THERMOMETER
When worn on wrist, thermometer reading is affected by body heat. For more accurate readings, remove watch and put in shade for at least several minutes.
Watch can measure water temperature also, if sub- merged. Be sure to select temperature display before placing watch in water, as buttons should not be pressed when watch is underwater.
Thermometer readings are taken every minute, more frequently, if temperature is changing.
TIDE CLOCK
For tide clock, indicator hand always rotates clockwise, so tide is rising when hand is pointing left and falling when pointing right. Number of hours to next high/low tide is shown on tide scale.
Tides are influenced by sun position and shape of shore- line, so tide clock cannot precisely give times of high and low tides. Periodic adjustment may be necessary.
To set tide clock, pull crown to MIDDLE position. Press either TIDE or TEMP push button to move hand to current tide. TIDE and TEMP push buttons move hand clockwise and counter- clockwise, respectively. Push crown in when done.
COMPASS CALIBRATION
Before use, the compass must be calibrated.
Since a compass uses the earth’s magnetic field, you must be aware of large metallic objects, such as vehicles or bridges, or objects that give off electromagnetic radiation, such as televisions or computers, which could affect the magnetic field around the watch. If the compass is calibrated near such objects, it will only
