• Lektüre: The watch display will show the current altitude.
• Erinnerung: The altimeter can recall minimum and maximum altitudes recorded during a session. Consult your watch's specific instructions for accessing these memory functions.
• Genauigkeit: For best accuracy, calibrate the altimeter regularly, especially when significant weather changes occur or when moving to a new location with a known altitude.

Wartung

1. Reinigen Sie Ihre Uhr

Um das Aussehen Ihrer Uhr zu erhalten:

• Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp Tuch.
• For the rubber strap, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish.

2. Wasserbeständigkeit

Your TIMEX Expedition T49795 watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling.

• Wichtig: Die Krone und die Drücker dürfen nicht betätigt werden, wenn die Uhr nass oder in Wasser eingetaucht ist.
• Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Krone vollständig eingedrückt ist, bevor Sie die Uhr Wasser aussetzen.
• Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may eventually be compromised by wear and tear or accidental damage. Have your watch's water resistance checked periodically by an authorized service center.

3. Batteriewechsel

When the watch battery needs replacement, it is recommended to have it replaced by an authorized TIMEX service center or a qualified watch technician. This ensures proper sealing for water resistance and correct battery type installation.

Fehlerbehebung

• Uhr läuft nicht:

  Prüfen Sie, ob die Krone vollständig eingedrückt ist. Falls die Uhr weiterhin nicht läuft, muss möglicherweise die Batterie ausgetauscht werden.

• Falsche Uhrzeit/falsches Datum:

  Refer to the "Setup" section for instructions on setting the time and date. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting.
• Altimeter Inaccurate:

  The altimeter requires regular calibration. Calibrate it at a known altitude. Significant changes in atmospheric pressure (weather) can affect readings, requiring recalibration.

• Indiglo funktioniert nicht:

  Ensure the battery is not depleted. If other functions work but Indiglo does not, there might be an internal issue requiring professional service.

• Wasser in der Uhr:

  If you notice condensation or water inside the watch, immediately take it to an authorized service center. Do not attempt to dry it yourself, as this can cause further damage.
