3.Point the 12 o’clock position of the watch in the direction you want to determine.
4.Press B to start a Digital Compass reading operation.
•After about two seconds, the direction that the 12 o’clock position of the watch is pointing appears on the display.
•Also, four pointers appear to indicate magnetic north, south, east, and west.
•Direction reading continues for the amount of time that is currently specified for the continuous reading time.
•The COMP indicator flashes on the display while a reading is in progress.
•The direction value that appears on the display represents the clockwise angle formed between magnetic north (which is 0 degrees) and the displayed direction.
The Moon phase and tide graph information displayed by this watch differ according to your geographic location. Before using this watch to produce such information, be sure to make the proper city data settings to specify your current location.
•The lunitidal interval is the time elapsing between the Moon’s transit over the meridian and the next high tide. See “Lunitidal Interval” for more information.
•This watch displays lunitidal intervals in term of hours and minutes.
•GMT differential is the difference between the time in the displayed time and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
