How much data can be stored
in the Timex Data Link watch?
The original Timex Data Link watch
will store up to 70 entries in any combination of the four databases.
The four databases are appointments, anniversaries, phone numbers and
to-do lists.
The Timex Data Link 150 watch
will store up to 150 entries. Alarms, time settings, WristApps, and Soundthemes
do not affect available memory.
The Timex Ironman* Triathlon®
watch with Data Link system will store up to 40 entries.
What is considered one entry?
1 Appointment entry = Date + Time
+ 15 character message
1 Anniversary entry = Date + 15
character anniversary message
1 Phone Number entry = 15 character
name and 12 character phone number
1 List entry = 15 character list
item
The Timex Data Link 150 watch
supports 31 character message lengths. However, there may be a tradeoff
between number of entries and number of characters per entry. Memory in
the Timex Data Link watch is allocated dynamically.
Can I enter information directly
into the watch without a computer?
You can manually enter alarms
(with eight-character message), time settings, and time zone code. All
other information must be sent from the computer.
Can I append data to that already
in the watch?
Every time data is sent to the
watch all selected data is sent, replacing any previously stored data.
This way the software can keep track of the amount of data that can be
stored in the watch. If you would like to send data from two different
locations (e.g., home and work), you must keep your data files updated
between the two locations.
Can I send information from
watch to PC?
It is not currently possible to
send information from watch to PC. The Timex Data Link system is currently
receive only.
Will the Timex Data Link watch
work with other Personal Information Manager (PIM) software?
Yes. Timex Data Link software
has been licensed and incorporated into Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows
95, Microsoft Outlook, and NetManage Ecco Pro 4.0 Other PIM's may incorporate
the software in the future.
Can I import data into the
Timex software from other PIM's?
Yes, the Timex
Data Link software imports files in a CSV (comma separated value)
file format. See the Timex Data Link Software help file appendices for
detailed information on importing from other PIM's.
Can I export my data from the
Timex Data Link software to Microsoft Schedule+ 7 or Outlook?
Because Microsoft Schedule+ 7
and Outlook provide direct compatibility for the Timex Data Link watch,
there is no link between the Timex and Microsoft software.
Do appointments get deleted from
the watch when they have expired?
Expired appointment entries will
remain in the watch for reference purposes until you re-send data to the
watch. When you send information, your new appointments will clear out
the old ones and the next occurring appointment will display.
Of course, you can individually
delete appointments on the watch by pressing the SET/DELETE button while
an appointment is displayed.
How do I delete LIST entries
from the watch?
List entries are marked DONE when
the SET/DELETE button is pressed. To completely remove an entry, delete
it from the software or disable the send option for that entry.
Do appointments get deleted
from the watch when they have expired?
Expired appointment entries
will remain in the watch for reference purposes until you re-send data
to the watch. When you send information, your new appointments will clear
out the old ones and the next occurring appointment will display.
Of course, you can individually
delete appointments on the watch by pressing the SET/DELETE button while
an appointment is displayed.
Is there any kind of security
built into the Timex Data Link watch? I’d like to put my PIN numbers
and credit card numbers in the watch but I don’t want others to be
able to access those numbers.
Other than the watch being physically
on your wrist, there is no security per se. However, if you use an entry
in the Phone Number or List field, you could simply leave off the first
or last number, enter it backwards, or disguise your information as some
other type of data.
