For your RACING-TOUCH to indicate correct tidal information, you need to enter the exact time of the next high tide at your location. Please visit one of the websites listed on page 8 for information about tidal times. Activate glass The display indicates the time of next high and low tides Hour hand indicates the tendency to low or high tide Minute hand indicates the actual state of the tide (amplitude) Tide display High tide display Example Setting mode Validate setting Low tide High tide 1 sec. 2 sec. or or : time forward : time backward GLOSSARY > TIDE Tides Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the rotation of the Earth and the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun. The interval between two high tides is of approximately 12 hours and 25 minutes. During high tide, the sea level rises because the side of the Earth facing the Moon (nearest it) is attracted by the gravi - tational force of the Moon. Combined with the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the Earth, oceans stretch into an ellipse with the Earth in the center. The ellipse has two peaks; one nearest the Moon and one farthest from it (at the antipodal point). As the Earth spins on its axis once a day and the Moon needs about 30 days to rotate around the Earth, the ellipse stays aligned with the Moon meaning that there are two high and two low tides in one day. Description of function Upon activation of the Tide function, the hands of your RACING-TOUCH indicate tidal information. Minute hand The minute hand moves back and forth in a half circle between 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock and indicates the actual state (amplitude) of the current tide. As there are four tides a day, the minute hand will need 6 hours to go from 9 to 3 o’clock and thus indicating how high, how low or how average is the current sea level for a chosen location. Hour hand In Tide function, the hour hand only has two positions. It points either towards 9 o’clock (“L”) or towards 3 o’clock (“H”). If it points to “L”, it means that the tidal tendency (next tide) is to low tide and if it points to “H” it is to high tide. When the Tide function is calibrated for a chosen location, the LCD display indicates at which time the next high and low tides will occur. Example: The next tide will be a low tide (hour hand points to «L»), the sea level is still high as the last tide was a high one but it is now descending (minute hand is always trying to catch up the hour hand). It will be full low tide in approximately 4 hours, at exactly 5:54 pm. Note For best accuracy of the tide function, set tidal times as frequently as possible. For your safety, always carefully plan boat trips with accurate information and tools that meet your needs.

By setting the magnetic declination the minute hand will indicate True Noth. In compass mode, the LCD displays the azimuth (angle between Heading (12 o’clock) and the North (minutes hand)). The RACING-TOUCH compass can be adjusted to indicate True North if the magnetic declination for a chosen location is known.

Azimuth explanations An azimuth is the horizontal angle between the direction of an object (heading) and North and is measured in degrees from 0° to 359° (e.g.: East = 90°). In compass mode, 12 o’clock represents the heading given by the azimuth relative to North. Example: Imagine you want to follow a given azimuth of 315° East using your RACING-TOUCH. Activate the compass function and hold the watch horizontally in front of you. Rotate on yourself until you read the azimuth you are looking for (here 315°) in the LCD: the direction that both yourself and the watch are facing at that moment is the azimuth (here 315°) to follow. Note 1 For a correct indication of North, it is very important to hold the watch as level as possible. Note 2 The compass function, like any other compass, should not be used near a metal or magnetic mass. In case of doubt, you can recalibrate your compass. Characteristic of the function Accuracy: ± 8° Resolution: 2° Cap Compass In compass mode, your RACING-TOUCH in - dicates the magnetic North. By setting the magnetic declination in the watch, it will indicate True North. Compass explanations The vertical lines (meridians) on the Earth converge at the True North Pole (Ng), indicating its direction. The hand of a conventional compass indicates the direc - tion of the Magnetic North Pole (Nm). The angle between these two directions Ng and Nm is known as magnetic declination. The magnetic declination value depends on your location on Earth. Fur - thermore, the Magnetic North Pole is constantly moving. So the magnetic declination value also de - pends on the date. If the correct magnetic declina - tion value (for the location and date) is set (see the setting procedure on page 11), the minutes hand of your RACING-TOUCH will point to True North (Ng). If the magnetic declination is set to 0, your RACING-TOUCH will point to Magnetic North (Nm). The magnetic declination val - ues and dates are indicated on topographic charts, or can be found on the internet.
