• For larger monitors try up to 24" away.
• Your arm may be horizontal or vertical.
• Timex Data Link transfer works best in a
well-lit room with a bright monitor.
Successful Transmission (READ THIS!)
When the watch is receiving data, it will
beep periodically. Then, upon successful
completion of the transmission, it will give
one long beep. Then for 4 seconds the
watch will display:
If you don't get this message, the
download was not completed properly.
If an error occurs during transmission,
the watch will sound an alter nating
tone, similar to a European siren. Try
sending again with your arm positioned
at a different distance from the screen.
If you cannot transmit successfully, refer
to the Watch Guide topic: If the PC and
Watch do not communicate.
