.
§5. CHARGING THE BATTERY
A. Charging the Battery
This watch has a battery which is charged by exposing the dial to light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent lamps.
To obtain the best performance:
Expose the dial to direct sunlight at least once a month.
• After taking off the watch, put it
where 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, fully charge the
battery.
When the watch is covered with long sleeves, for example, the battery may not be charged sufficiently. Try to keep the watch exposed to light.
Do not charge the battery at a high temperature (about 60°C/140°F or higher).
B. When the Battery Becomes Short of Power—Insufficient Charge Warning
Function
When the battery becomes short of power, the second hand moves once every two seconds—insufficient charge warning function. Charge the battery by exposing the dial to light.

D. After the Battery is Fully Charged—Overcharge Prevention Function
After the battery is fully charged, charging automatically stops to prevent overcharging, which may damage to the battery, or affect the accuracy, functions, and performance of the watch.
Eco-Drive
This watch has the ”Eco-Drive” system, which converts light into electrical energy with the solar cell beneath the dial.
The system makes you free from care of battery replacement and is environment-friendly because of no battery disposal.
The two-second interval movement
• After the battery is charged for a while, the second
hand will move normally.
• If you have not charged the battery for three days
or more since the warning movement began, the battery will run out and the watch will stop.
Note:
You cannot check or adjust the settings while the warning movement continues, though you can see the time.

Daily maintenance
• Rotate the crown while it is pressed in (position ) and press the buttons periodically so that
they will not be rusty.
• Wipe off dirt, perspiration, and water from the case and glass with a soft cloth.
• 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 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 packing needs to be replaced regularly.
Other parts need to be inspected and replaced if necessary. Ask for genuine Citizen parts upon replacement.
