Miscellaneous information
If you set the magnetic variation to 0, your T-Touch will display
the magnetic North (Nm).
The COMP
ASS function, as any other compass, must not be
used near a metal or magnetic object.
Thanks to its rotating bezel, you can use the compass of your
T-Touch watch to orient a map. The bezel ring is graduated with
the following values:
- 30°between two points;
- 15°between a cardinal point (N,E,W,S) and the closest
points.
It is very important that you hold the watch as horizontal as
possible to obtain a true indication of North.

COMPASS
Compass, indication of geographical North
Description of the function
In COMPASS mode, your T-Touch indicates the geo-
graphical north pole, taking the magnetic variation into
consideration.
Glossary
Explanations
The vertical lines (meridians) on a globe converge toward the
geographical north pole (Ng) and indicate its direction.
The pointer on a conventional compass indicates the direction
of the magnetic north pole (Nm).
The angle (α) between these two directions is called the
magnetic variation. The value of the magnetic variation there-
fore depends on your position on the globe.
Furthermore, the magnetic North pole is constantly changing.
The value of the magnetic variation therefore also depends
on the date.
When the correct value (depending on place and date) of the
magnetic variation is set (see the adjustment procedure on
page 8), the minute hand on your T-Touch displays the direction
of the geographical North (Ng).
The values and dates of the magnetic variation are displayed on
topographical maps or can be searched for using special
software available on Internet.
