There are seven modes of
operation: TIME, TEMP, TIDE,
BEACH, HEAT, CHRONO and
ALARM.These are sequentially
arranged in a cycle.
HOW TO SET TIME, DATE AND
24-HOUR FORMAT
From TIME mode: press and hold
the EL/SET button for approximately
three seconds to enter the time
setting mode. The setting will be
done in a cycle of sequences
beginning with CHIME, HOUR,
MINUTE, SECOND, 12/24 hour
format, YEAR, MONTH-DAY/ DAY-
To view future tide press S4 button
to advance one day. Hold down the
button to advance the dates faster.
The return to the current date
press S3.
BEACH MODE
From TIME mode, press S2 three
times to enter the BEACH mode.
This mode shows the current
location of the tide reading as well
as upcoming tide information. You
can select through five different
locations by pressing S4.
To set your location press S1 for at
least three seconds until the wave
graph turns off. Press S3 to toggle
between the preset and custom
location settings. Under preset
mode, press S4 to select from the
30 preset locations stored. Once
this is set press S2 to move on to
setting the time difference. Since a
formula is used to predict the
tide times, they are average data
which are not affected by more
recent weather conditions. Compare
this tide data with more recent and
certified versions like that provided
by NOAA (National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration). If there
is a great variance between the tide
datas you can adjust the time
difference by pressing S3 or S4.You
can adjust this up to +/- 99 minutes.
If you want to choose a custom
beach setting toggle S3 until Custom
1 shows on the screen. There are
five spaces available for custom
location. You would need to find the
high tide time and date of the specific
location you want to input. Press S2
to enter the tide setting mode. The
setting will be done in a sequence
of: HOUR, MINUTE, YEAR,
MONTH, DAY and LOCATION. To
type in the location name press S4
to select the letter and press S3 to
move to the next space. To move
back select the arrow symbol then
press S3. Once everything is set
press S1.This process can be
repeated to set the rest of
the locations.
HEAT TIMER MODE

button four times to enter the
HEAT timer mode.
There are four sequential countdown
timers and one independent timer
for you to set.There are preset
values on them but this could be

want to use press S3. To start and
stop the countdown press S4. To
reset to the preset value or 0
press S3.
To change the preset values press
S1 for three seconds until the hour
numbers flash. Press S3 or S4 to
adjust to the desired setting.
To proceed to the next HEAT press
S1. After you have confirm all preset
values you can adjust the number
of repititions (RP) in HEAT 4. Press
S1 to exit the setting mode.
To start or stop the countdown,
press S4 button to reset press S3.

HOW TO OPERATE THE NIGHT
VISION™ ELECTRO-
LUMINESCENT BACKLIGHT
Press the EL/SET button to activate
the Night Vision™ electro-
luminescent backlight. The light will
remain illuminated for approximately
five seconds.
MONTH format, DATE and Daylight
Savings Time (DST).
The chime setting will start first.
Press S3 to turn the chime on or off.
Press S2 to move on to the next
setting sequence then press S3 or
S4 to adjust. Once the setting is
completed press S1 to exit this mode
and return to normal time.
To view the second time zone (T2),
simply press the S4 button.Holding
this down for at least four seconds
will switch you between T1 and T2.
TEMPERATURE MODE
In TIME mode, press the MODE
button once to enter the
TEMPERATURE mode. The
temperature sensor is located on
the right side of the watch case. The
sensor reads ambient temprature,
which is an average of body, air or
water temperature.
The accuracy of this sensor is +/-
1.8ºF if the reading is between 23ºF
and 122ºF and +/-3.6ºF if the reading
is below 23ºF and over 122ºF.
Pressing S4 shows the offset
temperature reading in row 1. This
can be applied to offset your body
temperature when it is worn on
your wrist.
To adjust the values and offset press
down S1 for at least three seconds
until the temperature unit flashes.
Select between FHT for farenheit
or CEL for celsius. Pressing S2
moves you on to the offset
setting.Press S3 or S4 to adjust the
reading.
The concept of offsetting can be
best explained with an example.
Wear the watch on your wrist and
wait for at least 10 minutes until the
sensor factors out your body heat.If
the temperature reads 10 ºF above
the mercury thermometer then this
means that your body (and other
internal watch components) causes
the watch to be10 ºF warmer. 10ºF
is the value that you would be
offseting.
TIDE MODE
From TIME mode, press S2 twice
to go to TIDE mode. Rows 2 and 3
indicates the tide times for the day
including the ones that have past.
The wave graphic in row 4
corresponds to the tide times in
row 3.
