Setting the Time and Date

This watch is preset with UTC differential values that represent each time zone around the globe. Before setting the time, be sure to set the UTC differential for your Home Site first, which is the location where you normally will be using the watch.

• Note that World Time Mode times are all displayed based on the time and date settings you configure in the Timekeeping Mode.

Home Site Data

Moon phase, tide graph data, and Tide/Moon Data Mode data will not be displayed properly unless Home Site data (UTC differential, longitude and lunitidal interval) is configured correctly.

• The UTC differential indicates the time differential with Greenwich, England.

• 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.

• 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/Lunitidal Interval Data List” 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.

UTC differential (+9.0); Longitude (East 140 degrees); Lunitidal interval (5 hours, 20 minutes)

Countdown Timer

You can set the countdown timer within a range of one minute to 24 hours. An alarm sounds when the countdown reaches zero. The countdown timer also has an auto

repeat feature and a progress beeper that signals

the progress of the countdown.

Auto-repeat

When auto-repeat is turned on, the countdown restarts automatically from the countdown start time when it reaches zero. If left running, the countdown is repeated a total of eight times, after which it stops automatically. 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

The watch beeps at various times during a countdown 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 countdown end beeper lets you know when the countdown reaches zero.

• When the progress beeper is turned off, the countdown end beeper sounds for about 10 seconds, or until you press any button to stop it.

• When the progress beeper is turned on, the countdown end beeper sounds for about one second.

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.
