Tissot CHRONOGRAPH LADY AND GENT User Manual - Page 2

Quartz Chronographs * Congratulations We would like to congratulate you on having chosen a chronograph TISSOT ®, one of the most highly renowned Swiss brands in the world. Meticulously designed, using only the highest quality materials and components, your chronograph is protected against shock loads, variations in temperature, water and dust. When operating as a chronograph, this model is able to time events lasting up to 30 minutes, displaying the results to the 1/10th of a second, and also provides you with the following functions: - Standard START-STOP function - ADD function (partial times) - SPLIT function (intermediate times) To ensure that your chronograph operates with perfect precision for many years to come, we advise you to pay very careful attention to the advice provided hereafter. Usage / Settings Models with a screwed crown To ensure that they remain water-resistant, some models are fitted with a screwed crown. Before proceeding to setting the time or date, you must first unscrew the crown into position IB before pulling it out into position II or III. Important : After each operation, you must always screw the crown back down to ensure that your watch remains water-resistant. Setting the time Pull the crown out to position III and turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to set the desired time. Synchronize the small seconds-hand, located at 6 o'clock, to an official time signal (radio/TV/ Internet) by pulling out the crown to its second stop; the seconds hand stops at this point. As soon as the time setting has been synchronized, push the crown back down into position I (and tighten it back down on models with a screwed crown). Winding Quartz chronographs never need to be wind. Rapid correction of the date Pull the crown out into position II and turn it forwards until the correct date is displayed. During this operation, only the hour hand rotates. Speedometer (depending on the model) The speedometer is used to measure the speed of an object which is moving at a constant speed. Start the timing operation and stop it again once you have covered a distance of 1 km. The chronograph hand then points at a numeral on the tachometric scale, indicating the speed in km/h. Setting the counters to zero The counters must be zeroed before chronograph mode is initiated. If necessary, proceed as follows : 1 Zero the 60 seconds counter hand (crown in position III, pusher A) 2 Zero the 30 minutes counter hand (crown in position II, pusher B) or 12 hours counter* (crown in position II, pusher A) 3 Zero the 1/10th of a second counter hand (crown in position III, pusher B) 4 60 minutes counter hand* (crown in position II, pusher B) * Models with counter 60 minutes in the centre Simple chronograph (timing) operation The simple « chronograph function » enables you to measure isolated events. 1 START 2 STOP Readout of time (see example) - 5 minutes, - 57 seconds, - 7/10ths of a second 3 Reset to zero Note : Before each timing operation, the chronograph hands must be in their original settings. If necessary, refer to the paragraph entitled SETTING THE COUNTERS TO ZERO. Note : All the timing functions are available while the crown is pressed into position I. www.tissot.ch 2/3 127_EN / 12/09
