correctly completed and stamped by an official TISSOT dealer (“valid warranty certificate”).
During the warranty period and by presenting the valid warranty certificate, you will have the right to

of identical or similar characteristics. The warranty for the replacement watch ends twenty-four (24)
months after the date of purchase of the replaced watch.

of non-metallic straps and chains, such as leather, textile, rubber; peeling of the plating);

negligence, accidents (knocks, dents, crushing, broken crystal, etc.), incorrect use of the watch
and non-observance of the use directions provided by TISSOT SA;
- the TISSOT watch handled by non-authorized persons (e.g. for battery replacement, services
or repairs) or which has been altered in its original condition beyond TISSOT SA’s control;
- any damage on any part of the watch resulting from connection to a non-recommended
accessory;
- any damage on any part of the watch deliberately provoked or due to an inadequate use of the
watch or due to incorrect connection, exposure to an excessive voltage or electrical discharge,
or any kind of shock;

GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
PRELIMINARY REMARKS
Before first using your T-Touch Connect, please read carefully the instructions in the present document
and the user manual, and comply with the associated information.
The T-Touch Connect has a Bluetooth® function and requires connection with a smartphone running
Android 6.0 + or iOS 12.0 +.
The T-Touch Connect requires the use of the T229 charging accessory supplied with the purchase of the
watch. This wireless power supply complies with PS1 circuit according to EN 62368-1.
Do not use a USB adapter providing a power of more than 15W.
Do not use a cable or connector that is bent, broken, twisted or damaged.
The T-Touch Connect is not intended for use as a professional timing instrument.
HEALTH
The T-Touch Connect may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators and other medical devices.
Keep a safe distance between your medical device and the T-Touch Connect and its accessories.
Please consult your surgeon or doctor for more precise information on any possible interference
with your medical device. Stop using your T-Touch Connect or its charger if you are concerned
about interference with your pacemaker, defibrillator or any other medical device.
The T-Touch Connect shall not be used:
- as a medical device, it is not designed for use in any medical diagnostics, for disease treatment
or prevention or other
- in situations where failure of the watch could cause death or injury;
- if it has a broken crystal, visible liquid penetration or a damaged bracelet, since this could
cause injuries; or
- without a bracelet as it is a wristwatch and the middle corners of some cases may be sharp.
DISTRACTION
Using the T-Touch Connect under certain circumstances may distract you and cause dangerous
situations, in particular when driving. Make sure to comply with laws prohibiting or restricting use of
mobile devices in certain places or situations.
WATER RESISTANCE
Watch water resistance is evaluated based on laboratory pressure tests simulating use by a swimmer or
diver in an immobile position at the depth corresponding to the pressure level in question. Nonetheless,
numerous aquatic activities involve a great deal of movement and changes of environment. These
differences to the watch evaluation method may compromise or invalidate its water resistance
specifications. The water resistance of a watch cannot be permanently guaranteed. It may be affected by
ageing of gaskets or by an accidental impact on the crown. We recommend that you have the water
resistance of your watch tested once a year by a TISSOT service centre. Never operate the crown or

push-pieces when the watch is underwater. Do not under any circumstances open the watch yourself,
have it inspected by a TISSOT service centre only.
TEMPERATURE
The T-Touch Connect, charging cable and T-Touch Connect charging station comply with the applicable
standards and limits in terms of surface temperature. Even within these limits, prolonged contact with
hot surfaces may cause injuries or discomfort. The T-Touch Connect, charging station and T-Touch
Connect charging cable will heat up when they are connected to a power source. Apply common sense
to prevent your skin from remaining in prolonged contact with the T-Touch Connect, charging cable or
T-Touch Connect charging station, when they are plugged in. For example, make sure you do not fall
asleep with your body touching the T-Touch Connect, the charging cable or the T-Touch Connect
charging station while these are plugged in. Do not cover either one when they are connected to a power
source. Be vigilant if you have a physical condition preventing you from sensing heat on your skin
normally. Take off your T-Touch Connect immediately if it starts emitting an uncomfortable amount of
heat.
The normal operating temperature range of the T-Touch Connect is -5°C to 45°C / 23°F to 113°F. Any
factors potentially influencing the normal operating temperature must be avoided. This means in
particular:
1 wearing/ storing the watch outside of ambient temperature conditions from -5°C to 45°C /
23°F to 113°F;
2 exposing the watch directly or indirectly to a heat source; and
3 charging the watch using a charger not recommended by TISSOT SA .
To alert you to such a case, your watch screen will display a message.
If the watch has a temperature in excess of its normal operating temperature range:
- if it is charging, unplug the charging cable or remove the watch from its charging station
immediately;
- if you are wearing the watch on your wrist, remove it immediately. If the temperature does not
decrease, please consult a TISSOT service centre.
SHOCKS AND IMPACTS
Avoid thermal shocks or impacts, since they could damage your watch. In the event of a violent impact,
please have your watch checked by a TISSOT service centre.

CARE AND INSPECTION
Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft cloth, to prevent any corrosion due to sweat. All water-
resistant watches can be cleaned with a toothbrush and soapy water, and then dried with a soft cloth. Do
not use cleaning liquids or corrosive products to clean your accessories.
In case of immersion in seawater, the watch must be rinsed in fresh water immediately, and then dried
completely.
Avoid direct contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetic products, chemicals etc since they
may damage the bracelet, the case or the gaskets.
AFTER SALE SERVICE
Do not open the case of your T-Touch Connect, or try to repair it yourself, since this can damage the
watch / affect the water resistance or cause injuries. If the T-Touch Connect is damaged or not working
correctly, contact a TISSOT service centre.
Like any precision instrument, a watch must be serviced regularly for optimum operation. As a general
rule, we recommend that you have your watch inspected every 3 to 4 years by your official TISSOT
dealer or a TISSOT service centre. However, please note that depending on the climate and the
conditions of use of the watch, a shorter interval may be required. To benefit from the highest standards
of service and to ensure your guarantee remains in force, please always contact an official TISSOT
dealer or a TISSOT service centre.
BATTERY EXCHANGE AND DISPOSAL
We recommend contacting a TISSOT service centre, or an official TISSOT dealer. They have the tooling
and apparatus required to undertake this work in a professional manner. A spent battery must be changed
as soon as possible, to prevent the risks of leakage, which can damage the movement.
