FLEXTIME EXPLANATION

WHAT IS FLEXTIME?

FLEXtime is a feature that enables your watch to receive the time and date through the pager to automatically:

Set and maintain the correct time and date

Change the time for daylight savings time

Change to local time as you travel to different time zones, if you desire

HOW DOES FLEXTIME WORK?

WATCH SETTINGS

The following

MFunctions are available from the

I

F time of day mode.

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.“

Remember, FLEXtime only works when the pager is on and you are in SkyTel‘s coverage area.
