The measurement functions built into this watch are not intended for use in
taking measurements that require professional or industrial precision. Values produced by this watch should be considered as reasonably accurate representations only.
The longitude, lunitidal interval, moon age 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
tide graph of this watch is intended to provide a reasonable approximation of tidal movements only.

In the Timekeeping Mode, press D to toggle between 12-hour timekeeping and 24-hour timekeeping.
With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears to the left of the hour digits
for times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears to the left of the hour digits for times in the range of midnight to 11:59 a.m.
With the 24-hour format, times are displayed in the range of 0:00 to 23:59, without
any indicator.
The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is
applied in all other modes.
Daylight Saving Time (DST) Setting
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving 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” (page E-43) for more information.
This watch displays lunitidal intervals in terms of hours and minutes.
The “Site/Lunitidal Interval Data List” at the back of this manual provides UTC
differential and longitude 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.

Progress Beeper
When the progress beeper is turned on, the watch uses beeps to signal countdown progress as described below.
Starting from five minutes before the end of the countdown, the watch emits four
short beeps at the top of each countdown minute.
30 seconds before the end of the countdown, the watch emits four short beeps.
The watch emits a short beep for each of the last 10 seconds of the countdown.
If the countdown start time is six minutes or greater, the watch emits a short beep
for each second of the final 10 seconds before the five-minute point is reached. Four short beeps are emitted to signal when the five-minute point is reached.

Configuring the Countdown Timer
The following are the settings you should configure before actually using the countdown timer.
Countdown start time; Auto-repeat on/off; Progress beeper on/off
See “To configure the countdown timer” (page E-29) for
information about setting up the timer.
Auto-repeat
When auto-repeat is turned on, the countdown restarts automatically from the countdown start time when it reaches zero. When auto-repeat is turned off, the countdown stops when it reaches zero and the display shows the original countdown start time.
Pressing D while an auto-repeat countdown is in progress pauses the current
countdown. You can resume the auto-repeat countdown by pressing D, or you can press A to reset to the countdown time starting value.
Countdown Timer Beeper Operations

Reference
This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch operation. It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and functions of this watch.
Moon Age
The Moon goes through a regular 29.53-day cycle. During each cycle, the Moon appears to wax and wane as the relative positioning of the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun changes. The greater the angular distance between the Moon and the Sun,* the more we see illuminated.
* The angle to the Moon in relation to the direction at which the Sun is visible from
the Earth.
This watch performs a rough calculation of the current Moon age starting from day 0 of the moon age cycle. Since this watch performs calculations using integer values only (no fractions), the margin for error of the displayed Moon age is ± 1 day.
E-41
Tidal Movements
Tides are the periodic rise and fall of the water of oceans, seas, bays, and other bodies of water caused mainly by the gravitational interactions between the Earth, Moon and Sun. Tides rise and fall about every six hours. The tide graph of this watch indicates tidal movement based on the Moon’s transit over a meridian and the lunitidal interval. The lunitidal interval differs according to your current location, so you must specify a lunitidal interval in order to obtain the correct tide graph readings. The tide graph displayed by this watch is based on the current Moon age. Remember that the margin for error of the Moon age displayed by this watch is ± 1 day. The greater the error in a particular Moon age, the greater the error in the resulting tide graph.
Lunitidal Interval
Theoretically, high tide is at the Moon’s transit over the meridian and low tide is about six hours later. Actual high tide occurs somewhat later, due to factors such as viscosity, friction, and underwater topography. Both the time differential between the Moon’s transit over the meridian until high tide and the time differential between the Moon’s transit over the meridian until low tide are known as the “lunitidal interval”. When setting the lunitidal interval for this watch, use the time differential between the Moon’s transit over the meridian until high tide.
Button Operation Tone
Mute indicatorMute indicator
Holding down C to turn the button operation tone on or off also causes the watch’s
current mode to change.
The mute indicator is displayed in all modes when the button operation tone is
turned off.
The button operation tone sounds any time you press one of the watch’s buttons. You can turn the button operation tone on or off as desired.
Even if you turn off the button operation tone, the
alarms, the Hourly Time Signal, the countdown alarm, and stopwatch auto start all operate normally.
To turn the button operation tone on and off
In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), hold down C to toggle the button operation tone on (mute indicator not displayed) and off (mute indicator displayed).

Auto Return Features
If you leave the watch in the Alarm Mode or Tide/Moon Data Mode for two or three
minutes without performing any operation, it changes to the Timekeeping Mode automatically.
If you leave a screen with flashing digits on the display for two or three minutes
without performing any operation, the watch exits the setting screen automatically.
Scrolling
TheB and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll operation scrolls at high speed.
Initial Screens
When you enter the World Time or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.
E-46
World Time
The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current time in the Timekeeping
Mode using UTC time differential values.
Illumination Precautions
The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is
due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate malfunction.
Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
E-48
UTC
The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a
reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.
The letters UTC is the abbreviation for Coordinated Universal Time, which is the
world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s rotation.
Timekeeping
Resetting the seconds to while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59
causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are reset to
The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.
