Chronographs G10

Acknowledgements
Thank you for choosing a chronograph from TISSOT, one of the most highly renowned Swiss brands in the world. Meticulously assembled using high quality materials and components, it is protected against impacts, temperature variations, water and dust. This manual applies to TISSOT standard and Racing quartz chronographs with G10 movement. 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 minutes, and offers you the following functions: Standard chronograph STARTSTOP function ADD function (partial times) SPLIT function (intermediate times) To ensure that your chronograph operates with perfect precision for many years to come, we advise you to pay careful attention to the advice given in this manual.

Settings

Models with a screwed down 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 each operation, you must always screw the crown back down to ensure that your watch remains water-resistant. Setting the time Pull the crown out to position III and turn it clockwise or anticlockwise to set the desired time. Synchronise the small seconds hand at the 6o'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 watches never need to be wound. Rapid date correction Pull the crown out to position II and turn it anticlockwise until the correct date is displayed. Speedometer (depending on the model) The speedometer is used to measure the speed of an object which is moving at a constant speed. Start the timing operation and stop it again once you have covered a distance of 1 km. The chronograph hand then points at a numeral on the tachometric scale, indicating the speed in km/h.

Resetting the counters

The counters must be reset before starting timing. If necessary, proceed as follows:
Reset the 30-minute counter hand: - Crown in position III, push-piece A Reset the 60-second counter hand: - Crown in position II, push-piece B Reset the 1/10 second counter hand: - Crown in position II, push-piece A

Simple timing

The "simple timing" function enables you to measure isolated events. 1 START 2 STOP Time readout (as per example above) - 5 minutes, - 57 seconds, - 7/10ths of a second 3 Reset NB: Before each timing operation, the chronograph hands must be at their start points. If necessary, refer to the RESETTING THE COUNTERS paragraph. Note: All the timing functions are available with the crown pressed into position I.

ADD function

The ADD function enables you to measure consecutive events without having to reset in between. 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

SPLIT-TIME function

The SPLIT-TIME function enables you to stop the hands to read an intermediate time, without interrupting timing. When you restart, the chronograph hands "catch up" to the ongoing elapsed time. 1 START 2 SPLIT 1 Time 1 readout (as per fig. 2) - 5 minutes, - 4 seconds, - 6/10ths of a second 3 RESTART (catchup) 4 SPLIT 2 Time 2 readout - 15 minutes, - 36 seconds, - 8/10ths of a second 5 RESTART (catchup) 6 STOP Final time readout (cumulative time) - 25 minutes, - 18 seconds, - 4/10ths of a second 7 Reset counters
1/10th of a second display
The use of the TISSOT Racing model matches that of the standard G10 chronograph. The only specificity is the 1/10th of a second display by means of three integral hands set over 120 and the numerals 1 to 9 distributed over an arc.
Before any timing operation, make sure that the counter hands are correctly positioned.

Timing

1 START (Push-piece A) One of the three hands is pointing to the "GO" position, which corresponds to zero. Timing starts, although the three hands stay fixed. 2 STOP (Push-piece A) - Time readout Only one of the three hands is positioned perfectly opposite one of the numerals 1 to 9 to indicate the correct time, i.e. 8/10ths of a second in this example. 3 Reset counters (Push-piece B) One hand points to the "GO" again.

Care and maintenance
We would advise you to clean your chronograph regularly (except for the leather strap) using a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water. After immersion in salt water, rinse it in fresh water and leave it to dry completely. Do not leave it anywhere subjected to high variations in temperature or humidity, direct sunlight or strong magnetic fields. We would advise you to have your watch inspected every 3 to 4 years by an approved TISSOT representative or retailer. To enjoy impeccable maintenance service and ensure the guarantee remains valid, always consult an authorised TISSOT representative or retailer. TISSOT quartz chronographs have the incomparable precision of quartz. Their power reserve is usually more than 2 years in continuous use. If you plan not to wear your chronograph for several weeks or months, we would advise you to store it with the crown pulled out to position III. This cuts the electrical power supply to the motor, thereby extending battery life considerably. Replacing the battery Once the battery has been drained, it must be replaced without delay by an approved TISSOT representative or retailer. Battery type: button-type zinc-silver oxide primary battery cell, 1.55 V Battery, No. 394, SR 936 SW. Collection and treatment of end of life quartz watches* This symbol indicates that this product should not be disposed with household waste. It has to be returned to a local authorized collection system. By following this procedure you will contribute to the protection of the environment and human health. The recycling of the materials will help to conserve natural resources. *valid in the EU member states and in any countries with corresponding legislation.

Quartz Chronographs

Congratulations
We would like to congratulate you on having chosen a chronograph TISSOT, one of the most highly renowned Swiss brands in the world. Meticulously designed, using only the highest quality materials and components, your chronograph is protected against shock loads, variations in temperature, water and dust. When operating as a chronograph, this model is able to time events lasting up to 30 minutes, displaying the results to the 1/10th of a second, and also provides you with the following functions: Standard STARTSTOP function ADD function (partial times) SPLIT function (intermediate times) To ensure that your chronograph operates with perfect precision for many years to come, we advise you to pay very careful attention to the advice provided hereafter.

Usage / Settings

Models with a screwed crown To ensure that they remain water-resistant, some models are fitted with a screwed crown. Before proceeding to setting the time or date, you must first unscrew the crown into position IB before pulling it out into position II or III. Important: After each operation, you must always screw the crown back down to ensure that your watch remains water-resistant. Setting the time Pull the crown out to position III and turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to set the desired time. Synchronize the small seconds-hand, located at 6 oclock, to an official time signal (radio/TV/ Internet) by pulling out the crown to its second stop; the seconds hand stops at this point. As soon as the time setting has been synchronized, push the crown back down into position I (and tighten it back down on models with a screwed crown). Winding Quartz chronographs never need to be wind. Rapid correction of the date Pull the crown out into position II and turn it forwards until the correct date is displayed. During this operation, only the hour hand rotates. Speedometer (depending on the model) The speedometer is used to measure the speed of an object which is moving at a constant speed. Start the timing operation and stop it again once you have covered a distance of 1 km. The chronograph hand then points at a numeral on the tachometric scale, indicating the speed in km/h.
Setting the counters to zero
The counters must be zeroed before chronograph mode is initiated. If necessary, proceed as follows: 1 Zero the 60 seconds counter hand (crown in position III, pusher A)
2 Zero the 30 minutes counter hand (crown in position II, pusher B) or 12 hours counter* (crown in

positionII, pusher A)

3 Zero the 1/10th of a second counter hand (crown in position III, pusher B) minutes counter hand* (crown in position II, pusher B)
Simple chronograph (timing) operation
The simple chronograph function enables you to measure isolated events. 1 START 2 STOP Readout of time (see example) - 5 minutes, - 57 seconds, - 7/10ths of a second 3 Reset to zero Note: Before each timing operation, the chronograph hands must be in their original settings. If necessary, refer to the paragraph entitled SETTING THE COUNTERS TO ZERO. Note: All the timing functions are available while the crown is pressed into position I.

ADD function

The ADD function enables you to measure consecutive events without having to reset to zero between each event. Each time recorded is simply 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 the lost 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
