User manual TISSOT QUARTZ CHRONOGRAPHS G15

[. . . ] This User's Manual is valid for standard TISSOT® quartz chronographs for ladies (G15 movement) and men (G10 movement), and for chronographs with retrograde function. For the settings and operation of your chronograph, please refer to the instructions corresponding to your model. Your chronograph allows you to time events lasting up to 30 or 60* minutes, and offers you the following functions: ­ Standard START­STOP function ­ ADD function (partial times) ­ SPLIT function (intermediate times) To enable your chronograph to give you many years of perfect precision service, we recommend that you follow the advice contained in this booklet very carefully. * Retrograde model Standard model Usage / Settings Models with a screwed crown To ensure even better water-resistance, some models are fitted with a screwed down crown. [. . . ] Each time is added to the previous total. 1 START 2 STOP Readout 3 RESTART 4 STOP Readout 5 RESTART 6 STOP Readout X Reset counters to zero SPLIT-TIME function The SPLIT-TIME function enables you to stop the hands to read an intermediate time, without interrupting the timing operation. When you restart, the hands « catch up » to the ongoing elapsed time. 1 START 2 SPLIT 1 Readout of time 1 (see fig. 2) - 5 minutes, - 4 seconds, - 6/10ths of a second 3 RESTART (catchup) 4 SPLIT 2 Readout of time 2 - 15 minutes, - 36 seconds, - 8/10ths of a second 5 RESTART (catchup) 6 STOP Readout of the last time (cumulative time) - 25 minutes, - 18 seconds, - 4/10ths of a second 7 Reset counters to zero w w w. ch 3/5 134_EN / 05. 0 7 Quartz Chronographs G10/G15 * Retrograde model Usage / Settings Models with a screwed crown To ensure even better water-resistance, some models are fitted with a screwed down crown. Before setting the time or date, you must first unscrew the crown to position IB, before pulling it out to position II or III. Important: After every operation, the crown must be screwed back down firmly to protect the seal integrity of the watch. Setting the time Pull the crown out to position III and turn it clockwise or anticlockwise to set the desired time. Synchronize the small seconds hand at the 6 o'clock position with an official time signal (radio/TV/Internet) by pulling out the crown to the second notch; the hand will then stop. Once the time has been synchronised, push the crown back down into position I (and tighten it back down on models with a screwed down crown). Winding Quartz chronographs never need to be wind. Fast correction of the date Pull the crown out to position II and turn it anticlockwise until the correct date is displayed. Resetting the counters The counters must be zeroed before starting timing. If necessary, proceed as follows: 1 Zero the 60 minute counter hand: - Crown in position II, pusherB 2 Zero the 30 second retrograde counter hand: - Crown in position III, pusher A 3 Zero the 5 minute retrograde counter hand: - Crown in position III, pusher B Simple timing The «simple timing» function is no different to that on a standard chronograph, but the retrograde counter hand turns anti-clockwise, from 9 o/c to 3 o/c. 1 START 2 STOP (Time readout) 3 Reset counters to zero NB: Before each timing operation, the chronograph hands must be at their start points. If necessary, see paragraph RESETTING THE COUNTERS. Comment: All the timing functions are available while the crown is pressed into position I. ww w. ch 4/5 134_EN / 05. 0 7 Quartz Chronographs G10/G15 * ADD function The ADD function enables you to measure consecutive events without having to reset to zero in between. Each time is added to the previous total. 1 START 2 STOP Time 1 readout 3 RESTART 4 STOP Cumulative readout of times 1 and 2 5 RESTART 6 STOP Cumulative readout of times 1, 2 and 3 X Reset counters to zero SPLIT-TIME function The SPLIT-TIME function enables you to stop the hands to read an intermediate time, without interrupting the timing operation.
