To set the compass on a Timex watch, based on the provided reference, you follow a specific sequence involving the watch's crown and push buttons. This process is related to activating the compass feature and potentially setting the declination angle.
Here is a breakdown of the steps:
- Prepare the Watch: Begin by keeping the watch level.
- Pull the Crown: Pull the crown out to the middle position.
- Activate Compass Mode: Press the push button designated for the "compass."
- (Optional) Set Declination: The reference implies that after step 3, you might interact with the watch to set the declination angle, though the exact method is not detailed in the provided text.
- Exit Compass Mode: Once you are finished, continue keeping the watch level and press any push button on the watch.
- Finalize: If you chose not to set the declination angle in step 4, simply push the crown back in.
These steps initiate and conclude the process for using or setting the compass feature as described in the reference. This process is distinct from calibrating the compass, which might involve a different set of steps depending on the specific Timex model.
Here's a quick summary table:
| Step | Action | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Keep Level | Ensure watch is horizontal | Prerequisite for compass function |
| 2. Pull Crown | Pull crown to the middle position | Enter compass/setting mode |
| 3. Press Compass Button | Press the dedicated compass push button | Activate compass reading or setting feature |
| 4. (Optional) Set Declination | (Details not provided in reference) | Adjust for magnetic variation (if needed) |
| 5. Press Any Button | While level, press any push button | Exit compass mode |
| 6. Push Crown In | Push crown back in (if no declination set) | Finalize exit from setting mode |
Following these steps allows you to engage and disengage the compass functionality or setting mode on your Timex watch as outlined in the reference.
