (T1 and T2). By default, T1 is the primary time zone (the one that you can see) and T2 is the secondary time zone (the one you cant see). The indicator for the primary time zone is shown in the lower left of the display.
Viewing the secondary time zone
You may temporarily view (or peek at) the secondary time zone by briefly pressing and holding the STOP/RESET button. While you are peeking at the secondary time zone, its indicator (T1 or T2) will flash in the lower left-hand side of the display. When you release the STOP/RESET button, the watch will display the time for the primary time zone once again.

Switching time zones

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.

BARO - Barometer Mode

Want a better understanding of the forces that influence the weather? This is the mode to do just that here you can view the current air pressure (local and sea level), monitor the current temperature and study the changes in air pressure over time, presented in a graphical format. Finally, the weather forecast for the next 4 - 6 hours is shown at the top of the display.
Viewing Temperature and Air Pressure Data
While in TIME mode, press and release the START/SPLIT button to view the following information on the lower line of the watch display: The current air pressure The current temperature The month and date
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.
When viewing the Time of Day, Sea Level Pressure and Temperature group, press STOP/RESET to toggle temperature display units (F or C). NOTE: Unit selection made for temperature and barometric pressure in BARO mode applies to all modes in the watch. For example, if you select C for the temperature display in BARO mode, it will also appear in C in Time of Day and Altimeter modes.

Calibrating the Barometer
Calibration in BARO mode allows you to synchronize the weather forecasting feature with the current weather situation and also to calibrate the pressure sensor for improved accuracy. Refer to section entitled Setting Operation on page 11 to understand how the buttons function during setting. Refer
Selecting Pressure and Temperature Units
When viewing the Temperature, Sea Level Pressure and Local Pressure group, press STOP/RESET to toggle barometric pressure display units (inches of mercury [inHg] or millibars [mbar]).
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. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until for each flashing value until the pressure is set as intended. 6. Press SET to complete calibration.
What is Sea Level Pressure?
Sea Level Pressure is simply the air pressure for a specific location adjusted to account for the air pressure difference due to the altitude of the location. Because very few places on the earth are actually at sea level, this adjustment factor was devised to allow for easy comparison of air pressure values from place to place. For example, without this compensation, a pressure reading of 29.5 inHg in Denver, CO would not mean the same as the same reading in Miami, FL due to the large difference in altitude. Meteorologists would have a very difficult time measuring the change in the weather as fronts move across the land masses if there was no way to compensate for the altitude effects. So, whenever you see a barometer value published online or in a newspaper, it is always the pressure adjusted for the altitude of the measuring station.
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 a couple of seconds, the watch will display the following data, in the order shown, for two seconds each: The highest recorded altitude (indicated by HIGH in the lower display line). The total accumulated positive altitude changes (indicated by ACC in the lower display line).

ALTI - Altimeter Mode

This mode provides altitude and temperature information to make outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking and trail running more enjoyable. The watch will keep track of the highest altitude you achieved as well as accumulate all of the positive altitude changes you experience. These statistics are visible when you first enter ALTI mode.
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.

Altimeter Performance

When ALTI mode is first entered, the watch will update the altitude information every two seconds and will continue this fast data update rate for thirty minutes. After thirty minutes elapses, if the watch determines that the altitude is no longer changing significantly, it will reduce its data update rate to that of the barometer function (every 2.5 minutes). At that point, two things will happen: 1. The weather icons will appear in the upper part of the display indicating the forecast. 2. The watch will stop data accumulation for the ACC and HIGH statistics. The watch will continue to monitor the air pressure at this slower rate and, if it determines that the altitude is changing significantly, it will go back to faster update rate. If this change occurs, the weather icons will be removed from

Selecting Altitude Units

While viewing the current time, altitude and temperature data, press STOP/RESET to switch units between feet (FT) and meters (M).

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. Also refer to the section entitled Notes on calibrating the Altimeter and Barometer on page 15 for general information regarding calibration. For proper calibration, adjust the CAL value to reflect your actual altitude. The CAL value can be set to a value from -2296 ft (-700m) to +26520 ft (+9000m).
1. Press and hold SET until the word CAL appears in the upper line of the display and the sign of the calibration value is flashing. 2. Press START/SPLIT to adjust the sign (positive for altitudes above sea level, negative for altitudes below). 3. Press MODE to move on to adjusting the current altitude value. 4. Using START/SPLIT (to increase) and STOP/RESET (to decrease), adjust flashing value. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each value of the calibration altitude. 6. Press MODE to move on to enable clearing of the HIGH data value. HIGH will be flashing in the upper line; the current value for the highest altitude will be displayed. 7. Press and hold START/SPLIT to clear the value, if desired.
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 youd 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. In the event you take more than thirty laps, the watch will store timing information for the first thirty.

track, the lap time would be the time for one lap around the track, assuming that you push the START/SPLIT button as you cross the start/finish line each time. Split Time: The elapsed time from the start of the workout, sometimes called the total time. Taking a Lap: Marking the end of one segment (or lap) and the beginning of another by pressing START/SPLIT while the Chronograph is running. Also called taking a split.

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. Setting the Countdown Timer Refer to section entitled Setting Operation on page 11 to understand how the buttons function during setting. You may set the following values for the Countdown Timer:
Setting the Timer to ONCE will cause the Timer to stop after it completes its countdown; selecting REPEAT will cause the Timer to repeat the countdown indefinitely until the Timer is manually stopped. The Timer can be set to a maximum time of 23:59.59 (24 hours). Using the Countdown Timer Press and release MODE until you see TIMER on the display. Press START/SPLIT to start the Timer, press STOP/RESET to stop it. You may press START/SPLIT to resume the countdown, or press STOP/RESET once again to reset the Timer to the original countdown time.
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.

ALARM - Alarm Mode

The watch includes five independent daily alarms to help you coordinate your schedule. Setting an Alarm Refer to section entitled Setting Operation on page 11 to understand how the buttons function during setting. You may set the Hour and Minute value for each Alarm. If the watch is displaying time in AM/PM format, be sure to set the hour value to the correct part of the day (AM or PM). The Alarm is automatically armed if you change the Hour or Minute value during setting.

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.
Backup Alert When the Alarm time arrives, the watch will generate an alert for 20 seconds. You may press any button on the watch to silence this alert. If you dont silence the alert, the watch will assume that you missed that Alarm time and will automatically enable a backup alert, indicated by a flashing icon on the display, which will sound five minutes after the Alarm time.
