PERSONALIZAR UNA PLAYA PREDEFINIDA
En el caso de que una de las 200 playas
predefinidas no sea su playa local, podrá
PERSONALIZAR los datos de marea de
cualquiera de las 200 playas predefinidas
para que concuerde con su playa.
- En primer lugar, utilice el
procedimiento de ajuste de marea
mencionado antes para predefinir la
playa más cercana a la suya.
- A continuación, averigue el desajuste
promedio de tiempo entre la playa predefinida seleccionada y su playa. Por ejemplo, Bells más 45
minutos es igual a mi playa local.
- Para activar un ajuste PERSONALIZADO, en el modo MAREA mantenga pulsado el botón
VUELTA/RESTAURAR durante 2 segundos hasta que aparezca OFFSET (Declinación) en la pantalla
y destellará el dígito CERO.
- Use el botón INICIAR/DETENER y VUELTA/RESTAURAR para incrementar o reducir la desviación
de tiempo hasta que sea correcta.
Pulse MODO/AJUSTE para bloquear la desviación que ha elegido. El reloj entonces le pedirá que cambie de
nombre a la playa predefinida y le ponga el nombre de la nueva playa.
Use los botones INICIAR/DETENER y VUELTA/RESTAURAR para desplazarse por el alfabeto y cambiar
la letra seleccionada.
- Pulse el botón MODO/AJUSTE para desplazarse a la siguiente letra.
- Una vez completado, MANTENGA PRESIONADO el botón MODO/AJUSTE durante 2 segundos
para guardar toda la información
NOTA: Para dejar el nombre de playa personalizado como PERSONALIZADO, introduzca el valor de desviación
y luego MANTENGA presionado el botón MODO/AJUSTE durante 2 segundos para guardarlo.
TENGA EN CUENTA TAMBIÉN: Una vez que haya personalizado una playa predefinida, por ejemplo Bells,
esa ubicación ha sido sobrescrita y ya no aparecerá en la lista de playas del reloj.
Para regresar al nombre de playa original y a los datos de mareas, deberá estar en MODO MAREA.
MANTENGA PRESIONADO el botón MODO/AJUSTE durante 2 segundos y los dígitos destellarán; a
continuación use el botón INICIAR/DETENER y VUELTA/RESTAURAR para cambiar la desviación a cero,
mantenga presionado el botón MODO/AJUSTE durante 2 segundos y el nombre de playa original, por ejemplo
Bells, volverá a aparecer en la pantalla.
