Notes on charging your watch
This watch has a rechargeable cell which is charged by exposing the dial to light such
as direct sunlight or fluorescent lamps.
For optimal performance:
• Expose the watch with the dial towards direct sunlight for several hours at least once
a month.
• After taking off the watch, put it in a position so that the dial is exposed to bright
light, such as by a window.
• Before storing the watch in a dark place for an extended period of time, be sure to
charge it fully.
When the watch is regularly covered with long sleeves, it may not be charged
sufficiently. Try to keep the watch exposed to light sufficient for charging.
Do not charge the watch at a high temperature (about 60˚C/140˚F or higher).
Page 17
17
When the watch reaches a low charge state—insufficient charge warning
function
When the power reserve becomes low, the second hand moves once every two
seconds—This is the insufficient charge warning function. Charge the watch by
exposing the dial to light.
• After the watch is charged, the second hand will move normally. See page 18.
• If you have not charged the watch for three days or more since the insufficient
charge warning movement began, the watch will run out power and stop.
Caution
When the second hand moves once every
two seconds, you cannot use any functions—
chronograph, alarm, etc.—except the time indication.

Precautions
Warnings
Handling the rechargeable cell
• Do not remove the rechargeable cell. If it is removed, keep the rechargeable cell out of the reach of
children to prevent ingestion.
• If the rechargeable cell is swallowed, consult a doctor and seek medical treatment.
Page 23

Cautions
About charging
• Excessively high temperature when charging the watch may cause discoloration and deformation
of the components, and result in malfunction of the movement.
• Do not charge the watch at a high temperature (about 50˚C/122˚F or higher).
Example:
- charging the watch too close to light such as an
incandescent lamp or halogen lamp (Halogen lights are
not recommended for charging due to their high heat
output.)
- charging the watch in locations where the temperature
may become extremely high—such as on the dashboard
of a vehicle
Page 24
24
To avoid injury
• DO NOT wear the watch where the temperature becomes extremely high—such as in a sauna. The
watch may become hot and burn the skin.
To avoid malfunction
• DO NOT use the watch where the temperature is lower or higher than the operating temperature
specified in this manual. Doing so may cause the watch to malfunction or stop.
• DO NOT place the watch nearby any materials generating a strong magnetic field such as:
– magnetic health equipment such as a magnetic necklace
– a magnetic latch of a refrigerator door
– a magnetic clasp on a handbag
– a magnetic coin tray
– speakers of a mobile phone
– electromagnetic cooking devices
They may interfere with function of the movement in the watch causing it to stop or operate
erratically.
• DO NOT place the watch on or nearby household appliances that generate static electricity such as
Televisions or computer monitors. The timekeeping may be affected.
• DO NOT apply any strong shock, for example, by dropping it onto a hard floor.
Page 25
25
• Avoid using the watch where it may be exposed to chemicals or corrosive gases. If solvents, such
as thinners or benzine, or substances containing such solvents come in contact with the watch,
discoloration, melting, cracking, etc. may occur.
The case, band, or other parts may become discolored if the watch comes into contact with some
household chemicals mercury that may be found in thermometers.

Warnings on water-resistance performance
• Water-resistance for daily use: This type of watch is resistant to minor exposure to water such as
accidental splashing. For example, you may wear the watch while washing your face; however, it is
not designed to be used underwater.
• Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (tested to 5 bar): This type of watch is resistant to
moderate exposure to water. You may wear the watch while swimming; however, it is not designed
to be used for skin diving.
• Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (tested to 10 or 20 bar): This type of watch may be used
for skin diving; however, it is not designed to be used for scuba or saturation diving.
• Before use, confirm the water-resistance level of your watch indicated on the dial and case,
referencing the table on the next page. (The unit “bar” is roughly equal to 1 atmosphere.)
• “WATER RESIST(ANT) xx bar” may also be indicated as “W.R. xx bar.”

Cautions on exposure to water
• Be sure to use the watch with the crown pressed in fully (normal position) to ensure the water
resistance. If the crown of your watch is the screw down crown, be sure to tighten it completely.
• Do not operate the crown or buttons when the watch is wet.
• If water has penetrated the watch, or if the inside of the glass is fogged up and does not become
clear in a day, take the watch to your dealer or Citizen Service Center for repair. Leaving the watch
in such a state will rust the internal parts and cause malfunction.
• If seawater penetrates the watch, place the watch in a box or plastic bag and immediately take it in
for repair. Otherwise, the pressure inside the watch will increase, and parts (glass, crown, buttons,
etc.) may come off.
• If the watch is used in seawater, rinse with fresh water afterward and wipe with a dry cloth after
each use.
Page 29
29
Keep your watch clean
• Keep your watch clean to prevent rust or dirt building up as this may stain your clothes, damage
the watch or appear as black residue on your wrist. Depending on use, occasional cleaning of the
exterior of your watch may be necessary.
• Wipe dirt off the leather band with a soft and dry cloth to prevent it from discoloring.
Page 30
30
Maintenance
Daily maintenance
• Rotate the crown while it is pressed in fully and press the buttons periodically so they do not
become stuck due to accumulations of foreign matter.
• Wipe off dirt, perspiration, and water from the case and glass with a clean soft cloth occasionally.
• To clean a metal, plastic, or rubber watchband, wash away dirt with water. Use a soft brush to
remove dust and dirt stuck in the gaps in a metal band.
•
Do not use a polishing type of cloth as this may damage the surface and certain treatments.
•
Do not use solvents (thinner, benzine, etc.), as they may damage the finish.
Periodical inspections
Your watch needs an inspection once every two or three years for safety and longer usage. To keep
your watch water-resistant, the gaskets and other components need to be replaced regularly. Other
parts need to be inspected and replaced if necessary.
Always ask for genuine Citizen parts upon replacement.
Page 31

Information
Luminous dials and hands
The paint on the dial and hands helps you with reading the time in a dark place. The luminous paint
stores light (daylight or artificial light) and glows in a dark place.
It is free from any radioactive substance or any other material harmful to a human body or
environment.
• The light emission gradually becomes weaker as time passes.
• The duration of the light (“glow”) will vary depending on the brightness, types of and distance
from a light source, exposure time, and the amount of the paint.
• The paint may not glow and/or may dissipate quickly if exposure to light was not sufficient.
