The Timex
®
Speed and Distance System is a sophisticated system. During
operation messages on the watch will help you maximize the system’s
performance.
SEARCHING
– The GPS Transceiver has just been turned on and is search-
ing the sky trying to acquire signals from enough satellites to function
accurately. If the watch displays SEARCHING for too long, try moving to a
more open outdoor area, move away from metal objects, or try new batteries.
WEAK GPS SIGNAL
– The GPS Transceiver is losing its signals from the
satellites. Move to an area that is more open and free of metal objects.
If the signal is weak or totally lost for short periods of time, the system has
technique to maintain reliable speed and distance information.
To conserve battery power, the Transceiver will shut off if it does not detect
any movement or cannot acquire satellites after 15 minutes.
RADIO LINK BROKEN
– The watch is no longer receiving any speed and
distance data from the Transceiver over the radio link. Check to make sure
that the Transceiver is powered up and that the watch is not more than 1
meter (about 3 feet) away from it.
RADIO LINK NOISY
– The watch is having difficulty receiving speed and
distance data. Make sure the watch is within 1 meter of the Transceiver.
Move away from sources of electrical interference like power lines, motors,
exercise equipment, etc. Change the orientation of the Transceiver from
vertical to horizontal or vise versa.
FATAL GPS ERROR
– The GPS Transceiver is damaged. Contact Timex
customer service.

watch shows SEARCHING. Once the search is complete you can use the
Speed and Distance features of the watch.
