Thank you for choosing a SWATCH® Paparazzi. Your new watch can perform traditional time measurement, such as time indication, timing, countdown, and alarm functions. However, the novel feature of your SWATCH® Paparazzi is a new wireless communication technology which enables your watch to receive data directly from the service (www.msndirect.com). It also offers you a fully digital ("matrix") display that allows you to choose the type of time display (sport, urban or more innovative watch faces). Your watch will automatically receive information like Entertainment News, Today`s Weather forecast, and SWATCH® Paparazzi content when you`re in an coverage area, even if you don`t activate the service. The radio signal used to transport this data also allows the time to be set automatically, whatever the time zone in which you are located, provided that you are in a coverage area. When you do sign up for the service, you can choose from even more channels. These channels can be personalized so that the information most important to you is sent to your watch. With a quick glance at your wrist, you`ll see the latest news headlines, stock quotes, weather forecasts, sports scores, daily horoscopes, lottery numbers, personal messages, and more. You`ll also receive messages directly from SWATCH®. Your SWATCH® Paparazzi can be easily configured using the steps on the following pages.

It may, however, be necessary to partially recharge it (see the charging procedure on page 9). The information is transmitted by FM radio. The quality of reception may therefore vary depending on the place in which you are located (see notes on signal coverage on page x). Your SWATCH® Paparazzi is water-resistant at up to 2 ATM. However, since FM reception does not work under water, your SWATCH® Paparazzi will not be able to receive information. The bracelet of your SWATCH® Paparazzi contains a metallic antenna required to receive information. Make sure not to twist or deform the bracelet unnecessarily, so as not to damage the antenna and thereby prevent satisfactory reception of information. SWATCH® makes no representation, nor warranty whatsoever with respect to the qualitative, or with respect to the quantitative nature of information received (except for ,,SWATCH Meet" and ,,SWATCH News"), nor does SWATCH Ltd. assume any liability for the existence/and or operation of a wireless network of FM stations anywhere at any time whatsoever. The ability of the SWATCH® Paparazzi to receive information is dependent upon the time, place and personal network subscriptions where the SWATCH® Paparazzi is used. For any question relating to the points mentioned above, go to www.msndirect.com and then click Help. You can also contact MSN Support by calling (toll-free): 1-866-658-7032.
