Subtract one hour when you change back to Standard Time. � The lunitidal interval is the time elapsing between the Moon�s transit over a meridian and the next high tide at that meridian. See �Lunitidal Interval� for more information. � This watch displays lunitidal intervals in terms of hours and minutes. � The �Site Data List� and �Lunitidal Interval List� provide GMT differential, longitude, and lunitidal interval information around the world. � The following is the initial factory default Home Site data (Tokyo, Japan) when you first purchase the watch and whenever you have the battery replaced. Change these settings to match the area where you normally use the watch. GMT differential (+9.0); Longitude (East 140 degrees); Lunitidal interval (5 hours, 20 minutes)
