How to set the moon phase

The moon phase represents the period from the time when the last new moon occurred to noon of the current day in day increments.

The period between new moons is called a “synodic month,” and its average length is approximately 29.5 days.

1.Press the button using an object with a long tapered tip such as a ballpoint pen.

When the button is pressed, the moon phase advances by one phase.

Round off the number of moon phases to the nearest whole number. (Example; 7.8 8, 24.2 24 )

Refer to the weather report of your lo- cal newspaper for current moon phase information.

Do not set the moon phase between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m., as the moon phase may not change to the correct display on the fol- lowing day.
