4: Time Mode
This watch has dual time (two time zones) and 12 or 24 hour timekeeping displays. Be sure
to correctly configure the current time, date and local data before using the functions of
the watch. The Time Mode display shows current time (hours, minutes, seconds), calendar
(month, day & date) and moon phase. You will need to acquire information specific to
your location in order to set the watch properly: GMT Time Zone, Latitude, Longitude and
Lunitidal Interval.
To set the time and other data:
• Press Button A to enter TIME mode (T1).
• Press and Hold Button C to begin to move thru the setting menu. Each selection will flash
on the display.
• Push button B to adjust the setting (hold down Button B to scroll more quickly)
• Push Button C to confirm the setting and move onto the next step.
1. Select 12 or 24 hour display format
7. Adjust Month
2. Select DST (Daylight Savings Time)
8. Adjust Date
3. Adjust Seconds
9. Adjust Day of Week
4. Adjust Minutes
10. Enter GMT Time Zone
5. Adjust Hour (small A or P appears
11. Adjust Latitude

12. Adjust Longitude

13. Adjust Lunitidal Interval
6. Adjust Year
• Push Button A when setting is complete. Based on the data input, the watch will
automatically calculate the moon phases, tides and fishing favorability times for each day.
• From Time Mode, Press Button C to vary the bottom portion of the display:
• Day, Month, Date (Example: We 215 = Day of Week: Wed / Month: Feb, Date: 15th)
• Year, Month, Date (Example: 120215 = Year: 2012 / Month: February/Date: 15th)
• Sunrise & Sunset times
• A Second Time Zone (T2) is available and optional - it is not necessary to set it up in order
to have the timepiece function properly. PLEASE NOTE: the watch memory only holds
one set of GMT, Latitude, Longitude and Lunitidal data. If you set this data for a
second time zone (T2) after it is entered for T1 it will override T1 data.
• In Time Mode (T1), press and hold Button B to toggle to T2.
• Follow the same setting instructions above Steps 1 thru 9 to set the second time zone.
5: Tide Data
Since Tide data will vary specific to location, it is essential to enter correct GMT, Latitude,
Longitude and Lunitidal Interval in order for the watch to give accurate information.
Lunitidal Interval is the average time difference between when the moon passes over a time
meridian and the following high or low tide. Theoretically, high tide is at the Moon's transit
over the meridian and low tide is about 6 hours later. Actual high tide occurs somewhat
later due to factors such as viscosity, friction and underwater topography. When setting the
Lunitidal interval for this watch, use the time differential between the moon's transit over
the meridian until high tide. There is chart provided of some major US cities for reference.
From TIME Mode, Press Button A to enter TIDE Mode.
• Display shows current time and tide prediction.
• Press button C to jump forward 30 minutes.
• Press Button B to go back 30 minutes.
• Press and hold the button B or C button to fast forward
or fast backward.
• It can take a couple seconds for the tide data to load when the day changes.
6: Fishing Time / Moon Phase Indicator
The best fishing times calculation for this watch is based on the movement of the sun,
moon and tides that can affect fish feeding behavior. The principle supposes that during the
month, the most feeding action can be expected on the day of the New Moon and Full Moon.
PLEASE NOTE: Many factors aside from moon and solar movement can affect fish behavior
including water temperature and weather; therefore, this watch predicts favorability, but
does not guarantee that fish are present in your location and feeding during the times
indicated.
7: Fish Mode
From TIME Mode, Press Button A two times until FISH Mode is displayed.
• The display will automatically cycle thru 5 displays showing favorable conditions at 5
different times of the day:
Current Time
Upper Transit
Moon Set
(-1)
(-2)
On a daily basis, the watch predicts that the best fishing conditions will occur at the upper
transit and lower transit as shown on the table below. Less favorable conditions occur at
the west and east transit times. The level indicator (number of fish on the display) shows
the relative favorability of a fish feeding time. The scale is from 0 Fish indicating less
favorable conditions to 4 fish indicating most favorable fishing time.
• Press Button C to advance the date forward (Press and hold to fast forward)
• Press Button B to show back dates (Press and hold to fast backward)
8: Sunrise / Sunset Data
Sunrise and Sunset Data is based on the location setting entered in TIME Mode. If you do
not have access to GMT, Latitude, Longitude and Lunitidal data for your location, use the
site data chart to find a city close by. PLEASE NOTE: the watch memory only holds one
set of GMT, Latitude, Longitude and Lunitidal data. If you set this data for a second
time zone (T2) after it is entered for T1 it will override T1 data.
• To display Sunrise & Sunset Data, From TIME Mode, Press Button C. (You may need to
Press Button C twice as there are three different display options in TIME Mode). Sunrise
and Sunset times will automatically scroll every 2 seconds.
• To return to TIME Mode, Press Button C.
