Miscellaneous information
If you set the magnetic variation to 0, your T-Touch will display
themagneticNorth(Nm).
The COMPASS 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.

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 (a) 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.
