FLEXTIME EXPLANATION  
WATCH SETTINGS  
WHAT IS FLEXTIME?

HOW DOES FLEXTIME WORK?  
Your watch automatically begins listening for FLEXtime data as soon as you put a  
battery in it. The FT icon flashes. Your watch may set itself in a matter of minutes.  
If FLEXtime is not yet available in your area, you must set your watch manually.  
Your watch is preset to display local time which may change as you travel to  
other time zones. Both time zones will be set to the same time. You may change  
these settings to a different time zone (see page 9 ”set watch time”). If you don‘t  
want the time on your watch to change as you travel, or if your watch sets itself to a  
time zone other than your own, you will have to select a specific time zone to display,  
other than ”Local.“

BATTERY  
MEMORY BACK-UP  
ABOUT THE BATTERY  
INFORMATION BACKUP WHEN CHANGING A BATTERY:  
The battery is a size 675 common zinc-air hearing aid battery, not a watch battery.  
Expected battery life will vary depending on watch and pager usage. Battery life is  
approximately 2 months.  
When you remove and replace the zinc-air battery in the Timex Internet  
Messenger watch, your valuable settings and messages are preserved by a  
special data back-up feature in the memory of the watch. So, time of day and  
date and alarm settings and messages are automatically saved:  
675 battery cell recommended.  
1. Once per day, or  
BATTERY INDICATORS  
”Lo Battery“:  
2. When you lock/unlock a message, or  
Lo Battery will appear on the face of the watch every 2 seconds to  
indicate the battery is running low. Some of the watch‘s non-pager  
functions will be disabled, such as the INDIGLO night-light and all alerts will be  
shortened. You will continue to receive pages and be able to read them. The watch  
will continue to operate in this condition for a limited time after the appearance of  
the ”Lo Battery“ message.  
3. When you read any message or change a pager setting when  
"LO BATTERY" is displayed on the watch display when in time of day  
mode, or  
4. When you change an alarm or time setting.  
What to do if ”Lo Battery“ appears:  
Install a new battery as soon as possible following the instructions illustrated on page 2.  
Please try to replace your battery within a minute to ensure time of day accuracy.  
However, even if it takes several minutes or hours to replace the battery, the  
FLEXtime feature (if available in your area), will correctly set time and date once  
the battery is installed. Allow approximately 4 minutes for FLEXtime to update  
your time.  
Important: Remove expired cells promptly to avoid leakage.

WATER RESISTANCE  
Your Timex Internet Messenger Watch is rated to be“Splash-Resistant.”Because the  
battery needs air to function, there is an air hole in the battery cover that will be  
compromised by submersion and water pressure. You may wear the Internet  
Messenger Watch in the shower, in the rain, while washing hands… but, like most  
pagers and cellphones, it is a sensitive communications device that you would not  
expect to use underwater.  
RECOMMENDED USAGE  
Yes  
No  
Splash resistant  
Timex strongly recommends that you do not submerge the Internet  
Messenger Watch. If, however, the watch is accidentally submerged to a depth of  
10 meters or less, please remove the battery cover and the battery, and allow the  
battery compartment to dry out. Then install a new battery. Your Internet Messenger  
Watch should continue to function properly.  
Rain resistant  
Hand washing  
Showering

Please refer to the chart (right) for recommended usage.  
Note: Timex watches are not designed, and should not be used for diving.
