Using the Time Channel
Your watch comes with three channels - Time, Messages, and Calendar - that
are available for use even before you activate the MSN Direct service. The Time
Channel is fully operational and ready to go. The Messages and Calendar channels
have limited capabilities until you activate and personalize MSN Direct. The
Messages channel is available for emergency and public service announcements,
and the Calendar channel includes a month view calendar. Once you activate MSN
Direct, you can receive messages from others, view personal appointments, and
view an events calendar for the things that interest you, such as sports schedules,
financial events, and local cultural events. You can also subscribe to a number of
additional channels, such as news, weather, stocks, and sports.
This guide provides instructions for using the Time channel. For instructions on
using the other channels - including Messages and Calendar - go to the MSN
Direct Web site at www.direct.msn.com and click the Help link.
Before you activate MSN Direct, you also see the Register channel on
your watch. This is a temporary channel that displays the information you need to
activate the service, including the MSN Direct Web site address and your watch
ID. The watch ID is a number that uniquely identifies your watch so that you
receive your personal messages and information. The Register channel disappears
from your watch when you activate MSN Direct.
