when necessary.
• The longitude, lunitidal interval, Moon phase indicator, and tide graph data that
appear on the display of this watch are not intended for navigation purposes.
Always use proper instruments and resources to obtain data for navigation
purposes.
• This watch is not an instrument for calculating low tide and high tide times. The

Home Site Data
Moon phase, tide graph data, and Moon/Tide Data Mode data will not be displayed
properly unless Home Site data (GMT differential, longitude, and lunitidal interval) is
configured correctly.
• The GMT differential is the time difference of the time zone where the site is located
from Greenwich Mean Time.
• Note that you must add one hour to the GMT differential for your time zone
whenever you change to Daylight Saving Time. Subtract one hour when you change
back to Standard Time.
• The lunitidal interval is the time elapsing between the Moon’s transit over a meridian
and the next high tide at that meridian. See “Lunitidal Interval” for more information.
• This watch displays lunitidal intervals in terms of hours and minutes.
• The “Site Data List” and “Lunitidal Interval List” provide GMT differential, longitude,
and lunitidal interval information around the world.
• The following is the initial factory default Home Site data (Tokyo, Japan) when you
first purchase the watch and whenever you have the battery replaced. Change these
settings to match the area where you normally use the watch.
GMT differential (+9.0); Longitude (East 140 degrees); Lunitidal interval (5 hours,
20 minutes)
Use the Timekeeping Mode to set and view the current
time and date.
• The tide graph shows tidal movements for the current
date in accordance with the current time as kept in the
Timekeeping Mode.
• The Moon phase indicator shows the current Moon
phase in accordance with the current date as kept in the
Timekeeping Mode.
Important!
• Moon phase, tide graph data, and Moon/Tide Data
Mode data will not be displayed properly unless the
Timekeeping Mode current date and time settings and
Home Site data are configured correctly. See “Home
Site Data” for more information.

Configuring the Countdown Timer
The following are the settings you should configure before actually using the
countdown timer.
Countdown start time and reset time
Timer mode (auto-repeat, elapsed time)
Progress beeper on/off
• See “To configure the countdown timer” for information about setting up the timer.
Reset Time
You can set a “reset time,” which is a kind of alternate countdown start time you can
recall with the press of a button any time a countdown operation is in progress.
Timer Mode
The countdown timer gives you a choice of two modes: auto-repeat and elapsed time.
Auto-repeat
Auto-repeat mode automatically restarts the countdown from the countdown start time
you set whenever zero is reached.
• Auto-repeat mode is best when timing the starts of match races.
• Even if you start a countdown operation from the reset time, the countdown
automatically restarts from the countdown start time whenever it reaches zero.
• Auto repeat timing repeats up to seven times.
Elapsed Time
When the end of the countdown is reached in the elapsed time mode, the timer
automatically switches to an elapsed time measurement operation.
• The elapsed time mode is best when timing the speed of yachts during ocean races.
• The elapsed time operation is performed in one-second increments up to 99 hours,
59 minutes, 59 seconds.
Countdown Timer Beeper Operations
The watch beeps at various times during a countdown to so you can keep informed
about the countdown status without looking at the display. The following describes the
types of beeper operations the watch performs during a countdown.
Countdown End Beeper
The watch beeps each second of the final 10 seconds before a countdown reaches
zero, and at zero. The first five beeps (seconds 10 through 6) are higher pitched than
the final five beeps (seconds 5 through 1). The watch emits a longer beep to signal
when the countdown reaches zero.
• The countdown end beeper always sounds, regardless of the on/off status of the
progress beeper.
Progress Beeper
The progress beeper actually includes two beepers: a reset time beeper and a reset
period progress beeper.
• The reset time beeper and reset period progress beeper sound only while the
progress beeper is turned on.
Reset Time Beeper
The reset time beeper is similar to the countdown end beeper. When the progress
beeper is turned on, the watch beeps each second of the final 10 seconds before the
countdown reaches the reset time.
Reset Period Progress Beeper
The reset period is the portion of the countdown between the reset time and zero.
When the progress beeper is turned on, the watch emits four short beeps at the top of
each minute during the reset period, and 30 seconds before the end of the
countdown.

To configure the countdown timer
The countdown timer can be set within a range of one
minute to 60 minutes. An alarm sounds when the
countdown reaches zero. The countdown timer has two
modes: auto-repeat and elapsed time, and a progress
beeper signals the progress of the countdown. All of this
makes the countdown timer a valuable tool for timing the
start of a yacht race.
• All of the operations in this section are performed in the
Countdown Timer Mode, which you enter by pressing
C.
