CAUTION FOR SAFE DIVING
• Always use the ‘buddy system’ when diving.
• This product is recommended for sports diving to depths of about 15-20m (50-65ft).
• Early batter y replacement is recommended. A new battery will last approxi­mately 2 years.(This will vary according to the frequency of use of the depth meter function.)
• Rest fully after diving as specified by safety rules. Riding in an airplane or moving to a high altitude too soon after diving can bring about decompres­sion sickness.

A. DIVING WITH THIS WATCH

CAUTION DIVING WITH THIS WATCH
• Only use this diving watch after undergoing correct instruction and training in diving and always obey the accompanying rules.
• Make sure you fully understand the handling of the watch and the caution items in order to use it correctly. Please note that the watch may not function correctly if you handle it other than as indicated in this instruction manual.
WARNING DEPTH METER FUNCTION
• This watch’s depth meter function is not approved as a depth meter for offi­cial organizations. Use it as an auxiliary or backup instrument.
• Only use this watch’s depth meter values as a guideline.

CAUTION PRECAUTIONS FOR DIVING
< Before diving >
• Make sure that the crown is pushed firmly in and locked in place.
• Make sure that the band is firmly attached to the watch body.
• Make sure that there are no cracks, flaws or chips on the watch band or glass.
• Make sure that the register ring will rotate correctly.
• Make sure that the time and calendar are set correctly.
• Make sure that the depth alarm and diving time alarm are set correctly.
• Make sure that the second hand is moving correctly.
* If the second hand is moving in 2 second increments, then the battery is
low. Request battery replacement by Citizen at the place of purchase or send directly to a Citizen Service Center.
PROHIBITION PROHIBITION WHEN DIVING
Do not use this watch for diving in the following cases.
• When the low battery warning function is activated. ...When the life of the battery is near ing its end, the second hand moves in 2
second intervals.
• When the watch stops or exhibits any abnormal functioning.
• The depth measurement is outside the assured temperature range. ...The temperature range in which the accuracy of this watch’s depth meter
is guaranteed is +10˚C - +40˚C (50˚F - 104˚F).
• In potentially dangerous activities or conditions. ...This watch is not designed for use in maritime emergencies or to prevent
sea disasters, etc.
• When using a helium enriched environment. ...This might cause breakdown or damage.

CAUTION DIVING AT HIGH ALTITUDE AND IN
FRESHWATER
• Be sure to complete special safety training before diving in fresh water or at high altitude.
• Do not use this watch at altitudes over 4,000 meters (13,124ft), because accurate measurement is not possible.
• This watch displays change in depth based on a standard of seawater (den­sity 1.025), so the actual depth in fresh water will be 2.5% greater than the depth displayed.
Example: 20m/66ft (indicated depth) X 1.025 = 20.5m/68ft (actual depth)
The pressure sensor is calibrated to the surrounding pressure at a depth of 0m (0ft) when the watch is switched to Diving Modes.Sealevel is also set to 0m (0ft) when the watch is switched to Diving Modes in a lake at high altitude. However, do not use at an altitude of over 4,000m (13,124ft) because accurate measurement is not possible.
< During diving >
•Avoid ascending very quickly to prevent your body from being affected by the bends, etc. Surface at a safe speed of within 9m/30ft. per minute.
This ascending speed is in accordance with the U.S.Navy Diving Manual (1993 edition).
•Never operate the crown or any buttons except button
A
when underwater.
Doing so may result in a fault such as poor water resistance.
• Be careful because the alarm may be hard to hear underwater because of the sound of your breathing.
< After diving >
• After making sure that the crown is locked in place, wash the watch free of seawater, mud and sand using fresh water, then wipe the water off with a dry cloth.
•Do not attempt to remove the sensor cover and remove any dirt or debris clogging the sensor with a sharp instrument. If there is any debris, flush it out with fresh water.If you cannot do so, consult a Citizen Service Center.

J. HOW TO USE THE DIVE MODE

Pressing button Bwhen in any of the Diving Modes (Log Mode, Depth Alarm Mode and Diving Time Mode) switches the watch to Dive Mode. If you switch to this mode before diving, the depth measurement is always dis­played during the dive.You can also check the diving time and the maximum depth by button operation during the dive.
The surrounding pressure when this watch is switched from Time Modes to Diving Modes is set to 0m (0ft) as the depth measurement standard. Therefore, if there is an extreme change in atmospheric pressure after select­ing Diving Modes and before actually diving, the display may be different from the actual depth. In order to carry out correct depth measurement, switch to Diving Modes just before diving.

K. THIS WATCH’s WARNING FUNCTIONS

This watch has the following 2 warning functions. Please use them as a guide for safe diving.
1. ASCENDING SPEED WARNING FUNCTION
If the ascending speed during a dive exceeds
1.5m (5ft) per 10 seconds, this alarm sounds
for 10 seconds as a ascending speed warning. When the ascending speed warning alarm is sounding, the digital display alternately shows SLW and the current depth. The alarm continues to sound until the ascending speed becomes normal.

[When ER (error) is displayed during use]
• When ER is displayed during use on land or when the watch is switched to Diving Modes.
• When the ER display is not cancelled even a long time after a dive is fin­ished.
In the above cases, there might be something wrong with the pressure sensor. In such a case, stop using the watch and consult someone at the place of pur-
chase or your nearest Citizen Service Center.
[You cannot switch to another mode from Dive Mode]
If there is a pressure change of 1m/4ft or more while in Dive Mode in an envi­ronment where pressure changes occur for short periods of time (high altitude, in the airplane), the water depth measurement display does not return to 0.0m (0ft) even when you land, and you might be unable to cancel Dive Mode.
If this happens, pull out the crown and Dive Mode will be cancelled. If you cancel Dive Mode in this way, the log data will not be recorded.
47

L. IN CASE OF THE FOLLOWING

[The second hand moves at 2-second intervals]
The battery is nearing the end of its life, and the low battery warning device is working. When this happens, replace the battery as soon as possible. (Even when this happens, the watch still keeps the correct time.) Note that the following cannot be done when the watch is in this state.
1.The alar ms do not sound.
2.You can switch to Diving Modes, but not to Dive Mode.
3. If this function is activated with the depth measurement display, the diving alarm will not sound. If this happens, stop diving.
Request battery replacement by Citizen at the place of purchase or send directly to a Citizen Service Center.
46

M. ALL RESET

All Reset cancels all stored data, so please record any necessary data in a logbook beforehand.
(1) Pull the crown out. (2) Press all three buttons simultaneously, then
release them.
(3) Push the crown in to its normal position.
There will be a confirmation beep. All data is erased after All Reset, so set each mode again correctly before use.
49
[If the watch’s display or operation is abnormal]
If a strong impact or strong static electricity is applied to the watch, abnormal display or operation (such as the digital display malfunction or the alarm continuing to sound) might occur on a rare occasion. If this happens, carry out “M. ALL RESET”.
[After battery replacement]
After replacing the battery, always carry out procedures in “M. ALL RESET”. If you do not, the watch may not work correctly.

N. BATTERY

1 Battery life The life of the battery is about 2 years after installation.
< Approximate conditions of use >
Time alarms: 15 seconds/day No.of dives: 50 dives/year (time of 1 dive:1 hour)
• Depth alarm ... 45 seconds/dive
• Diving time alarm ...30 seconds/dive
The life of the battery may be shorter depending on how much the alarms, chronograph, etc. are used and depending on the number of dives and the time of each dive.
2 The first battery The battery already installed in the watch when you purchase it is a monitor battery for looking at the functions and performance. This battery might run out within 2 years of purchase.
50
2. NO DECOMPRESSION LIMITS
The range of time when it is unnecessary to stop to decompress while surfacing from a dive is determined by the depth and time of the dive. These values are referred to as “No Decompression Limits.”Use these as estimates when diving.
No Decompression Limits, based on the U.S. Navy Diving Manual (1993), are printed on the band of this watch. (Some models may not have this chart.)
<Reading the chart>

O. OTHER FUNCTIONS

1. REGISTER RING
The register ring means the rotating bezel fitted around the watch body.
• This is used when measuring elapsed time or time remaining.
< Using the register ring >
Before starting a dive, rotate the register ring to the left so that the mark is lined up with the minute hand.You can know the elapsed time from that point by reading what the minute hand indicates on the scale on the register ring. Example: In the diagram on the left, the register ring indicates that 10 minutes have elapsed from the start of the dive (from the mark position).
CAUTION
• The register ring can only be rotated in a counterclockwise direction in order to prevent operation error. Trying to force the register ring to rotate in a clockwise direction will damage it.
• When you use the register ring, allow some leeway in the set time and always use it as an approximate guide.

Caution: The no decompression limit
is different depending on body condi­tion or personal differences. Please use the no decompression limits on this watch as a guideline. When a dive requires no decompres­sion limits, make sure you follow a specialized divers manual.
Example: If the diver is at 21m (70ft.) for 50 minutes or less, then it is OK to surface without stopping to decom­press. * This No Decompression Limits table
is for 1 dive.
