SETTING > SYNCHRONISATION The watch needs to be synchronised if the watch hands do not display the same time as the digital display, or if they are not correctly superimposed when accessing the functions. The watch is desynchronised when its electric motor’s mechanism is disturbed due to heavy impacts for example. N.B.: The glass must be active to access the synchronisation mode.

After 4 hours, the altimeter mode is deactivated, and the date is displayed. Description of function In weather mode, the hands are superimposed to indicate the weather trend. Explanations Weather changes are related to variations in at - mospheric pressure. When atmospheric pressure increases the sky clears. The area is then referred to as a "high pressure" area or "anticyclone" (A). When atmospheric pressure decreases the sky clouds over. The area is then referred to as a "low pressure" area or "depression" (D). The T- TOUCH measures these pressure variations and indicates the weather trend with the hands, which can adopt the following 7 positions according to the weather developments: - 6’: Big pressure drop, rapid deterioration - 4’: Moderate pressure drop, probable deterioration - 2’: Small pressure drop, probable slight deterioration 12 o'clock: No notable weather change + 2’: Slight pressure rise, probable slight improvement + 4’: Moderate pressure rise, probable improvement + 6’: Big pressure rise, rapid improvement GLOSSARY > WEATHER The T- TOUCH program takes account of atmospheric pressure variation over the last 6 hours to calculate the trend to indicate. Furthermore, the pressure variation caused by a rapid change in altitude is detected by the watch and compensated for automatically. So it only has a minimal impact on the baro - metric trend. The T-TOUCH digital display indicates the absolute and relative atmospheric pressure values in hectoPascals [hPa]. Absolute at - mospheric pressure is the actual pressure at the time and place of measurement, and can - not be altered. Relative pressure is a value relative to sea level, based on local abso - lute atmospheric pressure . Barometers and weather charts show relative pressure values. The relative pressure value depends on the climate zone set, and can be preset on the watch. The relative pressure presetting is in line with the altitude. Characteristics of function Measurement range: absolute pressure: 300 hPa to 1100 hPa relative pressure: 950 hPa to 1100 hPa Accuracy: absolute pressure: ± 3 hPa relative pressure: varies with altimeter Resolution: 1 hPa Unit conversion: 1 hectoPascal [hPa] = 1 millibar [mb] www.tissot.ch 141_EN 9/14 T-TOUCH EXPERT  NB! Due to the use of pressure to calculate altitude, the altimeter is sensitive to variations in atmospheric pressure in weather changes. It is not uncommon to observe altitude differences of 100 m in a night. So the value displayed may vary without the altitude having actually changed. We advise you to stop the altitude difference meter during rest times and then restart it, in order to obtain more accurate results. Note 1: "Presetting" an altimeter means setting the actual altitude of a known point (see preset - ting procedure on page 8). The actual altitude values are indicated on various media: signposts, contour lines and spot heights on maps. The al - titude "presetting" is in line with relative atmos - pheric pressure. Note 2: In an airliner, since the cabin is pressur - ised, your altimeter will not indicate an accurate altitude. Note 3: To optimise the accuracy of your altimeter, you are advised to select the climate zone, see page 6. Characteristics of function Description of function In altimeter mode, your T- TOUCH becomes a baro - metric altimeter, displaying the altitude relative to mean sea level. Explanations This is a barometric instrument, which calculates the altitude as a function of absolute pressure (atmospheric). As the altitude rises, pressure drops, and vice versa. So the altimeter meas - ures the difference between absolute pressure (atmospheric) and relative pressure (relative to sea level) to display the altitude. Your T- TOUCH is temperature compensated, and you can adjust your geographic location (hemisphere and climate zone). The altitude dis - played is therefore corrected automatically. This makes it the ideal instrument for measuring vertical movement with the altitude difference function (e.g. in mountain trekking). The altitude difference meter indicates the elapsed time, cumulative gains and losses in altitude and mean vertical speeds of ascent and descent.

Azimuth explanations Th e azimuth is the horizontal angle between the direction of an object and True North. The azimuth is measured from north in degrees from 0° to 359° (e.g.: East = 90°). In azimuth mode, the T-TOUCH emits a beep and visual signal when the 6-12 o’clock axis of the watch is aligned with the heading set. 12 o'clock represents the heading given by the azimuth relative to True North. Note 1 For a correct indication of North, it is extremely 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. Note 3 The rotating bezel, graduated from 0° to 359°, provides another method for determining the azimuth. Characteristics of function Accuracy: ± 8° Resolution: 2° Heading Compass In compass mode, your T- TOUCH indicates the True North Pole, factoring in magnetic declination. 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 direction of the Magnetic North Pole (Nm). The angle ( α ) between these two directions Ng and Nm is known as magnetic declination. The magnetic declination value depends on your location on Earth. Furthermore, the Magnetic North Pole is constantly moving. So the magnetic declination value also depends on the date. If the correct magnetic declination value (for the loca - tion and date) is set (see the setting procedure on page 11), the minutes hand of your T- TOUCH will point to True North (Ng). If the magnetic declination is set to 0, your T- TOUCH will point to Magnetic north (Nm). The magnetic declination values and dates are indicated on topographic charts, or can be found using special software available on the Internet.

Explanations The temperature displayed corresponds to that of the watch case, so this temperature is influenced by your body temperature. That is why the temperature displayed may differ from the ambient temperature. To display the actual ambient temperature, the watch needs to be taken off for 15 to 30 minutes, in order to be free from the infl u- minutes, in order to be free from the influ - ence of body temperature. Characteristics of function The temperature can be displayed in degrees Celsius [°C] or degrees Fahren - heit [°F]. (See procedure to follow for changing units on page 5). THERMOMETER 1 sec.

Excessive force may damage the watch. The brightness of the digital display decreases when the hands are in motion. In fast continuous setting mode, the display moves at a faster rate (e.g. for date function: months or years instead of days) than in non-continuous or normal speed setting mode (e.g. for date: days instead of months or years). To exit fast continu - ous setting mode, you need to release the push-pieces for 3 seconds to continue in normal speed setting mode. The T- TOUCH is water-resistant to 10 bar (100 m / 330 ft) at 25°C / 77°F, but it is not an instrument suitable for sports diving. You must not use push-buttons when the watch is underwater. None of the functions can be activated if the glass is in contact with a liquid. Additional information in the "International Warranty – Service centers" booklet SENSOR FAULT 5 sec. When a function is selected and the display is cleared, it is probably due to a failure of the selected function's sensor. Battery type: button-type lithium-manganese dioxide primary battery cell. Error: the display is cleared Back to date display If this happens, please contact your retailer. WARNINGS
