Microsoft Outlook 2000

SUMMARY

The Timex Data Link Watch produced by Timex Corporation receives information exported from Microsoft Outlook. The Timex Data Link Watch Wizard in Outlook makes it easy to export appointments, tasks, phone numbers, anniversaries, reminders, and current time and time zone information.

MORE INFORMATION

To export information to your Data Link Watch, you must know which model you have. There may be no model number on the watch itself. The simple visual difference is in the material used for the case. The Timex Data Link Watch Model 100 case is made of lightweight resin. This is shown as Timex Data Link Watch in the Wizard. The cases for Models 150 and 150s are made of metal.

Another way to determine the model you have is by identifying a number imprinted on the watch case back. The code is located near the bottom of the case back. The codes for the various models are:


   786     Model 70    Timex Data Link Watch (supported in Outlook with
                       version 2.1d of the Datalink software, downloadable
                       from the Timex Web site, below)
   2025NA  Model 100   Timex Data Link Watch
   802     Model 150   Timex Data Link 150 Watch
   763     Model 150s  Timex Data Link 150s Watch
   816     No Model #  Ironman Triathlon with Data Link Watch

An additional method is to put the watch in COMM MODE. To do this, press the MODE BUTTON (middle button on the right side of the watch) repeatedly, until the watch displays "COMM MODE". The watch display will change momentarily and show one of the following examples:


   Model 100    --------
               |  comm  |
               | ------ |
               | READY  |
               |        |
                --------

   Model 150    --------
               |  comm  |
               | ------ |
               | READY  |
               |  v2.0  |
                --------

   Model 150s   --------
               |  comm  |
               | ------ |
               | READY  |
               |  v2.1  |
                --------
