LIMITED WARRANTY

The Basic Coverage: This TIMEX Quartz Digital L.C.D. (liquid crystal display) watch
(but not any battery, lens, band or strap) is warranted to the owner for a period of
ONE YEAR from the date of purchase against defects in manufacture by Timex
Corporation - not by the dealer from whom the watch was purchased.

What Timex Will Do: If this watch develops such a defect within the one year period,
it will be repaired (i.e., a new or thoroughly reconditioned and inspected module will
be installed) or replaced ( a watch of equal value and similar appearance will be
supplied) at our option, provided it is returned with a $5.00 check or money order to
cover costs of postage, handling and service, and you provide proof of purchase and
date of purchase.

This Limited Warranty Does Not Cover:

Timex will not repair defects related to servicing not performed by Timex
Corporation or a Timex Authorized Service Center.

Timex will not provide any warranty service if your watch shows evidence that it
has been tampered with, misused, abused, or altered; for example:

•

moisture damage sufficient to affect the proper function of the watch;

•

damage to the case; or

•

visible cracking of the lens.

Timex reserves the right to charge you for a replacement battery, if the battery in
your watch is depleted. No additional charge will be made unless the one year
warranty period has expired or servicing is necessary for reasons beyond our
control, in which case a moderate charge will be made.

TIMEX IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental,
special or consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not
apply to you.

Your Rights Under Implied Warranties and State Law: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS
IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESSED WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES.
TIMEX LIMITS THE DURATION OF ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY STATE LAW,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO ONE YEAR
FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. Some states do not allow limitations on
how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This
warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state.

Care of Your Watch:

•

Avoid exposing your watch to water, steam, or other forms of moisture if it is non-
water-resistant.

•

If the lens becomes damaged, have it replaced at once to avoid damage to the
module.

•

When your battery is depleted, have it replaced promptly. The particular type of
battery required is indicated on your caseback. You can get them from your local
Timex retailer.

Service of Your Watch:

If your TIMEX watch should ever need servicing, send it to Timex addressed as
follows: HOTLINE WATCH SERVICE

time, start a tracer through the originating post office. NEVER INCLUDE A SPECIAL
WATCHBAND OR ANY OTHER ARTICLE OF PERSONAL VALUE IN YOUR SHIPMENT.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE MAY SUBSTITUTE A WATCH OF EQUAL VALUE AND

REG. U.S. PAT. & TM. OFF.

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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: After replacing the battery, be sure to press the reset switch if
indicated on the battery clamp.

If your watch should ever fail to operate correctly, you can attempt to reset it without
removing the caseback, by pressing all buttons at the same time.

CAUTION: DO NOT DISPOSE OF OLD BATTERY IN FIRE OR ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE.
KEEP LOOSE BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

When installed at the factory, the battery life in this Timex watch is estimated to last
approximately 3 years. This estimate is based on the alarm being used once per day for
ten seconds and the light once per day for one second. Battery life may vary depending
on your actual usage experience. The use of NIGHT-MODE

, which causes the

INDIGLO

night-light to activate for three seconds with any button press, may reduce

battery life.
