Timex T025 User Manual

This Timex alarm clock requires 3 “AAA” 
batteries (not included). We recommend using 
a well-known brand of alkaline batteries for 
longer life and best performance.

Press the battery door locking tab in the 
direction of the arrow to remove the battery 
door. Install 3 “AAA” batteries as shown in the 
illustration, making sure the polarity (+ or -) 
matches the diagram.

The clock will ‘beep’ 4 times and the display 
will show “12:00 AM” as the time and 6:00 
AM as the default alarm time.

Replace the battery door.

Three fresh alkaline AAA batteries should operate the clock for up to 1 year.

When the time display begins to fade and the alarm sound becomes weak it is 
time to replace the batteries. Be sure to replace all 3 batteries at the same 
time and do not mix different types of batteries in the battery compartment.

This alarm clock includes a special memory circuit that will maintain your time 
and alarm settings for several minutes even when the 3 batteries are removed 
during battery replacement. If you have 3 new batteries ready to install you 
should not have to re-enter all of your settings after replacing the batteries. 
However if the batteries are removed for a long period of time the internal 
memory will be lost and it will be necessary to reset the time, alarm time, 
snooze duration, backlight color, etc., after the new batteries are installed.

IMPORTANT: Do not leave exhausted batteries in the clock for an extended 
period of time. Exhausted batteries may eventually leak and cause damage to 
the clock itself and possible corrosion damage to the surface beneath the 
clock.

•  Do not mix with used or other battery types/brands,
•  Replace all cells at the same time
•  Do not open batteries
•  Do not dispose of in fire
•  Do not heat above 75ºC (167ºF)
•  Do not expose contents to water
•  Do not charge or recharge
•  Do not install backwards

changing operation will continue indefinitely until you stop it by pressing on the 
top cabinet once more. The color changing will stop and after 5 seconds the 
backlighting will shut off.

Thank you for purchasing this Timex model T025 Alarm Clock. Please read this 
instruction manual carefully and completely to insure that you understand the 
proper operation of your new alarm clock, and that you get the maximum benefit 
from all the advanced features included in this model.

This Timex alarm clock allows you to adjust the length of the snooze operation 
from 1 minute to 60 minutes. The default snooze time is 5 minutes.
To adjust the amount of Snooze time:
1. Depress the SET button for 2 seconds until the time display begins 

flashing, then press the SET button an additional 3 times. The Snooze 
indicator (Z z) and the default snooze time (05) begin flashing in the display.

2.  Press either the “+” or “ – “ buttons to adjust the snooze time setting up or 

down to a maximum of 60 minutes or a minimum of 1 minute.

3.  When the desired snooze time appears on the display you may either 

press the SET button once more to save the new setting as the default 
and return to the correct time, or simply wait 5 seconds for the display to 
stop flashing and return to the correct time. The new setting is now saved 
as the snooze default time and will remain in the memory until you change 
it again.

This Timex alarm clock gives you the option of having the time and alarm time 
displayed in either the 12-hour format with PM indicator or the 24-hour 
format, sometimes referred to as ‘military time’. The default display setting is 
the 12-hour format with PM indicator.

If you wish to change to the 24-hour display format, depress the SET button 
for 2 seconds until the time display begins flashing, then press the SET 
button once more. The “12hr” indicator begins flashing below the time 
display. Press either the “+” or “ – “ buttons once to change the indicator from 
12hr to 24hr. After 5 seconds the display returns to the correct time but the 
time and alarm time will now appear in the 24-hour format. For example, 6:00 
PM will be displayed as “18:00”.

Repeat this procedure to change back to the 12-hour format at any time.

Depress the SET button for 2 seconds until the time display begins flashing, 
then press the SET button 2 more times. The word “OFF” begins flashing in 
the display indicating that the alarm is ‘Off’ (deactivated). Press either the “+” 
or “ – “ button once until the word “ON” is flashing in the display, indicating 
that the alarm is ‘On’ (activated). After 5 seconds the display stops flashing 
and returns to the correct time. However the alarm indicator (((

z))) remains in 

the display.
To deactivate the alarm repeat this procedure until the word “OFF” is again 
flashing in the display. After 5 seconds the display returns to the correct time 
and the alarm indicator (((

z))) disappears. The alarm is now deactivated.

When the alarm is activated it will turn on every day at the same time until it is 
deactivated. The alarm indicator (((

z))) flashes, the alarm sound will continue 

for 60 seconds and then the alarm shuts off automatically and resets itself for 
the following day. During the 60 seconds that the alarm is sounding the 
display backlighting will be cycling through the 7 different color options. To 
stop the alarm sound sooner, press the SET button. The alarm sound stops 
and the alarm resets for the following day.

When the alarm turns on you may press the top of the cabinet to activate the 
snooze function. The snooze indicator (Z z) flashes in the display. The alarm 
sound stops for 5 minutes and then turns on again.
