Timex W273 NA 355-095008-02 manual Compass operation

compass operation

Normally, the compass is inactive, with the 4th center hand pointing to 12 o’clock or showing the chronograph seconds.

While holding the watch level, press C (COMPASS) to activate the compass. The compass hand moves to point north. If the watch is turned, the 4th center hand will continue to move, always pointing north. After 20 seconds, the compass will automatically turn off and the 4th center hand will return to its normal operation. This conserves battery life. Press C (COMPASS) at any time to keep the compass on for another 20 seconds.

The compass may be activated while the chronograph is in use. The 4th center hand merely switches operation temporarily. The upper and lower hands continue to show the chronograph time and all chronograph functions are

available through buttons A (START/STOP) and B (FLY- BACK/RESET).

NOTE: During compass operation, the second hand moves in two-second increments. Also, when the compass is activated, the upper and lower hands may shift position slightly, returning to their proper positions when the compass is deactivated. This operation is normal and yields the most accurate compass reading.
