3. Datum anpassen: If applicable, rotate the crown in the opposite direction or pull it to a different click position to set the date.
4. Die Krone hineindrücken: Once time and date are set, push the crown back into its normal operating position to start the watch movement.

2. Initial Calibration of Compass, Tide, and Temperature

The Expedition North watch features advanced sensors. For accurate readings, initial calibration is necessary, especially for the compass. Refer to the specific instructions provided with your watch for detailed calibration steps for each sensor. Compass calibration typically involves rotating the watch in a figure-eight pattern or following on-screen prompts if digital.

Betriebsmerkmale

Your Timex Expedition North watch is equipped with a compass, tide tracker, and temperature sensor. These functions are typically accessed and operated using the watch's pushers and crown in specific sequences.

1. Compass Function

• Aktivierung: Press the designated pusher (often marked or colored differently) to activate the compass mode.
• Lektüre: Hold the watch level and allow the compass hand to settle, indicating magnetic north.
• Neukalibrierung: If the compass readings appear inaccurate, recalibrate the compass as per the instructions in the 'Getting Started' section or your watch's specific guide.

2. Tide Tracker

• Einstellung: The tide tracker requires initial setting based on local tide data. Consult a local tide chart for your area and set the tide hand accordingly using the specified pusher/crown combination.
• Überwachung: Once set, the tide hand will indicate the approximate tide status (high, low, rising, falling).

3. Temperatursensor

• Lektüre: Activate the temperature mode using the appropriate pusher. The temperature hand will indicate the ambient temperature.
• Accuracy Note: For the most accurate temperature reading, remove the watch from your wrist for at least 20-30 minutes to allow it to acclimate to the ambient air temperature, as body heat can affect the sensor.

Wartung und Pflege

Die richtige Pflege gewährleistet die Langlebigkeit und Leistungsfähigkeit Ihrer Uhr.

1. Wasserbeständigkeit

• Your watch is water resistant to 100 meters (WR 100M). This rating means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling.
• Wichtig: Die Krone und die Drücker dürfen nicht betätigt werden, solange die Uhr nass oder unter Wasser ist, da dies die Wasserdichtigkeit beeinträchtigen kann.
• Nach Kontakt mit Salzwasser die Uhr mit Süßwasser abspülen und gründlich trocknen.

2. Batteriewechsel

• The watch requires 1 Lithium Metal battery (included).
• When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to have it done by an authorized Timex service center to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

3. Crystal Care

• The watch features a Sapphire crystal, known for its scratch resistance.
• To clean the crystal, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the watch case or strap.

Fehlerbehebung

Sollten Sie Probleme mit Ihrer Uhr haben, ziehen Sie folgende gängige Lösungsansätze in Betracht:

• Ungenauer Kompass: Recalibrate the compass as described in the 'Getting Started' section. Magnetic interference from electronic devices or large metal objects can affect accuracy.
• Hands Not Moving/Stuck: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch has stopped, the battery may need replacement. A hard reset (if applicable to your model) might resolve minor electronic glitches; consult your watch's specific manual for reset procedures.
• Datum bleibt unverändert: Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Uhrzeit korrekt eingestellt ist, insbesondere die AM/PM-Einstellung. Das Datum ändert sich üblicherweise um Mitternacht.
• Wasser in der Uhr: Sollte sich Feuchtigkeit im Inneren der Uhr bilden, bringen Sie diese umgehend zu einem autorisierten Servicecenter. Versuchen Sie nicht, die Uhr selbst zu öffnen.
