How to calibrate timex compass - Timex Expedition E Tide Temp Compass wristwatch

There is a process to make an all reset. After the reset try again. The user user manual can be downloaded from Timex. Make very sure the watch is absolutely flat and far from metal objects. Even being near most furniture can effect the reading because they can have metal springs. Many homes have a lot of metal in their construction. It's best to calibrate the compass out doors away from power wires or cars or anything metal. On the street you can have metal under the pavement.

If this does not work call Timex. There have been instances where the compass module or sensor had to be changed. I have the same watch. It's a very good one.

Low battery can cause this type of fault! Make sure after changing the battery to do the all reset inside of the watch. If this does not work get in contact with Timex for how to have their watch sent for service.

Hello i Managed to find a PDF Manual for your Timex T3B881. To view you must have Adobe reader installed this can be downloaded from here. The Manual can be downloaded from here.

compass calibration starts on page 8 and compass operation starts on page 12

Hi,

First, assuming you do not have the manual, following the notes below, find an outdoors location away from any medal building, obstructions, etc. You must calibrate the compass to get anywhere near the +/- 10 degrees accuracy readings claimed.

Timex has two ways to find information about your particular watch. If you don't have the manual, Try this link:

Now, look up the model number, or if you cannot find that, check the three-digit Module Number from the back of the watch. Click on it in the Module Table, and download a PDF of your watch setting-instructions/manual.

I hope this helps you. Thanks, Bill

i would advise you to contact timex customer services .

For Compass Adjustment search on Google or FixYa

For Temperature calibration:
1. Pull the crown to most extended position (2 notches)
2. Temp hand moves to a default position
3. Move hand in + or - direction by pressing temp or tide buttons (above and below crown button)
4. When done, push crown to 0 position
(I used melting ice water to calibrate and fix to 0 deg C)

For Tide calibration:
1. Pull crown to middle position (1 notch)
2. Move hand in + or - direction by pressing temp or tide buttons (above and below crown button)
3. When done, push crown to 0 position

Hope this helps
