4. Betriebsfunktionen
4.1 Using the Tide Function
Once calibrated, the tide hand will indicate the current tide status (High, Low, Half). This is an approximation and should not be used for critical navigation.
4.2 Using the Temperature Function
The watch measures ambient temperature. For accurate readings, remove the watch from your wrist for at least 20-30 minutes to allow it to acclimate to the surrounding air temperature, as body heat can affect the sensor.
4.3 Using the Compass Function
Activate the compass function using the designated pusher. Hold the watch flat and level for an accurate reading. Recalibrate if readings become inconsistent, especially after exposure to strong magnetic fields.
4.4 INDIGLO Night-Light
Press the crown firmly to activate the INDIGLO night-light, illuminating the entire dial for easy reading in the dark.
