Timekeeping Mode

The settings you make in the Timekeeping Mode are very important, because they affect the Moon Data, Tide Graph, and Sunrise/Sunset functions. There are three setting screens in the Timekeeping Mode: the Time and Date Setting Screen, DST, GMT Differential, Point Name Setting Screen, and Longitude/Latitude, Lunar Tide Interval Setting Screen.

• For normal timekeeping, you need to set the time, and date, and turn daylight saving time (summer time) on or off.

• To use the Moon Data, Tide Graph, and Sunrise/Sunset functions, you must set the GMT differential, your current longitude and latitude, and the lunar tide interval on your point.

• If you do not operate any button for a few minutes while a selection is flashing, the flashing stops and the watch goes back to the Timekeeping Mode automatically.

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.

To calculate the lunar tide interval

1.Look up the high tide time for the flood tide of the location whose tide changes you want to know.

2. Use this watch to look up the moon up time that occurs immediately before this time.

3.Subtracting the moon up time from the high tide time produces the lunar tide interval.

To set the GMT differential Notes

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

Home time

This watch comes pre-programmed with data for 10 dolphin or whale watching points around the world. The data for each point includes an 8-character point name, GMT differential, longitude and latitude, and lunar tide interval. Setting the current time and date for any of the points causes the time and date settings for all other points to be adjusted accordingly. In the case of DST, however, you must make a separate setting for each point. You can use the following procedure to select any one of the ten points as your home time point.

• See the “PRESET LOCATION CHART” at the back of this manual for details on the locations whose data is preset in watch memory when you purchase it.

To select a point for your home time

• While the point you want to use for your home time is displayed in the Multi-time Mode, hold down

Auto light switch on indicator

• The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.

• The watch will emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is caused by vibration of the EL panel when it is lit. It does not indicate malfunction of the watch.

• The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

To manually turn on the backlight

• In the Timekeeping Mode, press

• The above operation turns on the backlight regardless of the current auto light switch

setting.

About the Auto Light Switch

Turning on the auto light switch causes the backlight to turn on whenever you position your wrist as described below. Note that the auto light switch of this watch will operate only when available light is below a certain level. It does not turn on the backlight under bright light.

• Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery life.

Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it towards you more than 40 degrees causes the backlight to light.

• The backlight turns off in about two seconds, even if you keep the watch pointed towards your face.

• The backlight may not light if the face of the watch is more than 15 degrees off the parallel as shown below. Make sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.

Parallel to ground More than 15 degrees

• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto light switch. If the backlight does not light, try moving the watch back to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back toward you again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again.

• Under certain conditions the backlight may not light until about one second or less after turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate malfunction of the backlight.

Warning!

• Never try to read your watch when mountain climbing or hiking in areas that are dark or in areas with poor footing. Doing so is dangerous and can result in serious personal injury.

• Never try to read your watch when running where there is danger of accidents, especially in locations where there might be vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Doing so is dangerous and can result in serious personal injury.

• Never try to read your watch when riding on a bicycle or when operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Doing so is dangerous and can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.

• When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned off before riding on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.

To turn the auto light switch on and off

In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down on (AUTO

• Frequent use of the auto light switch greatly reduces the charge of the storage battery. If you use the auto light switch often, be sure to leave the watch where it is exposed to sunlight during the day time so it can recharge the storage battery. 10 minutes exposure to sunlight provides enough of a charge for about 10 to 20 auto light switch operations.

• The AUTO turned on.

The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that cause the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark. The watch's auto light switch automatically turns on the backlight when you angle the watch towards your face.

• The auto light switch must be turned on (indicated by the auto light switch on indicator) for it to operate.

Note

• The electro-luminescent panel loses illuminating power after very long use.
