Getting Acquainted

Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your purchase, be sure to carefully read this manual and keep it on hand for later reference when necessary.

Warning!

The longitude, lunitidal interval, Moon phase indicator, and tide graph data that appear on the display of this watch are not intended for navigation purposes. Always use proper instruments and resources to obtain data for navigation purposes.

This watch is not an instrument for calculating low tide and high tide times. The tide graph of this watch is intended to provide a reasonable approximation of tidal movements only.

CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. assumes no responsibility for any loss, or any claims by third parties that may arise through the use of this watch.

Use the Timekeeping Mode to set and view the current time and date.

The tide graph shows tidal movements for the current date in accordance with the current time as kept in the Timekeeping Mode.

The Moon phase indicator shows the current Moon phase in accordance with the current date as kept in the Timekeeping Mode.

Important!

Moon phase, tide graph data, and Moon/Tide Data Mode data will not be displayed properly unless the Timekeeping Mode current date and time settings and Home Site data are configured correctly. See “Home Site Data” for more information.

Home Site Data

Moon phase, tide graph data, and Moon/Tide Data Mode data will not be displayed properly unless Home Site data (GMT differential, longitude, and lunitidal interval) is configured correctly.

The GMT differential is the time difference of the time zone where the site is located from Greenwich Mean Time.

Note that you must add one hour to the GMT differential for your time zone whenever you change to Daylight Saving Time. Subtract one hour when you change back to Standard Time.

The lunitidal interval is the time elapsing between the Moon’s transit over a meridian and the next high tide at that meridian. See “Lunitidal Interval” for more information.

This watch displays lunitidal intervals in terms of hours and minutes.

The “Site Data List” and “Lunitidal Interval List” provide GMT differential, longitude, and lunitidal interval information around the world.

The following is the initial factory default Home Site data (Tokyo, Japan) when you first purchase the watch and whenever you have the battery replaced. Change these settings to match the area where you normally use the watch.

GMT differential (+9.0); Longitude (East 140 degrees); Lunitidal interval (5 hours,

20 minutes)

If you suspect that the Moon/tide data is not correct for

 

 

 

 

some reason, check the Timekeeping Mode data

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(current time, date, and Home Site settings), and make

 

 

 

 

changes as required.

 

 

 

 

See “Moon Phase Indicator” for information about the
