Automatic Tide System
Easily set to thousands of beaches world wide to perpetually display graphic tide and moon phase conditions.
DESCRIPTION OF MODES & FUNCTIONS
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 99 hrs, 59 minutes, 59 seconds is easily selected. It can be started and allowed to count down; or it can be stopped and restarted. At the end of the countdown a full chime sounds for 30 seconds. Note : At the end of the
OCEANTIDE DIGITAL

countdown the timer automatically starts to count up from zero. This new function is to advise you how much time has elapsed since the alarm went off.
CH Chronograph (Stop watch) with lap memory:
A chronograph/stop watch (count-up timer) will count in 100th of a second from 0 to 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds. Simply push the START/STOP to commence and stop the chronograph. Then push and hold the LAP/RESET button for 3 seconds to reset to 00:00:00.
FT Future Tide: Based upon correctly programmed local High Tide infor­mation, the OCEANTIDE watch will provide a graphic display of the Tide conditions and Moon Phase for any day and time till 2099. So you can see what the Tide and Moon are doing to help plan your surf trips and holidays.
NOTE: It is also in this mode that you program your local High Tide informa­tion. See the setting of local High Tide section.
DT Dual Time: This function is very useful should you travel away from home
to another time zone. We recommend you program the DT setting to your home time and date, and program your NT setting to the new time zone actual time and date. (You must do this if you want your daily alarm to work correctly for the time zone you are in.)
FT2 Future Tide TWO: Again, based upon correctly programmed local High Tide information, the OCEANTIDE watch will provide a SECOND graphic dis­play of the Tide conditions and Moon Phase for any day and time SET IN DUAL TIME (till 2099). So you can see what the Tide and Moon are doing to help plan your surf trips and holidays. NOTE: It is also in this mode that you
program your local High Tide information for the DT area. See the setting of DT area High Tide section.
LIGHT FUNCTION: In any MODE you can simply push the LIGHT button and the
whole screen will light up and stay on for 3 seconds.

LEATHER / PU STRAPS
To Change Your Strap:
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 wear your watch.
Note: Rip Curl leather straps are made of the finest oiled leather for long 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.

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.
