We would like to thank you for choosing a watch from
TISSOT
®
, one of the most highly renowned Swiss
brands in the world.
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

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!

four peripheral zones or on the center
of the sapphire crystal allows you to
navigate in the various menus.

Important notes
Your watch was charged on leaving the factory so
that you may use it as soon as you remove it from its
packing; it is delivered in "OFF" mode (see page 8) to
preserve an adequate charge level. 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.
Safety notes
Never handle your watch when walking, driving a
car, a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle, riding
a bike, etc. You could be distracted in this way, not
notice danger and create accidents.
Mains adapter (charger system):
Use exclusively the mains adapter, cable and
plug supplied with your High-T
®
watch to
recharge it. The use of any other equipment
could cause abnormal overheating of the
storage battery and cause bodily injuries.
Never use a defective plug or charger! Only by
using an original charger and plug in perfect
condition can you be sure of charging your
High-T
®
.
Handle the charger mains adapter and plug
carefully and avoid exposing it to impacts, to a
direct or indirect source of heat, to moisture or
to any other foreign body.
Never cover the mains adapter with a cover or
any other object.
Never touch the mains adapter with wet
hands.
Never dismantle the mains adapter or the
watch plug.
Do not try to dispose of the adapter by
incineration.
During storms, it is recommended disconnecting
the mains adapter.
Avoid any extended contact with the mains
adapter when it is energised with your watch
undergoing charging.
Keep the mains adapter out of reach of young
children.
Do not place the power cord near a radiator or
other source of intense heat.
If the adapter is not used for a prolonged period
of time, make sure to disconnect it from the
wall socket.

PRECAUTIONS FOR CHARGING
Make sure to insert the plug carefully in your High-T
®
!
CHARGING VIA WALL SOCKET
CHARGING VIA PC CABLE
POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED
To recharge your watch, simply connect the mains
adapter to a wall socket and insert the plug in the
slot situated on the underside of your watch.
The display indicates that charging is in progress
and, when the storage battery has been suitably
recharged, charging stops automatically. The time
required for complete recharging is approximately
two and a half hours. During recharging, your watch
receives and displays the information.
You can use the PC cable to recharge your watch via
the USB port of your computer. However, this cable
has no USB functionality and does not permit data
interchange with your PC.
Prefer a single USB connection (avoid using a
USB hub).
Charging via the USB port may not work,
in particular if:
The USB port is not activated (BIOS settings,
Windows version);
The PC is in energy saving mode or is not
turned on;
The current delivered is not sufficient
(especially for use with a USB hub).
Place your High-T
®
on a flat surface, with the
display downward, then bring the plug horizontally
opposite the opening in the back of the watch and
insert it in the charging slot.
If you do not use your High-T
®
for a long period
of time, we nevertheless advise you to recharge
it regularly so as to avoid damaging the storage
battery.
It is strongly recommended not to perform
recharging of your watch at temperatures below
10°C or above 40°C.
Please also become acquainted with the safety
notes on page 3.

9/19 119_E / 06-04
Note: the channels shown above are examples;
the channels actually available on your watch
depend on the services that you have activated on
www.msndirect.com.
You must have installed and activated the MSN
®
Direct
services for the selected channels to be displayed by

channel.
Navigation structure
Through your High-T
®
, you have access to a large
quantity of information. This information is organized
in "Channels", similar to television channels, so as to
make it as easy as possible to access and use.
Each channel is divided into "modes" that can be
compared to various programmes broadcast over
a given TV channel. For example, you will find the
"Local", "My Cities" and "International Weather" modes
in the "Weather" channel; the "Chrono" and "Timer"
functions are two modes of the "Time" channel.

metropolitan areas in the United States and
Canada. If your watch is located in one of
these areas, it will receive the correct local
time automatically (unless the watch's
"Radio" setting is on "OFF"). If your watch is
located outside a broadcasting area, the time
will have to be set by hand. For any further
information concerning coverage areas, go to
www.msndirect.com and click on the Help link.
It may occur that the topography (hills, valleys),
the structure of the building in which you are
located, or other electronic devices, disturb the
broadcasting signal that your watch uses to
receive information. When this occurs, a few
minutes are needed for your watch to receive
the correct time.
Make sure that the "Time zone" menu of
the "Settings" mode displays "Autoset" for
"Zone 1".
If your watch is ahead of time by 5, 10 or 15
minutes, it is likely that a "Time offset" has
been configured (see page 15).
If you are outside a coverage area, you can set
the time on your watch by hand (see page 14).
My watch's storage battery is spent before I
start recharging it. What should I do?
Don't worry! Simply connect your watch to the
charger. All the information will be accessible
again as soon as the watch has regained an
adequate charge level and has restarted.
My watch responds to no push button. What
should I do?
Start your watch again by pressing
simultaneously the three push buttons P1,
P2 and P3. After a few seconds, the TISSOT
®
welcome page appears and is then replaced by
a watch face showing the time.
If your watch still does not respond, contact the
TISSOT
®
customer service organization.
I have activated the MSN
®
Direct service but
my watch receives none of the information
that I have selected. What should I do?
It is possible that you did not receive the
activation and configuration message that was
sent to you when you activated the service. This
can occur if you are outside the MSN
®
Direct
broadcasting area or if you are temporarily
in an area in which reception is poor. You
can ask the MSN
®
Direct service to send back
a configuration message by logging on to
www.msndirect.com. Click on "Sign In", identify
yourself with the help of your .Net passport and
then go to the "Channels" page. Click on the
"Watch not receiving content?" link in order to
retrieve the information.
My watch has received no new information for
one day or more. What should I do?
The MSN
®
Direct reception covers most
metropolitan areas in the United States and
Canada. If your watch is located in one of these
broadcasting areas, it should automatically
receive the information broadcasted (news,

located outside a broadcasting area, it
receives no new information until you return
into this area. For any further information
concerning coverage areas, go to the
www.msndirect.com website and click on the
Help link.
If you leave your local coverage area and
if you are traveling in another MSN
®
Direct
broadcasting area, your watch can continue to
receive your personal information (personal
messages, appointments, etc.). For this purpose,
you must set the roaming parameters to
www.msndirect.com: go to the "My Location"
page, then click on "Add a travel destination".
It may occur that the topography (hills, valleys),
the structure of the building in which you are
located, or other electronic devices, disturb the
broadcasting signal that your watch uses to
receive information.

Care and maintenance
We advise you to clean your watch regularly with
a soft cloth and
warm water. After immersion in
salty water, rinse it in fresh water and leave it to dry
completely.
Avoid allowing dust and dirt to accumulate in the
slot for the charger plug (use no metallic object to
clean this slot) or in the interstices situated between
the bracelet and the case.
To clean the charger plug slot, simply blow into the
slot to remove the dust from it or use an applicator
slightly steeped in alcohol.
Also avoid leaving your High-T
®
in places exposed
to major temperature or humidity variations, the rays
of the sun or intense magnetic fields
.
The bracelet of your High-T
®
contains the antenna
required to receive information. Avoid twisting or
deforming it, so as not to damage the antenna and
thereby prevent satisfactory reception of information.
Do not activate the push buttons under water.
In the event of a violent impact, have your watch
checked by an authorized TISSOT
®
Service Center.
Never try to open your watch.
For the highest standards of service and to
benefit from the warranty, please always contact
an approved TISSOT
