While listening to your device with headphones, make sure you have set the volume to a reasonable level in order to avoid damage to your ears.
If the TAG Heuer Connected Watch or any of its accessories are not working properly, take them to your nearest qualified service center.
(ii) Exposure to liquid
The TAG Heuer Connected Watch is water-resistant to 50m/5ATM. You may, for example, wear and use the TAG Heuer Connected Watch for shallow-water activities such as swimming or in the rain. However, it should not be used for activities involving submersion below shallow depth or high-velocity water such as scuba diving, or water-skiing.
Be sure to clean and rinse your watch with fresh water after it has been in salt water or chlorinated water and dry it thoroughly with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth.
If you perspire with your watch or your watch gets wet while wearing (even with fresh water), always dry it carefully before placing it on its charging cradle.
Be aware that straps other than metal or rubber and any charging accessories are not water-resistant.
The following must also be avoided as it could damage your watch (it could notably affect the water resistance and cause cosmetic issues):

  • exposing the TAG Heuer Connected Watch to soap, detergent, acids or acidic foods, and any liquids other than water, such as perfume, insect repellent, lotions, sunscreen, oil, adhesive remover, hair dye, or solvents;
  • dropping the TAG Heuer Connected Watch or subjecting it to impacts.
  • exposing the TAG Heuer Connected Watch to pressurized water or high-velocity water, for example, diving, and surfing.
  • wearing the TAG Heuer Connected Watch in the sauna or steam room.

Please note that the touch screen and other features may get deactivated temporarily while the TAG Heuer Connected Watch is wet. If the TAG Heuer Connected Watch or your hands are wet, dry them thoroughly before handling the watch.
Be sure to carefully follow those instructions when using your TAG Heuer Connected Watch, as any use in contradiction with those instructions would void the International Limited Guarantee.
(iii) Using buttons, Digital Crown, connectors, and ports
Never apply excessive pressure to a button on the TAG Heuer Connected Watch, or force a charging connector into a port, because this may cause damage that is not covered under the International Limited Guarantee. If the connector and port do not join with reasonable ease, they probably do not match. Check for obstructions and make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.
Certain usage patterns can contribute to the fraying or breaking of cables. The cable attached to a charging unit, like any other metal wire or cable, is subject to becoming weak or brittle if repeatedly bent in the same spot. Aim for gentle curves instead of angles in the cable. Regularly inspect the cable and connector for any kinks, breaks, bends, or other damage. Should you find any such damage, discontinue the use of the cable.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy and Specific Absorption Rate Information
This device is a radio transmitter and receiver that uses an internal antenna to send and receive low levels of radio frequency (RF) energy for data communications. The device emits RF energy below the published limits when operating in its maximum output power mode and when used with TAG Heuer authorized accessories. To comply with RF exposure compliance requirements, the device should not be used in other configurations.
This device must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other transmitter or antenna.
The TAG Heuer Connected Watch meets the EU, US, and Canada requirements for exposure to radio waves. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to RF energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the US Government, Industry Canada (IC) of the Canadian Government, the French Government, and recommended by the Council of the European Union when used as directed in these Instructions, to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or condition.

The exposure standard for radio electrical devices uses a unit of measurement 7 known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Please note that:

  • In the United States and Canada, the allowable SAR limits are the following: 1.6 W/kg (averaged over any 1 gram of tissue) for the head, neck, and trunk; 2.0 W/kg (averaged over any 10 grams of tissue) for limbs;
  • In the EU, the recommended SAR limits are the following: 1.6 W/ kg (averaged over any 10 grams of tissue) for the head and trunk; 2.0 W/kg (averaged over any 10 grams of tissue) for limbs (these are legal requirements in France).

The SAR limit recommended by the ICNIRP (International Commission for protection against non-ionizing radiation) is 2 W/kg.
Additionally, the SAR limit that applies to residents of countries/regions that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), including the US, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of human tissue.

German Civil Code.
Irrespective of the rights granted under the Guarantee, if your Product is defective and does not conform to the contract at the time of delivery, you are entitled by Sec. 434 ff. 474 ff. BGB, at your choice, to a replacement or to have the Product repaired. If we are not able to replace or repair your defective Product or refuse to do so, you may be entitled to revoke the purchase agreement, reduce the purchase price, or demand damages or reimbursement of futile expenditure.

The statutory warranty and consumer protection rights, in particular Sec. 434 ff. 474 ff. BGB, are not limited, modified, taken away, disclaimed, excluded or suspended thereby. TAG Heuer shall not be liable for any incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with the Guarantee. In this respect, TAG Heuer shall only be liable on the merits of willful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence. The aforesaid limitation of liability shall not apply in case of damages to the life, the body, or the health of a person; the same applies to compulsory liability according to the German Product Liability Act.
– Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg
This Guarantee is without prejudice to your rights and remedies available to you in accordance with the Luxembourg legal (i) warranty of conformity described in articles L212-1 to L-212-7 of the Luxembourg Consumer Code and (ii) warranty against hidden defects in the conditions set out in articles 1641 to 1649 of the Luxembourg Civil Code.
With respect to the warranty of conformity, a professional must deliver a product that conforms to the contract and is held liable for any lack of conformity that exists upon delivery, even if unknown to him. He is also liable for any lack of conformity caused by the packaging, the assembly instructions, or the installation if such installation formed part of the contract or took place under his responsibility. To invoke the professional’s legal warranty of conformity, the consumer must, by any means, inform the latter of the default in conformity within a delay of two years as of the delivery of the Product.
With respect to the warranty against hidden defects, articles 1641 and following of the Luxembourg Civil Code state that “a seller is bound by a warranty against hidden defects in the thing sold that renders it unfit for its intended use, or that so impairs such use that the buyer would not have bought it, or would only have given a lesser price for it if he had known of the defects”. In accordance with article 1648 of the Luxembourg Civil Code, the buyer must inform the seller of the hidden defects within a brief delay as of the moment the defect was discovered or should have been discovered.

Pursuant to Section 130 of the Consumers’ Code, in case of a lack of conformity and at your discretion, you may request TAG Heuer to repair or replace the defective Product, free of charge in either case, unless the remedy requested is impossible or disproportionate.

Consequently, if the defect appears in the last month of the guarantee period, you have two additional months to notify the lack of conformity. Overall, your right to exercise the legal guarantee expires in 26 months.
