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

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

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

HOW TO OPERATE THE NIGHT

VISION™ ELECTRO-

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.
