User’s Manual for the T-Touch Connect Solar
Accuracy:
± 8°
Resolution:
1°
Note 1:
For the most accurate indication of North, hold the watch as nearly horizontal as possible.
Note 2:
The compass function, like any other compass, should not be used near any metallic or magnetic
body, and should preferably be used outdoors. If in doubt, you can recalibrate the compass.
Pressing and turning will give you access to the following compass settings:
“Set Mode”
Three types of indication are available: « Magn. North” (magnetic north), “True north” (geographic
north) and “Azimuth” (azimuthal direction). Select the desired indication by pressing and turning .
Please note: In “Azimuth” mode, the T-Touch Connect Solar indicates the azimuthal direction
(course) you need to follow.
“Set azimuth”
The azimuth is the horizontal angle between the direction of an object (course) and geographic
north. The azimuth is measured from the north in degrees, from 0° to 359°, and can be adjusted by
pressing and turning . When using the compass in azimuth mode, red arrows on the MIP screen
show you the direction in which to turn the watch so that the second hand points in the programmed
azimuthal direction (course).
In azimuth mode, the T-Touch Connect Solar emits an acoustic signal and displays a visual signal
(“Go”) when the watch’s 6 o’clock-12 o’clock axis is aligned with the azimuthal direction set. The
direction of the second hand (12 o’clock position) represents the azimuthal direction as compared
with geographic north.
