Operation Guide 3135 3206

Specifying a Reference Altitude

After you specify a reference altitude, the watch adjusts its air-pressure-to- altitude conversion calculation accordingly. The altitude measurements produced by this watch are subject to error caused by changes in air pressure. Because of this, we recommend that you update the reference altitude whenever one is available during your climb.

To set a reference altitude

1.In the Altimeter Mode, hold down E for about two seconds until either OFF or the current

• You can set the reference altitude within the range of –10,000 to 10,000 meters (–32,800 to 32,800 feet).

• Pressing A and C at the same time returns to OFF (no reference altitude), so the watch performs air pressure to altitude conversions based on preset data only.

3. Press E to exit the setting screen.

each dot represents five seconds. After that, each dot represents two

minutes.

Tide/Moon Data

In the Tide/Moon Data Mode, you can see the current tide and the current date’s Moon phase for your Home City. You can specify a date and view tide and Moon data for that date.

•See “Moon Phase Indicator” for information about the Moon phase indicator and “Tide Graph” for information about the tide graph.

•All of the operations in this section are performed in the Tide/Moon Data Mode.

Tide Data

The Tide Graph that appears first when you enter the Tide/Moon Data Mode shows the data at 6:00 a.m. for your currently selected Home City on the current date, according to the Timekeeping Mode. From there you can specify another date or time.

•If the tide data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct them if necessary.

•If you feel that the information shown by the Tide Graph is different from actual tide conditions, you need to adjust the high tide time. See “Adjusting the High Tide Time” for more information.

Moon Data

The Moon phase and Moon age information that appears first when you enter the Tide/Moon Data Mode shows the data at noon for your currently selected Home City on the current date, according to the Timekeeping Mode. After that you can specify another date to view data.

•If the Moon data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct them if necessary.

•If the Moon phase indicator shows a phase that is a mirror image of the actual moon phase in your area, you can use the procedure under “Reversing the Displayed Moon Phase” to change it.

To view Moon Data for a particular date, or Tide Data for a particular date and time

• An out of range measurement result or a measurement error will cause the

column of dots for that measurement to be blank (skipped).

Recalling Altitude Data

In the Data Recall Mode, you can recall and view altitude reading records you stored in the Altimeter Mode, as well as the high altitude record.

•All of the operations in this section are performed in the Data Recall Mode.

Data Screens

The following explains the contents of each of the screens that appear in the Data Recall Mode.

movement in the Moon Phase indicator and the Tide Graph on the display.You can use A and Cto change to another date while a calculation operation is in progress.

To view altitude reading records and the high altitude record

1.Enter the Data Recall Mode.

•After about one second a record with MAX on the top will appear. This is the high altitude record.

2.Use A (+) and C (–) to scroll through the other altitude reading records.

To delete all altitude data currently in memory

• Releasing E at any time while CLR is flashing on the display will cancel the delete operation.

2. Keep E depressed for two seconds.

•The watch will beep to indicate that all of the altitude data stored in watch memory (including readings you stored and the high altitude value) is deleted.

2. While the Moon information (Moon age and phase) and tide information (tide level and tide range for the current date) are displayed, you can press

B(+) to advance the displayed tide range by one hour.

•You also can use A (+) and C (–) to change the date.

•Update of the Moon Phase indicator and the Tide Graph is stopped while any of the following is occurring.

During button operation While an alarm is sounding

While a countdown beeper is sounding During display illumination

During a 2-hour barometric pressure reading operation

Adjusting the High Tide Time

Use the following procedure to adjust the high tide time within a particular date. You can find out high tide information for your area from a tide table, the Internet, or your local newspaper.

To adjust the high tide time

1. In the Tide/Moon Data Mode, use A (+) and

C(–) to select the date you want.
