1. Care and Servicing

• International Warranty

Tissot SA grants you a twenty-four (24)-month warranty on your Tissot® watch from the date of
purchase, subject to the conditions set out in the warranty leaflet. The Tissot® international warranty
covers faults in materials and manufacturing that exist at the time of delivery of the purchased

Tissot® watch (“faults”). The warranty applies only if the warranty certificate is dated, duly

completed and stamped by an approved Tissot® dealer (“valid warranty certificate”). During the
warranty period and upon presentation of the valid warranty certificate, you are entitled to have all
faults repaired free of charge. If repairs cannot restore your Tissot watch to its normal working order,
Tissot SA undertakes to replace it with an identical Tissot watch, or another Tissot watch with similar
features. The replacement watch warranty expires twenty-four (24) months after the purchase date
of the replaced watch.

This manufacturer’s warranty does not cover:

– battery life;

– normal wear and tear and ageing (e.g. scratches on the glass; alteration of the colour and/or

material of straps and chains made of non-metallic materials such as leather, fabric or rubber;
peeling of the plating);

– any damage to any part of the watch resulting from inappropriate or improper use, lack of
care, negligence, accidents (cuts, dents, crushing, broken glass, etc.), incorrect use of the watch or
failure to follow the instructions for use provided by Tissot SA;

– any handling of the Tissot watch by a non-approved person (e.g. for battery replacement,
servicing or repairs) or any alteration from its original state that is beyond the control of Tissot SA;

– any damage to any part of the watch resulting from connection to a non-recommended
accessory;

– any damage to any part of the watch caused deliberately, or by inappropriate use of the
watch, or due to an unsuitable connection or exposure to excessively high voltage or an electrical
discharge, or any kind of shock;

– any damage to any part of the watch caused by an attempt to modify the watch’s software;

– any damage to any part of the watch due to non-compliance with the user’s manual;

ALL APPLICABLE IMPLICIT WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLICIT GUARANTEES OF MARKETABLE
QUALITY AND SUITABILITY TO A PARTICULAR USE GRANTED BY LAW ARE HEREBY LIMITED TO THE
DURATION OF THIS WARRANTY. TISSOT CANNOT IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER.

Some countries or states do not allow limitation of the duration of an implicit warranty, nor exclusion
of or limitation to accidental or consequential damage, such that the exclusions or limitations above
may not apply in your case. This warranty grants you specific rights and you may also have other
additional rights by virtue of the applicable law.

• Health

THE T-TOUCH CONNECT SOLAR MAY INTERFERE WITH PACEMAKERS, DEFIBRILLATORS AND OTHER
MEDICAL DEVICES. MAINTAIN A SAFE DISTANCE BETWEEN YOUR MEDICAL DEVICE AND THE
T-TOUCH CONNECT SOLAR AND ITS ACCESSORIES. CONSULT YOUR SURGEON OR DOCTOR TO OBTAIN
MORE PRECISE INFORMATION ABOUT POSSIBLE INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR MEDICAL DEVICE. STOP
USING YOUR T-TOUCH CONNECT SOLAR OR ITS CHARGER IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT
INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR PACEMAKER, DEFIBRILLATOR OR ANY OTHER MEDICAL DEVICE.

The T-Touch Connect Solar should not be used:

– as a medical device, as it is not designed to make any kind of medical diagnosis whatsoever,
nor to treat or prevent any illness or disease, nor for any other type of medical application;

– in circumstances where a fault or failure of the watch might lead to death or cause injury;

– if its glass is broken, any influx of liquid is apparent or its strap or bracelet is damaged, as this

may cause injury; or without a strap or bracelet, as it is a wristwatch and the corners on the
mid-section of some cases may have sharp edges.

• Distraction

Using the T-Touch Connect Solar in certain circumstances may distract you and lead to hazardous
situations, especially when driving. Ensure you comply with laws prohibiting or restricting the use of
mobile devices in certain places or situations.

• Water resistance

The T-Touch Connect Solar is water-resistant to 10 bar (100 m/330 ft) at 25°C/77°F, but it is not an
instrument suited to sports diving. The water-resistance of watches is assessed on the basis of
pressure tests in the laboratory that simulate use by a swimmer or diver in a stationary position at
the depth corresponding to the pressure level in question. Nevertheless, many aquatic activities
involve a great deal of movement and other environmental changes. These differences from the
method used to assess a watch may adversely affect or negate its water-resistant characteristics. A

watch’s water resistance cannot therefore be guaranteed indefinitely. It may be affected by ageing of

the seals or an accidental shock to the crown. We recommend you have the water-resistance of your
T-Touch Connect Solar checked once a year by a Tissot-certified service centre. Never activate the
crown and/or the push-pieces when the T-Touch Connect Solar is underwater. In no circumstances
should you open the case of the T-Touch Connect Solar yourself: have it inspected only by a
Tissot-certified service centre.

• Temperature and magnetic fields

The T-Touch Connect Solar, charging cable and T229 cordless charger comply with the applicable
standards and limits for surface temperature. Even within these limits, prolonged contact with very
warm surfaces may cause discomfort or injury. The T-Touch Connect Solar, charging cable and T229
cordless charger heat up when connected to a power source. Avoid any prolonged contact between
the skin and the T-Touch Connect Solar, charging cable or T229 cordless charger while they are
connected to a power source. For example, take care not to fall asleep with your body in contact
with the T-Touch Connect Solar, charging cable or T229 cordless charger while they are connected to
a power source. Do not cover any of these items while they are connected to a power source.
Exercise caution if your physical condition prevents you from feeling heat properly on your skin.
Remove your T-Touch Connect Solar immediately if it starts emitting an uncomfortable amount of
heat.

The normal range of operating temperatures for the T-Touch Connect Solar is from -5°C to 45°C (23°F
to 113°F). Any factor likely to affect the normal operating temperature is to be avoided, particularly:

1. carrying/storing the T-Touch Connect Solar outside an ambient temperature range of -5°C to
45°C (23°F to 113°F);

2. exposing the T-Touch Connect Solar directly or indirectly to a heat source;

3. charging the T-Touch Connect Solar using a charger not recommended by Tissot SA.
