Tide/Moon Data
Tide/Moon data provides you with the Moon phase at your
Home Site on a date you specify, and tidal movements at
your Home Site for a date and time you specify.
• If you suspect that the Tide/Moon data is not correct for
some reason, check the Timekeeping Mode data
(current time, date, and Home Site settings), and make
changes as required.
• See “Moon Phase Indicator” for information about the
Moon phase indicator and “Tide Graph” for information
about the tide graph.
• All of the operations in this section are performed in the
Tide/Moon Data Mode, which you enter by pressing C.

Countdown Timer
The countdown timer can be set within a range of one
minute to 60 minutes. An alarm sounds when the
countdown reaches zero. The countdown timer has two
modes: auto-repeat and elapsed time, and a progress
beeper signals the progress of the countdown. All of this
makes the countdown timer a valuable tool for timing the
start of a yacht race.
• All of the operations in this section are performed in the
Countdown Timer Mode, which you enter by pressing
C.
Configuring Countdown Timer Settings
The following are the settings you should configure before actually using the
countdown timer.

• See “To configure countdown timer settings” for information about setting up the
timer.
Reset Time
You can set a “reset time”, which is a kind of alternate countdown start time you can
recall with the press of a button any time a countdown operation is in progress.
Timer Type
The countdown timer gives you a choice of two types of timer: auto-repeat and
elapsed time.
Auto-repeat
Auto-repeat automatically restarts the countdown from the countdown start time
whenever zero is reached.
• Auto-repeat is best when timing the starts of match races.
• Even if you start a countdown operation from the reset time, the countdown restarts
automatically from the countdown start time whenever it reaches zero.
• Auto repeat timing repeats up to seven times.
Elapsed Time
When the elapsed time timer reaches the end of the countdown, it switches to an
elapsed time measurement operation automatically.
• The elapsed time timer is best when timing the speed of yachts during ocean races.
• The elapsed time operation is performed in one-second increments up to 99 hours,
59 minutes, 59 seconds.
Countdown Timer Beeper Operations
The watch beeps at various times during a countdown so you can keep informed
about the countdown status without looking at the display. The following describes the
types of beeper operations the watch performs during a countdown.
Countdown End Beeper
The watch beeps each second of the final 10 seconds before a countdown reaches
zero, and at zero. The first five beeps (seconds 10 through 6) are higher pitched than
the final five beeps (seconds 5 through 1). The watch emits a longer beep to signal
when the countdown reaches zero.
Progress Beeper
The progress beeper actually includes two beepers: a reset time beeper and a reset
period progress beeper.
Reset Time Beeper
The reset time beeper is similar to the countdown end beeper. The watch beeps each
second of the final 10 seconds before the countdown reaches the reset time.
Reset Period Progress Beeper
The reset period is the portion of the countdown between the reset time and zero.
While timing is the reset period, the watch will beep four times at the top of each
minute and 30 seconds before the end of the countdown.
