SETTING THE DATE ON TYPE A
There are two versions on the date setting of a Type A watch. In both versions, the crown is first put in the "MIDDLE" position.

CLOCKWISE
In one version, the crown is rotated slowly COUNTER- CLOCKWISE only; in the other version, the crown is rotated slowly CLOCKWISE. Stop when the desired date appears.
SETTING THE DATE ON TYPE B
Pull the crown to the "OUT" position and rotate the hands slowly CLOCKWISE or COUNTERCLOCKWISE through 24 hours until the desired date appears in the window.
“OUT”COUNTERCLOCKWISE
CLOCKWISE
Once set, the date will have to be advanced in this manner on five occasions during the year (the five months that have fewer than 31 days).
SECTION 6 – ELAPSED TIME RING
If your watch is equipped with a rotatable outer dial with numbers and indicators, this Elapsed Time Ring may be used to indicate the length of time remaining for an activity or the starting time of an activity.
TIME REMAINING – set the outer ring so that the triangle is pointing to the time the activity is to end.
STARTING TIME – set the triangle on the time the activity is to begin.
SECTION 7 – BATTERY REPLACEMENT
One battery provides the power to operate your Timex watch.
TIMEX STRONGLY RECOMMENDS TAKING YOUR WATCH TO A LOCAL RETAILER OR JEWELER TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED. The battery type required for your watch is indicated on the caseback.
CAUTION: DO NOT DISPOSE OF OLD BATTERY IN FIRE OR ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE. KEEP LOOSE BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
