After reading the manual, store it in a safe place for future reference.
Visit the Citizen website (http://www.citizenwatch-global.com/) to view visual
guides for operation of your watch. Some models may be equipped with external
features (calculation scale, tachymeter, etc.). Visual guides for operation of such
external features can also be found on the website.
The illustrations shown in this manual may differ from the actual watch you have purchased.
To check the movement number
A case number−4 alphanumeric characters and
6 or more alphanumeric characters−is engraved
on the case back. (Figure on the right)
The first 4 characters of the case number
represent the movement number of the watch.
In the example on the right, “△△△△” is the
movement number.

nThis watch is a radio wave watch that receives Japan
standard radio waves.
It is equipped with an Automatic Tuning Function that receives radio waves by automatically
selecting the station with the strongest signal, a Automatic Reception Function that sets the
time and date by automatically receiving radio waves at 2:00 AM or 4:00 AM each day, and a On
Demand Reception Function that allows you set the time arbitrarily at any time.
* Standard time waves can only be received in Japan. Radio waves cannot be received overseas.
Japan standard radio waves may be received from Japan when using the watch overseas (such
as in China or Taiwan). When this happens, use the Local Time Mode that maintains the
local time for Japan standard time.
nPlease fully charge your watch before use by exposing
it to light.
If the second hand of the watch is moving at 2-second intervals during use, this means that the
watch is insufficiently charged. Use the watch after charging by referring to section 14 entitled
“General Reference for Solar-Powered Watch Charging Times”.
Since the watch may be covered by clothing and so forth particularly during the winter
preventing it from being exposed to light, charge the watch once a month by exposing to direct
sunlight. In order to ensure that the watch is used comfortably, it is recommended to try to keep
the watch charged at all times by storing in a location where it is exposed to sunlight.

nPlease remember the following for receiving
standard time radio waves.
• Radio waves are received in the [Time Mode] (TME ⁄ 3 locations) and [Local Time
Mode] (L-TM). Radio waves cannot be received in other modes.
Automatic Reception
The time and date are set by automatically receiving radio waves at 2:00 AM or 4:00 AM
each day. (Radio waves are not received at 4:00 AM if they have been received at 2:00 AM.)
On Demand Reception
This function allows radio waves to be received at any time. Use this function when the
reception environment has changed and radio waves are unable to be received by
Automatic Reception. Do not move the watch while receiving radio waves by On
Demand Reception to ensure that they are received properly. (You may have to wait a
maximum of 15 minutes for reception to be completed.)

109
[Reception Procedure]
Take the watch off of your wrist, face the 6:00 position
towards the radio wave transmitter station and place
the watch in a stable location that allows radio waves
to be received easily such as near a window.
• In the case of On Demand Reception, press button
(A) located at the 4:00 position for at least
2 seconds. Release your finger after you hear a confirmatory tone and the second hand
begins to move to the RX: Reception in progress (12:00) position.
• It is not necessary to press button (A) in the case of Automatic Reception.
• It may be difficult to receive radio waves at sunrise or sunset. Avoid these times when
receiving radio waves. Refer to section 4 entitled, “Reception of Radio Waves” for further
details on the procedure for receiving radio waves.
[Confirmation of Reception Result]
Confirm the reception result by pressing button (A) located at the 4:00 position after having
received radio waves to determine whether radio waves have been successfully received.
If the second hand points to “H, M or L”, this indicates that radio waves have been
successfully received. The watch can now be used.
If the second hand points to “NO”, this indicates that radio wave reception has failed.

1. Features
This watch is a radio wave watch that automatically corrects the time and date by receiving
a standard time radio wave (time information) transmitted from radio wave transmitter
stations located in Fukushima and Kyushu. It is also an Eco-Drive radio wave watch
provided with a photoelectric power generation function that converts light energy into
electrical energy to drive the watch. It is also equipped with the features indicated below.
Chronograph Function
• This function allows timing for up to 59 minutes, 59.95 seconds in 1 ⁄ 20 second units.
 Local Time Function
• This function lets you set the watch to the time in a different country or city.
• Local time can be corrected in 1 hour units.
• You can also switch to daylight savings time.
Alarm Function
• The alarm time can be set using a 24-hour clock.
• An alarm sounds for 15 seconds when the time reaches the set alarm time.
Perpetual Calendar Function
• The date is not required to be corrected until February 28, 2100 (elapsed years from
most recent leap year, month, date and day) even if radio waves are not received.

3. Before Using
A. Radio Wave Reception Function
<For Good Reception>
This watch incorporates an antenna for receiving radio waves inside the watch case (at
the 6:00 position). For good reception, it is recommended to have the 6:00 position of
the watch facing in the direction of the radio wave transmitter station when receiving
radio waves. The reception level varies depending on the environment in which the
watch is used. Try receiving radio waves while changing the orientation or location of
the watch while referring to H, M or L that indicates the reception level of the watch.
Find the location and direction where radio waves
are received easily as indicated by H or M being
indicated for the reception level.
[Note]
Modes during which radio waves can be received
consist of the [Time Mode] (TME) and [Local
Time Mode] (L-TM) shown at three locations on
the watch. Please note that radio waves cannot be
received in other modes.
Local time mode (L-TM)
Time mode (TME)

119
• For proper reception of radio waves, remove the watch from your wrist and place the
watch in a stable location that facilitates reception of radio waves such as in front of a
window. Do not move the watch during reception.
• Radio waves may be hard to receive due to blockage by metallic objects or the
environment. When inside a building and so on, reception should be performed as
close to a window as possible.
• When at a location in the Chubu region or Tokai region roughly the same distance
from the two transmitter stations (Fukushima and Kyushu stations), the station from
which radio waves are received may change automatically, making reception time
longer than normal.
<Time Required for Reception>
It takes about 2-13 minutes to receive radio waves. However, if the station from which
radio waves are received is changed automatically during the course of radio wave
reception, reception may take as long as 15 minutes. The watch may return to the
normal display after about 60 seconds due to a poor reception environment that
prevents radio waves from being received.

120
<Locations where Reception may be Difficult>
It may not be possible to properly receive radio waves at the following locations
susceptible to generation of radio wave noise or under the following environmental
conditions that cause difficulty in receiving radio waves.
uNear a cellular
telephone in use
uIn a car, train or airplane
uNear high tension wires
(power lines), railroad
overhead wires or airports
(communication facilities)
uNear household electric appliances
or OA equipment such as TV sets,
refrigerators, personal computers,
fax machines, etc.
uInside a reinforced concrete building,
between tall buildings or in valleys
between mountains or underground
uLocations subject to extremely
high or low temperatures

121
<For Customers Having Difficulty in Receiving Radio Waves>
Radio wave reception is affected by weather conditions and the radio wave
environment at the time of reception. If you are unable to successfully receive
radio waves even when following the procedure described in section 4 entitled,
“Reception of Radio Waves”, maps are available that indicate the direction of travel
of radio waves from the radio wave transmitter stations. Please inquire to the
Citizen Consumer Help Desk if you have difficulty in receiving radio waves.
