Timekeeping Mode Moon Data Mode
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.
• Any time you change a setting on one of the three setting screens, exiting the
setting screens causes the graphics at the top of the display to perform an animated
pattern for a few minutes while the watch calculates data.
To set the time and date
• Use this screen to set the current time and date, to
Hour : Minutes Seconds
reset the seconds to 00, and to toggle between 12-hour
Tide graph
and 24-hour timekeeping.
Moon graph 1. In the Timekeeping Mode, check if the DST indicator is
displayed, and change the DST setting in accordance
with the timekeeping in your area.
• Turn on DST if daylight saving time (summer time) is
currently in effect in your area. If daylight saving time is
not currently in effect in your area, be sure to turn DST
off.
• See "DST, GMT Differential, Point Name Setting
Screen" for details about turning DST on and off.

seconds are reset to 00 and 1 is added to the minutes. If the second's count is in
the range of 00 to 29, the minute's count is unchanged.
5. While any other digits (besides seconds), are selected (flashing), press E to
increase the number or B to decrease it. Holding down either button changes the
current number at high speed.

• The date can be set with the range of January 1,1995 to December 31, 2039.
6. After you are finished making the settings you want, press A to advance to the
DST, GMT Differential, Point Name Setting Screen. To return to the normal
Timekeeping Mode screen, press A three times.
DST, GMT Differential, Point Name Setting Screen
Use this screen to switch DST (daylight saving time or

• Use C to move the flashing to the GMT differential value.
Important!
• Be sure to use this procedure to turn daylight saving time (summer time) on and off.
Never manually change the timekeeping setting to adjust for daylight saving time.
Doing so will produce incorrect Moon Data, Tide Graph, and Sunrise/Sunset data.
To set the GMT differential
• The GMT differential is the difference in time between the time zone where you are
currently located and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
• See "TIME ZONE CHART" for information about determining the GMT differential in
your area.
1. Press E to increase the value or B to decrease it. Holding down either button
changes the setting at high speed.
2. Use C to move the flashing to the first character of the point name.

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.
MULTI-TIME MODE
To view point data
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, press B to enter the Multi-time Mode. The first point
that appears is the one you selected as your home (Timekeeping Mode) point.
2. Press B to scroll through the data for the 10 points. The watch beeps and returns
to the Timekeeping Mode after the tenth point.
• Pressing C at any time in the Multi-time Mode immediately returns to the
Timekeeping Mode.
• You can use the procedure under "DST, GMT Differential, Point Name Setting
Screen" and "Longitude/Latitude, Lunar Tide Interval Setting Screen" to
change the name and other data of a point.
Press B.
This watch comes pre-programmed with data for 10 surfing 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" 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 E for about two seconds.
