COMPASS SETTING (ONLY AVAILABLE IN ULTIMATE OCEANSEARCH STYLE)IMPORTANT: Before use and for accurate readings the Compass MUST be calibrated.NOTE: Accurate calibration is best done outside or at least away from strong magneticforces such as computers, refrigerators, TV’s or other large metal objects.

To calibrate for MAGNETIC NORTH.- Press MODE/SET to advance to Compass mode.-HOLD MODE/SET in for 2 seconds and OFFSET appears in the display.NOTE: No offset is required when calibrating for Magnetic North.- To continue calibration press MODE/SET. Your watch will instruct you to TURNCW. This means, take the watch off, hold it level, and rotate it SLOWLY in a clockwisedirection. It will take one minute of slow clockwise rotation to complete the calibration.Once the calibration is complete DONE will appear in the screen and then the compassdirection will appear.- Use the arrow on the top of the watch case to find your direction.- To conserve battery life, after 60 seconds the Compass will revert to TIDE/TIME/DATE MODE.

To calibrate for TRUE NORTH an OFFSET is required.***See below.Enter your OFFSET by using START/STOP or LAP/RESET then press MODE/SET tocontinue calibration. Your watch will instruct you to TURN CW. This means, take thewatch off, hold it level, and rotate it SLOWLY in a clockwise direction. It will take oneminute of slow clockwise rotation to complete the calibration. Once the calibrationis complete, firstly DONE will appear in the screen and then the compass directionwill appear.- Use the arrow on the top of the watch case to find your direction.- To conserve battery life, after 60 seconds the Compass will revert to TIDE/DATE/TIME MODE.

NOTE: For accurate compass readings you re-calibrate your compass regularly orafter it has come into contact with strong magnetic forces. Eg: An airplane trip orlong distance travel in a car or train.ALSO NOTE: After calibration, compass readings should be taken away from largemetal objects and appliances. Eg; TV, Fridge, computer, car and etc.

CHARGING YOUR WATCH:Your watch was fully charged at the factory so it should be powered upto wear, but for future charging please read on.

Expose the watch to sunlight or strong artificial light and it will startoperating immediately with the second hand moving at 2-secondintervals.Keep the watch exposed to the light until second hand moves at 1-second intervals.

CAUTION WHEN CHARGING:When charging, make sure the watch temperature does not exceed 50c.When charging the watch in sunlight, do not leave it on the dashboardof a car as the watch temperature could become extremely high anddamage the watch.Do not place your watch too close to a photoflash light, spotlight,incandescent light or other light sources as the watch temperature couldbecome extremely high, causing damage to the watch.

Condition A: for full chargeCondition B: for steady operationCondition C: to maintain 1-day usage

The values in this column represent the charging times required untilthe second hand moves constantly at 1-second.

Note: Even if the watch is not charged for the time specified above, thesecond hand may temporarily move at 1-second intervals. But, it will soonresume moving at 2-second intervals. Therefore you must charge thewatch for the specified period.When the watch is fully charged, it will keep operating for approximately 6 months.

to normal position, push crown back in fully, then carefully screw thecrown in slowly to reseal your watch (fig.3). Never force the screw.Note: The calendar will not move back by turning the crown counter-clockwise.

Note: Do not set the date calendar between 9:00p.m. and 1:00a.m.Otherwise, it may not change properly.It is necessary to adjust the date on the first day after a 30-day monthand February.

NOTE: Energy depletion forewarning functionWhen the energy stored in the watch is reduced to an extremely lowlevel, the second hand starts moving at 2-second intervals instead ofthe normal 1-second intervals. In that case, recharge the watch assoon as possible by exposing it to light. Otherwise, the watch may stopoperating in about 3 days.

To prevent the energy depletion wear the watch so that it is notcovered by your clothes.When the watch is not in use, leave it in a bright place as long aspossible.* Make sure that the watch temperature does not exceed 50C.

Note: Power supplyYour watch contains a rechargeable capacitor, so unlike conventionalbattery-powered watches, battery replacement is not necessary.The solar cell is a clean energy source, having no adverse effect on thenatural environment.

Caution:Never try to insert a conventional silver oxide battery in your watch asit may explode, generate an intense heat, or even catch fire.
