***OFFSET – Entering the correct OFFSET makes the watch point to True North,
OFFSETS vary for different places. To find the offset for your specific location please
log on to...or see some common offsets we have listed on below.
NOTE: For accurate compass readings you re-calibrate your compass regularly or
after it has come into contact with strong magnetic forces. Eg: An airplane trip or
long distance travel in a car or train.
ALSO NOTE: After calibration, compass readings should be taken away from large
metal objects and appliances. Eg; TV, Fridge, computer, car and etc.

There are SEVEN modes of operation. By depressing the MODE button there
is a visual indication of what function has been chosen, just check out the
boxes in the middle of the screen.
NT Normal Time: The display shows hour in 24hr Military time or in AM &
PM, minute, second, month, date, day of week, moon phase and & tide
conditions all till 2099.
Note : Moon Phase information is factory preset, as long as you have correct local time, date and year, the moon phase will be correct for your area.
Daylight Saving Time: By simply pushing and holding for 5 seconds the START/
STOP (STR/STP) button, the normal time can be advanced one hour to show
Daylight Saving time. By pushing and holding for 5 seconds the START/STOP
button again, it will revert back to standard time.
AL Alarm Mode: By choosing a time, an alarm will sound each day at the
preselected time. The alarm is a strong chime and can be immediately shut
off by pushing any button or will automatically shut off after 30 seconds.
TM Countdown Timer: A countdown timer with duration from 1 second to

To change your watch strap use a pin or paperclip
to gently push the solid pins through the case
pin holes.
At the same time, carefully pull on the strap
until the bar releases.
When fitting your new strap ensure the bars are
seated well by tugging on both ends before you

life. But despite other’s claims, real leather cannot be made 100% waterproof. Don’t wear leather in any water.
For water use, replace your leather strap with a suitable waterproof rubber
or velcro strap, Stainless Steel Straps are waterproof.

pin to insert. Fig.3
5. Firmly press the pin back into place using a
hard object. Next lightly tap the pin fully into place.

Recommended Usage Table & Testing
100M / 330ft - Suitable for Water Sports. eg. Surfing, Snorkelling,
200M / 660ft - Suitable for Water Sports. eg. Surfing, Snorkelling,
Rip Curl watches are tested to the highest industry standards with the best
Swiss pressure testing equipment and are purpose built for Surfing !
NOTE : All Industry standards watch testing is done to an overpressure
situation in a static laboratory environment and does not signify a diving
depth. See recommended usage table.
Due to the fact that Surfing is in no way a static sport there are influences
that can effect a watches ability to keep water out. eg : Frequent temperature
changes, salt water and big wipeouts can diminish the longevity of the watches
rubber seals.
To keep your watch in peak condition for Surfing we recommend every 24
months you have your watch seals replaced and fully tested at the Rip Curl
Watch Service Centre. (See page 71 for contact details.)
RIP CURL PTY. LTD. assumes no responsibility for any loss, or any claims by
third parties that may arise through the use of this watch.
