To change from one display format to
another, press S1 button once.
In date/time display format,
the primary time day and date are shown
in the top of the display; the time in hours,
minutes and seconds is shown in the bot-
tom of the display. The data is shown in the
Date and Time Formats of the displayed
Time Zone, which are set in this mode
along with the date and time.
If there is previous and upcoming tide data,
the left-hand part of the display shows
the tide status for the currently selected
tide location. Otherwise, no graphic is
displayed.
In tide/time display format,
the display is identical to the date/time
format except that the next tide (high or
low) for the currently selected tide location,
the time of the next tide, and its height are
shown in place of the day and the date. The
tide time is shown in the same format as
the primary time. The Tide Height is shown
in the current Tide Height unit selected.
If no previous or upcoming tide data is
available, this format shall be unavailable
and the format shall revert to date/time.
In big time display format,
only the hours and minutes of the primary
time are shown, no AM/PM indication.
A shark fin animation shall occur once per
minutes. For even minutes, the fin shall
move from left to right one dot column at
a time, and for odd minutes, the fin shall
move from right to left.
The big time display format is included only
if the Big Time Option is on.
NOTE: The current tide level and direction
(rising or falling) shall be presented by a
tide status graphic, which is represented by
an arrow head two dots high and three dots
wide. The steps shall appear as follows:
In displays 1 through 10, the tide is rising;
while in display s 11 through 20, the tide
is falling. When the time of day advances
to the minute after the time of high tide,
display 11 is shown; when the time of day

low tide, the sequence repeats beginning
with display 1.
