HELPFUL HINTS
Each time you send data to the watch, it erases and replaces ALL previous data, so you always know what is in the watch. Use the watch memory wisely! Longer text fields use up more memory than shorter ones. If you want the watch to hold more entries, use as little text as possible. If you want more text, put in fewer entries. Examples of what the watch will hold: s 38 phone numbers, if the names are 11 characters in length and you have 2 laps of chronograph memory. s 23 phone numbers, if the names are 15 characters in length and you have 50 laps of chronograph memory Refer to the Appendices of the Software Help for details on the following topics: - Importing Data from Other Software - Using your Data on Another PC If several people want to use this software on the same PC, simply install it several times into different directories. Each person will have their own copy. If you want to use the watch with a laptop computer or Windows NT, you need to purchase a Timex Notebook adapter, which is sold separately. Contact your retailer or Timex if you need this adapter. Tutorials are available on the software for using the watch features and for sending data. To take the watch tutorial, simply click on the watch face on the main screen of the software. When installed at the factory, the battery life is estimated at approximately 3 years. Battery life may vary depending on your actual usage. Timex strongly recommends battery replacement be done by a jeweler. For full battery details, refer to Watch Help in the software.
