After replacing a battery in a timex ironman with data link, they tell you to short the ac pad and the vss pad. Were are those points located?

I had the low battery indicator come on every morning for well over a year before the battery actually went dead! I had the low battery indicator come on every morning for well over a year before the battery actually went dead!

Interesting observation. I had sent in a watch to the Timex repair service for a new battery and it came back with a Low Batt indicator on it. I wonder if not resetting it was the cause. Regardless, thanks for this picture. Even under magnifiers, I couldn't find anything labeled with the letters"AC" and "VSS". Interesting observation.

Thanks for this excellent picture. I have replaced the battery in my datalink USB many times without any issue. This time, however, the watch would not beep (no button beep, no alarm, etc.) after I replaced the battery. Resetting the watch by shorting these two pads solved that problem. BTW, AC pad is labeled on my watch, but VSS pad did not have a label I could see, unless it is under the battery. Thanks for this excellent picture.
