Your High-T® watch forms part of the TISSOT® touch screen range and benefits from the most recent technical innovations, including the famous touch screen technology. It also offers you a fully digital ("matrix") display that allows you to choose the type of time display (analogue, digital or more innovative watch faces) and the customary functions of a watch (date, chronograph, timer, alarms, etc.), and to access other information services by simply touching the glass: weather, news, stock prices, sports results, etc. 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 an area with radio coverage. With your High-T® watch, you can also receive personal messages. To start using your High-T®, follow the starting procedure described on page 6 of this document, activate the MSN® Direct services on www.msndirect.com and discover your watch and its functionalities with the help of this User's Manual!

To activate your High-T®, press and then release the three push buttons simultaneously (see also the starting procedure on page 6). 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 FM reception on page 16). Your High-T® is water-resistant at up to 3 ATM. However, no function can be activated if the crystal is in contact with a liquid; moreover, since FM reception does not work under water, your High-T® will not be able to receive information. The bracelet of your High-T® contains a metallic antenna required to receive information. Avoid twisting or deforming the bracelet, so as not to damage the antenna and thereby prevent satisfactory reception of information.
