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

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.

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.
