Notes on the time signal reception
Receiving the time signal
There are three ways to receive the time signal:
• The second hand indicates the reception result (OK/NO). (See page 17.)
Methods Explanations
Automatic reception
On demand reception
Recovery automatic
reception
* These reception methods are possible only when the crown is in position
• The watch will not receive the time signal when in a low charge state as indicated by the
second hand moving in two second increments (the insufficient charge warning). Charge
the watch before reception.
Receives the signal at 2:00 a.m. every day. If reception is
unsuccessful, the watch tries to receive at 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m.
Receives the signal when you want to adjust the time and date.
See page 30.
Automatically receives the signal once after charging when the
watch stops due to insufficient charge.
.
22
Page 24
Notes on the time signal reception
• The automatic reception function and recovery automatic reception function cannot be
deactivated.
• Even when this watch receives the time signal successfully, the accuracy of the displayed
time will be dependent on the reception environment and internal processing.
• If the watch is not able to receive the signal, it will operate normally within an accuracy
range of ±15 seconds per month.
When receiving the time signal
Remove the watch and place it on a stable surface where
it can receive the signal better, such as next to a window.
• The reception antenna is located at the 9:00 position
of the watch. Place the watch with the 9:00 position
facing toward the station.
• Do not move the watch during time signal reception.

When signal reception is poor
High-tension electrical lines or other structures near your house may block the path to the
signal station. This may result in a poor environment for receiving the time signal.
With reference to pages 25 to 27, search for a better place for reception. Then, attempt to
receive the time signal following the procedure on pages

extremely high such as on the dashboard of a vehicle.
Recharging Precautions
53
Page 55
Eco-Drive watch handling precautions Eco-Drive watch handling precautions
<Replacement of Rechargeable Cell>
• This watch utilizes a special rechargeable cell that does not require periodical replacement. However
power consumption may increase after using the watch for a number of years due to wear of internal
components and deterioration of oils. This may cause stored power to be depleted at a faster rate. For
optimal performance, we recommend having your watch inspected every 2-3 years for proper operation
and condition check.
WARNING
• The rechargeable cell should never be removed from the watch.
If for any reason it becomes necessary to remove the rechargeable cell from the watch, keep out of the reach
of children to prevent accidental swallowing.
If the rechargeable cell is accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
• Do not dispose of the rechargeable cell with ordinary garbage. Please follow the instructions of your
municipality regarding collection of batteries to prevent the risk of fire or environmental contamination.
Handling of Rechargeable Cell
54
Page 56
WARNING
• Never use a battery other than the rechargeable cell specified for use in this watch.
Although the watch structure is designed so that it will not operate when another type of battery is
installed, if a conventional watch battery or other type of battery is installed in the watch and the watch is
recharged, there is the risk of overcharging which may cause the battery to rupture.
This can cause damage to the watch and injury to the wearer.
When replacing the rechargeable cell, always make sure to use the designated rechargeable cell.

Precautions
60
Page 62
CAUTION
<Band>
• Leather bands and rubber (urethane) bands will deteriorate over time due to perspiration dirt.
Because of the natural materials, leather band will be worn, deformed, and discolored over time. It is
recommended to replace the band periodically.
• The durability of a leather band may be affected when wet (fading, peeling of adhesive), owing to the
properties of the material. Moreover, wet leather may cause a rash.
• Do not stain a leather band with substances containing volatile materials, bleach, alcohol (including
cosmetics). Discoloration and premature aging may be occurred. Ultraviolet light such as direct sunlight
may cause discoloration or deformation.
• It is recommended to take off the watch if it gets wet, even if the watch itself is water-resistant.
• Do not wear the band too tightly. Try to leave enough space between the band and your skin to allow
adequate ventilation.
• The rubber (urethane) band may be stained by dyes or soil present in or on clothing or other accessories.
Since these stains may not be removable, caution is required when wearing your watch with items that
tend to easily transfer color (articles of clothing, purses, etc.). In addition, the band may be deteriorated
by solvents or moisture in the air. Replace with a new one when it has lost elasticity or become cracked.

Precautionary items and usage limitations Precautionary items and usage limitations
CAUTION
• Please request adjustment or repair of the band in the following cases:
• You notice an abnormality with the band due to corrosion.
• The pin of the band is protruding.
• We recommend seeking the assistance of an experienced watch technician for sizing of your watch. If
adjustment is not done correctly, the bracelet may unexpectedly become detached leading to loss of your
watch or injury.

<Temperature>
• The watch may stop or the function of the watch may be impaired in extremely high or low temperature.
Do not use the watch in places where the temperature is outside the operating temperature range as stated
in the specifications.
<Magnetism>
• Analog quartz watches are powered by a step motor that uses a magnet. Subjecting the watch to strong
magnetism from the outside can cause the motor to operate improperly and prevent the watch from
keeping time accurately.
Do not allow the watch to come into close proximity to magnetic health devices (magnetic necklaces,
magnetic elastic bands, etc.) or the magnets used in the latches of refrigerator doors, clasps used in
handbags, the speaker of a cell phone, electromagnetic cooking devices and so on.

<Strong Shock>
• Avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to other strong impact. It may cause malfunctions and/or
performance deterioration as well as damage to the case and bracelet.
<Static Electricity>
• The integrated circuits (IC) used in quartz watches are sensitive to static electricity. Please note that the
watch may not indicate the correct time if exposed to intense static electricity.
<Chemicals, Corrosive Gasses and Mercury>
• If paint thinner, benzene or other solvents or products containing these solvents (including gasoline, nailpolish remover, cresol, bathroom cleaners and adhesives, water repellent, etc.) are allowed to come into
contact with the watch, they may discolor, dissolve or crack the materials. Be careful when handling these
chemicals. Contact with mercury such as that used in thermometers may also cause discoloration of the
band and case.
<Protective Stickers>
• Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case back, band, clasp, etc.).
Otherwise, perspiration or moisture may enter the gaps between the protective stickers and the parts,
which may result in a skin rash and/or corrosion of the metal parts.
63

Precautionary items and usage limitations Precautionary items and usage limitations
CAUTION
• 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.
• The case and band of the watch come into direct contact with the skin. Corrosion of the metal or
accumulated foreign matter may result in black residue coming from the bracelet when exposed to
moisture or perspiration. Be sure to keep your watch clean at all times.
• Be sure to periodically clean the bracelet and case of your watch to remove accumulated dirt and foreign
matter. In rare circumstances, accumulated dirt, foreign matter may cause irritation with the skin. If you
notice this, discontinue wearing the watch and consult your physician.
• Be sure to periodically clean foreign matter and accumulated materials from the metal band, synthetic
rubber strap (polyurethane) and/or metal case using a soft brush and mild soap. Be careful not to allow
moisture on the case if your watch is not water resistant.
• Leather bands may become discolored by perspiration or dirt. Always keep your leather band clean by
wiping with a dry cloth.
Always Keep Your Watch Clean
64
Page 66
CAUTION
• Wipe any dirt or moisture such as perspiration from the case and crystal with a soft cloth.
• For metallic, plastic or synthetic rubber (polyurethane) band, clean it with soap and a soft toothbrush. Be
sure to thoroughly rinse the band after cleaning to remove any soap residue.
• For a leather band, wipe off dirt using a dry cloth.
• If you will not be using your watch for an extended period of time, carefully wipe off any perspiration,
dirt or moisture and store in a proper location, avoiding locations subject to excessively high or low
temperatures and high humidity.
<When Luminous Paint is used for your watch>
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 will appear bright at first and then diminish 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.

Warranty and service
<Periodic Inspection (Charge Basis)>
• Water resistance
As the water resistance will be reduced over time, you should have your watch inspected and its water
resistance verified every 2-3 years (charge basis) to extend its life and ensure safety. To maintain its water
resistance, it is recommended to request us to replace the packings and other parts of your watch.
• Disassembling for internal cleaning (repair)
You should have your watch disassembled and its internal components cleaned periodically to extend its
life.
Lubrication oils are used to reduce wearing of moving parts such as gears. However, over time the
lubrication oils will degrade and wear will increase, eventually resulting in malfunction. Please have your
watch undergo internal cleaning every 5 years (although the maintenance frequency depends on the usage
circumstances).
<Request to Customers>
All parts of this watch, except for the band, are to be repaired only at CITIZEN.
This is because special technologies and equipment are required to perform repairs, inspections and
adjustments. Please make requests for repairs to Customer Support Center when having your watch repaired.
