• Activation : Press the designated altimeter button (refer to your watch's specific button layout).
• En lisant: The watch display will show the current altitude.
• Mémoire: The altimeter can recall minimum and maximum altitudes recorded during a session. Consult your watch's specific instructions for accessing these memory functions.
• Précision: For best accuracy, calibrate the altimeter regularly, especially when significant weather changes occur or when moving to a new location with a known altitude.

2. Fonction chronographe

Your watch includes a chronograph (stopwatch) function for measuring elapsed time.

1. Démarrer/Arrêter : Appuyez sur le bouton poussoir supérieur pour démarrer et arrêter le chronographe.

Entretien

1. Nettoyage de votre montre

Pour préserver l'apparence de votre montre :

• Essuyez le boîtier et le verre avec un chiffon doux et sec.amp tissu.
• Pour le bracelet en caoutchouc, utilisez de l'eau et du savon doux, puis rincez abondamment et séchez.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish.

2. Résistance à l'eau

Your TIMEX Expedition T49795 watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling.

• Important: Ne pas actionner la couronne ni les poussoirs lorsque la montre est mouillée ou immergée dans l'eau.
• Assurez-vous que la couronne est complètement enfoncée avant d'exposer la montre à l'eau.
• Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may eventually be compromised by wear and tear or accidental damage. Have your watch's water resistance checked periodically by an authorized service center.

3. Remplacement de la batterie

When the watch battery needs replacement, it is recommended to have it replaced by an authorized TIMEX service center or a qualified watch technician. This ensures proper sealing for water resistance and correct battery type installation.

Dépannage

• Montre non fonctionnelle :

  Vérifiez que la couronne est bien enfoncée. Si la montre ne fonctionne toujours pas, il se peut que la pile soit à remplacer.

• Date/heure incorrecte :

  Refer to the "Setup" section for instructions on setting the time and date. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting.
• Altimeter Inaccurate:

  The altimeter requires regular calibration. Calibrate it at a known altitude. Significant changes in atmospheric pressure (weather) can affect readings, requiring recalibration.

• Indiglo ne fonctionne pas :

  Ensure the battery is not depleted. If other functions work but Indiglo does not, there might be an internal issue requiring professional service.

• Montre avec eau à l'intérieur :

  If you notice condensation or water inside the watch, immediately take it to an authorized service center. Do not attempt to dry it yourself, as this can cause further damage.
