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 motors mechanism is disturbed due to heavy impacts for example. N.B.: The glass must be active to access the synchronisation mode.

GLOSSARY > COMPASS
Azimuth In compass mode, your SEA-TOUCH LCD indicates the azimuth (heading) that you need to turn to. Azimuth explanations The azimuth is the horizontal angle between the direction of an object (heading) and True North and is measured in degrees from 0 to 359 (e.g.: East = 90). In compass mode 12o'clock represents the heading given by the azimuth relative to True North.
Heading Heading
Compass In compass mode, your SEA-TOUCH indicates the True North Pole, factoring in magnetic declination.
N
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 () between these two directions Ng and Nm is known as magnetic declination. The Ng magnetic declination value depends on your Nm 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 location and date) is set (see the setting procedure on page7), the minutes hand of your SEA-TOUCH will point to True North (Ng). If the magnetic declination is set to 0, your SEA-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.

Azimuth 315
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.

GLOSSARY > THERMOMETER
T
Description of function In thermometer mode, your SEA-TOUCH displays the ambient temperature.
1 sec.
Activate glass
Thermometer display
Explanations The temperature displayed corresponds to that of the watch case, so this temperature T is influenced by your body temperature. That is why the temperature displayed may differ from the ambient temperature. T To display the actual ambient temperature, the watch needs to be taken off for 15 to 30minutes, in order to be free from the influence of body temperature. Under water the thermometer will show you the water temperature. The body temperature will not influence this measure. However the watch will need a few minutes to adapt from the air temperature to the water temperature when going into the water. Characteristics of function The temperature can be displayed in degrees Celsius [C] or degrees Fahrenheit [F]. (See procedure to follow for changing units on page 5). Conversion formulae: Measurement range: Accuracy: Resolution: T 0C = (T 0F 32) x 5/9 T 0F = T 0C x 9/5 + 32 5C to + 55C / 23F to 130F 1C / 1.8F 1C / 1F

If the dive length doesnt exceed 3 minutes, the dive is automatically stopped when the diver stays more than 10 seconds at the surface. The diver can stop the current dive manually by pressing the middle push-button, as long as the depth is above 1.40 m.
If the dive lasts more than 3 minutes, the dive mode stops automatically after 5 minutes, at the surface. The dive is saved.
All dives with manual start are saved in the logbook.

WARNINGS
Battery type: button-type lithium-manganese dioxide primary battery cell. Your TISSOT SEA-TOUCH is NOT a scuba-diving watch and the measurements of the TISSOT SEA-TOUCH are not of a professional or industrial precision. Your TISSOT SEA-TOUCH does NOT replace a professional dive computer. You can use the TISSOT SEA-TOUCH as a back up instrument only. Warning! After each dive, please rinse and clean the watch thoroughly using only clear fresh water. Do not use any form of detergent. The pressure gauge shows a diving depth of up to 59m/ 189 ft. Even if you dive deeper, the display will continue to show a diving depth of 59m/ 189ft. The maximum diving time that can be displayed and registered is 180minutes/ 3hours. For your security do not dive deeper as international diving standards recommended: i.e. 30m/ 100ft.
