•Be sure to use DST on/off setting to turn daylight saving time (summer time) on and off. Never manually change the timekeeping setting to adjust for daylight saving time. Doing so will produce incorrect Tide Graph and Moon Age.

• The GMT differential is the difference in time between the time zone where you are currently located and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

•See “TIME ZONE CHART” for information about determining the GMT differential in your area.

About the lunar tide interval

The lunar tide interval is the period from the moon's upper transit (moon up) to high tide. If you know the lunar tide interval, tide changes can be determined using the moon age. This watch calculates tide changes according to the current time and the location setting, and displays them graphically.

This watch comes pre-programmed with data for 10 surfing points around the world. The data for each point includes an 3-character point name, GMT differential, longitude, and lunar tide interval. Setting the current time for normal timekeeping causes the time settings for all points to be adjusted accordingly. In the case of DST, however, you must make a separate setting for each point. You can also input GMT differential, longitude, and lunar tide interval on one additional point of your own. The point name for this data is “ORG” and the name cannot be changed.
