T-TOUCH SOLAR E84 REGATTA > GLOSSARY Regatta A regatta is a race between two or more boats, generally sailing boats. It comprises several stages, and begins with a "start procedure" which can last up to 10 minutes, during which all the boats competing in the regatta must remain behind the start line. As the boats are constantly moving behind this line, the goal is to remain as close as possible to it when the countdown ends, in order to gain the advantage from the off. Throughout the "start procedure", cannon shots tell the regatta competitors the time remaining before the start signal. To maximise your chances of a flying start, you can synchronise your T-TOUCH SOLAR E84 with the cannon shots. Once the countdown has finished, the race starts and all the competitors must follow a course marked by buoys around which they must navigate on their way to the finish line. The boat finishing the course first wins the regatta. Description of function Your T-TOUCH SOLAR E84 is equipped with a special countdown for regattas, which can be set to a value of between 0 and 10 minutes, and used during the regatta "start procedure". The watch emits a triple beep at the end of every minute, a double beep every ten seconds during the last minute, a single beep for each of the last 9 seconds, and finally a quintuple beep announcing the start of the race when the countdown reaches zero. Furthermore, during the countdown you can synchronise your T-TOUCH SOLAR E84 with the cannon shots using the "-" push-button. It is synchronised to the nearest whole minute. When the countdown reaches zero, it automatically switches to a race chronograph, indicating the days, hours, minutes and seconds elapsed on the LCD screen. SENSOR FAULT When a function is selected and the display is cleared, it is probably due to a failure of the selected function's sensor. 5 sec. Fast continuous setting When setting the watch, you can press and hold the push-button to switch to fast continuous setting mode, in which the display moves at a faster rate than in non-continuous or normal speed setting mode. To exit fast continuous setting mode, you need to release the push-buttons for 1 second to continue in normal speed setting mode. Light sources Avoid any close exposure (≤ 20 cm) of the watch to a light source. Do not under any circumstances attempt to speed up accumulator recharging in this way. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Error: the display is cleared Back to time T1 display If this happens, please contact your retailer. WARNINGS Battery type: ML2016 accumulator. To activate the functions on your T-TOUCH SOLAR E81 a gentle press on the pushbuttons 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. Water-resistance The T-TOUCH SOLAR E81 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 the push-buttons when the watch is underwater. None of the functions can be activated if the glass is in contact with a liquid. A watch cannot be permanently guaranteed absolutely water-resistant. It may be affected by ageing of the gaskets or by an accidental impact on the watch. We recommend that you have your watch's water resistance checked once a year by an approved TISSOT® service centre. www.tissot.ch 20/21 154_EN
