Watch messages
When using the Watch with the Fitness Sensors, the Watch may
display messages to communicate the status of the Sensor in
conjunction with the Watch. Messages include:
❖
SEARCHING The GPS-3D Sensor is still trying to link to GPS
data. You cannot view speed, pace, distance, or positional
information until the Sensor locates GPS satellites.
❖
WEAK GPS SIGNAL The GPS-3D Sensor lost its link with GPS
satellites. The GPS-3D Sensor operates more accurately in more
open areas (such as an area without a lot of tree or cloud cover)
and at quicker speeds.
❖
NO DATA FROM HRM (GPS) The Watch is not receiving data
from the HR or the GPS-3D Sensor. Ensure that the Sensor is not
more than 3 feet (1 meter) away from the Watch, is operating, or
has not inadvertently locked onto someone else’s Sensor. The
Watch will attempt to establish a connection for one minute after
this message displays.
❖
NOISY DATA FROM HRM (GPS) The Watch is experiencing
radio interference. Try to move away from any potential sources
of interference (for example, televisions, monitors, or motorized
devices). The Watch will attempt to establish a connection for 30
seconds after this message displays.
❖
FATAL GPS ERROR The GPS-3D Sensor has encountered a
severe internal error. Contact Timex Customer Service.

• If you want to stop monitoring data from your Bodylink
®
sensors,
hold the DISPLAY button down until the message HOLD TO
SHUT OFF RCVR is displayed on the watch display. Continue
holding the DISPLAY button for a few more seconds; the watch
will beep indicating that the radio link between the watch and the
sensors has been shut down.

TIP: If you are already viewing data from one sensor, for example,
the Heart Rate Sensor, and you wish to also view data from the
Speed + Distance Sensor, simply press and hold the DISPLAY
button until the watch emits a short beep and the antenna icon
begins flashing. The watch is now searching for a second
Bodylink
®
sensor. When it detects this second device, the antenna
icon will stop flashing and the display may change to a new
format that includes the new information. Press and release the
DISPLAY button (as detailed previously) to view various
combinations of two sensor’s data.
