  • Page 3: Care Instructions

    INTRODUCTION This watch features a magnetic sensor which measures compass directions, providing direction information for hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities. It also includes a regatta timer for measuring race times. In addition, the watch includes current time, daily alarm, chronograph, countdown timer, and dual time functions.

  • Page 4: Watch Functions

    WATCH FUNCTIONS Mode Button (M) - Selects between current time, daily alarm, chronograph, countdown timer, and dual time modes. - Selects between the setting items during setting display. Compass Button (COM) - Selects between compass and timekeeping modes. Start/Stop Button (S/S) - Selects between functional displays under the same mode.

The display shows the "All Zero" display when the chronograph is being selected for the first time or it has been reset. To select Chronograph Mode, press the M button until this mode is displayed.
  • Page 12 Recording the Elapsed Time and Accumulated Elapsed Time From the "All-Zero" display, press the S/S button to start the chronograph. Press the S/S button once again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will appear on the display. Repeat this step to get the accumulative elapsed time.

  • Page 17: Compass Mode

    F) COMPASS MODE Precautions - Keep your watch away from magnets or appliances which may contain magnetic objects, such as mobile phones, speakers, etc. - The watch, like most magnetic compasses, points to the magnetic north, which is slightly different from the true north. - Perform the compass calibration from time to time, since this will reinforce its precision.
  • Page 18 Direction of an Object The direction of an object from a point can be specified in either compass direction or bearing direction. This watch includes both. Compass Directions The compass directions are shown in the table on the next page. For example, in the figure on the next page, the compass direction of object B from point A is east.

  • Page 20 Compass Mode - In compass mode, the top of the display shows the compass direction. - The middle display shows the bearing direction. - The bottom display shows the current time in hour and minute. - The pointer within the display shows the analog direction of the magnetic north.
  • Page 21 Backward Bearing Direction This watch includes a backward bearing function. The backward bearing direction is the opposite direction from the normal bearing direction. When the backward bearing indicator appears, the watch is showing the backward bearing Normal Bearing Direction Backward Bearing Direction direction.
  • Page 22 Checking your Position by Backward Bearing Directions - Spot two distant identifiable landmarks such as mountains, lighthouses, forts, or buildings for your current position (for example, mountains A and - Check the backward bearing directions of mountains A and B from your current position.

  • Page 24 Magnetic Declination The magnetic north is slightly different from the true north. This watch, like most magnetic compasses, points to the magnetic North Pole. On the other hand, everything measured on a map is related to the true north. The angular difference between magnetic and true north is called magnetic declination.

  • Page 26 Magnetic Declination Compensation To compensate an object’s bearing subtract westerly (W) magnetic declination or add easterly (E) magnetic declination from the magnetic bearing. Example 1: Westerly magnetic declination is 23 degrees and the compass Correct the Bearing needle points 323 with Westerly (W) Magnetic Declination degrees.

  • Page 27: Calibrating The Compass

    CALIBRATING THE COMPASS When to Calibrate the Compass This watch should be calibrated when one of the following conditions apply: - The watch is used for the first time. - The battery has been replaced. - The bearing direction digits are flashing, and the "OFF CAL"...

  • Page 29 CALIBRATING THE COMPASS Magnetic Declination Mode - Get the magnetic declination of the city closest to your current position. This angle will be inputted into the watch during the calibration. - To select the magnetic declination display, press the M button in the rotation calibration display.
  • Page 30 Low Battery Detection - When the "low battery" indicator is exhibited on the display, it means that the capacity of the battery is low. - It is recommended that a certified service agent replace the old battery with a new battery. - If the appearance of the "low battery"...
