timepiece is wet.
Getting Started with Eco-Drive
(Does not apply to conventional battery operated models)
Your new Eco-Drive timepiece is specially powered by proprietary ECO-DRIVE TECHNOLOGY,
which converts any source of light (natural and articial) into usable energy. The harnessed energy
is then stored in a special power reserve to keep your timepiece charged and running properly.
When fully charged, your Eco-Drive will continue running - even in total darkness- for at least six
(6) months. Properly maintained, it will never need another battery.
If you wear your new Citizen Eco-Drive timepiece on a regular basis, recharging will be virtually
automatic as regular exposure to light will keep your power reserve unending.
Recharge times will vary based on your timepiece and the type of light utilized. Direct sunlight is
the fastest, most efcient light source for recharging. Recharging information for your basic analog
timepiece can be found on page 4 of this booklet. For other models, please refer to your specic
instruction booklet or the technical support section of our web site at www.citizenwatch.com.
If you plan to store your Citizen Eco-Drive in the dark, you should do this for no more than six (6)
months. After this extended period of time, you should ensure that your timepiece is exposed to
bright light for the full recharge period as outlined in the recharge guide on page 4 in order to return
