The AMANDA-II neutrino telescope is an array of optical sensors which detect Cherenkov light emitted by passing charged particles. Reconstruction of the trajectories of these particles depends crucially on the measurement of relative arrival times of the Cherenkov photons at each detector. This, in turn, requires precise knowledge of the travel delay times for signals from each sensor. Currently, AMANDA uses a laser system to calibrate these times. We have implemented a new method using down-going muons which supplements and may eventually replace the existing calibration procedure. Our studies of this method indicate that it is robust and able to achieve the precision required by our reconstruction algorithms.
