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.

T-TOUCH EXPERT
GLOSSARY > WEATHER
Description of function
In weather mode, the hands are superimposed to
indicate the weather trend.
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.
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:
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.

GLOSSARY > ALTIMETER
Description of function
We advise you to stop the altitude difference meter during rest times and then
restart it, in order to obtain more accurate results.
In altimeter mode, your T-TOUCH becomes a baro-
metric altimeter, displaying the altitude relative to
mean sea level.
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.
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
Note 2: In an airliner, since the cabin is pressur-
ised, your altimeter will not indicate an accurate altitude.
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.
Note 3: To optimise the accuracy of your altimeter, you are advised to select
the climate zone, see page 6.
Characteristics of function
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.

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.

is influenced by your body temperature. That
is why the temperature displayed may differ
from the ambient temperature.

WARNINGS
Battery type: button-type lithium-manganese dioxide primary battery cell.
When a function is selected and the display is cleared, it is probably due to a
failure of the selected function's sensor.
To activate the functions on your T-TOUCH a gentle press on the push-buttons or
touch on the glass is all that is required. 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.

Error: the display is cleared

If this happens, please contact your retailer.
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.
