1.
Ensure the on/off switch on the back is first in its “off”
position
2.
Remove the 2 pull tabs from the back of the clock.
3.
Turn the switch to “on” only when the clock is in an
upright
position. (Remember to turn the switch to “off” any time the
clock is to be laid flat.)
4.
Once the switch is on the clock will commence its semi-
diurnal (24 hours, 50 minutes and 30 seconds) timer. The
dials and harbour scene will then move in synchronisation
every thirty minutes,
updating the tide level and forecast.
Setting Your Tide Clock
Put simply, you can set your clock to the local tide by holding down
the demonstration button and releasing it when the tide shown on
the clock has moved to the right position.
Preparation:
You will need to start by consulting a tide timetable for accurate
timings. Timetables are usually available in local shops.
Alternatively, go to www.tide-forecast.com and search for
your nearest section of coastline. Once you have accurate tidal
information you can set about aligning the clock dials with the local
tide.
