1. Features
This watch is a small-size woman’s solar-powered watch with two hands,
provided with a solar cell beneath the dial that converts light energy into
electrical energy to power the watch.

3. Setting the Time
(1) Pull the crown out to the time
correction position.
(2) Turn the crown to set the time.
(3) The watch will start to run when
the crown is securely pushed in
to the normal position.

2. Before Using
This watch is a solar-powered watch.
Before using it, charge the watch sufficiently by exposing it (the face)
to light.
* In the case the watch has stopped moving due to an insufficient
charge, charge the watch by exposing it to sun light or other intence
light.
This watch uses a secondary battery to store electrical energy. This secondary
battery is a clean energy battery that does not contain mercury or other harmful
substances. Once fully charged, the watch will continue to run for about eight
months without recharging.
<For Optimum Use of this Watch>
In order to use this watch comfortably, try to keep the watch charged at all
times. There is no risk of overcharging no matter how often the watch is
charged.
It is recommended to try to charge the watch every day.

4. Unique Functions of
Solar-Powered
Watches
This watch is provided with a function
that causes a warning function to be
activated when the watch is
insufficiently charged that alters the
display to inform the wearer of
insufficient charge.

<Time Setting Warning Function>
Although the watch hands will begin
to move when again exposed to light
after the watch has stopped, since
the time is incorrect, the minute hand
moves in irregular 1-minute interval
movement (in which the minute hand
moves irregularly every minute) to
indicate that the time is incorrect.
Reset the time and sufficiently
recharge the watch. Irregular 1-
second interval movement will
continue until the time has been
reset even if the watch is sufficiently
recharged.
9
<Insufficient Charge Warning
Function>
The minute hand moves by 1-minute
interval movement (in which the
minute hand moves regularly every
minute) to indicate that the watch is
insufficiently charged. Although the
watch will keep the correct time at
this time, after about 8 days have
passed since the start of 1-minute
interval movement, the watch ends
up stopping as a result of being
insufficiently charged. Sufficiently
recharge the watch by exposing to
light so that the minute hand returns
to normal movement (in which the
minute hand moves every 15
seconds).

7.Replacing the Secondary Battery
Unlike ordinary batteries, the secondary battery used in this watch can be
repeatedly charged and discharged and is not required to be periodically
replaced.
CAUTION
Never use another battery different from the secondary battery used in this
watch.
The watch structure is so designed that a different kind of battery other than
that specified cannot be used to operate it. In case a different kind of battery
such as a silver battery is used by some chance, there is a danger that it will be
overcharged to burst, causing damage to the watch and even to the human
body.

6. Handling Precautions
<Try to Keep the Watch Charged at All Times>
Please note that if you wear long sleeves, the watch can easily become
insufficiently charged as a result of the watch being covered and not being
exposed to light. The watch will continue to run properly if it is placed in as
bright a location as possible even when not being worn.
Charging Precautions
· Allowing the watch to reach high temperatures during recharging can damage
the watch. Avoid recharging in locations that can reach high temperatures
(about 60°C /140°F or higher).
Examples: · Charging by placing the watch in close proximity to a light
source that easily becomes hot such as an incandescent lamp
or halogen lamp.
· Charging the watch in a location that can easily become hot
such as on an automobile dashboard
· When charging using the light from an incandescent lamp, charge while being
careful that the watch does not become excessively hot by placing at a
distance of at least 50 cm (20in) from the lamp

8. Precautions
CAUTION: Water-resistance performance
There are several types of water-resistant watches, as
shown in the following table.
The unit "bar" is roughly equal to 1 atmosphere.
* WATER RESIST(ANT) xx bar may also be indicated
as W.R. xx bar.

• If seawater enters the watch, place the watch in a box or plastic bag and
immediately take it in for repair. Otherwise, pressure inside the watch will increase,
and parts (crystal, crown, buttons, etc.) may come off.
CAUTION: Keep your watch clean.
• Leaving dust and dirt deposited between the case and crown may result in difficulty
in pulling the crown out. Rotate the crown while in its normal position, from time to
time, to loosen dust and dirt and then brush it off.
• Dust and dirt tend to be deposited in gaps in the back of the case or band.
Deposited dust and dirt may cause corrosion and soil your clothing. Clean the watch
occasionally.
Cleaning the Watch
• Use a soft cloth to wipe off dirt, perspiration and water from the case and crystal .
• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off perspiration and dirt from the leather band.
• To clean a metal, plastic, or rubber watchband, wash away dirt with mild soap and
water. Use a soft brush to remove dust and dirt jammed in the gaps in the metal
band. If your watch is not water-resistant, take it to your dealer.
NOTE: Avoid using solvents (thinner, benzine, etc.), as they may mar the finish.
17
• Water-resistance for daily use (to 3 atmospheres): This type of watch is water-
resistant to minor exposure to water. For example, you may wear the watch while
washing your face; however, it is not designed for use underwater.
• Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 5 atmospheres): This type of watch is
water-resistant to moderate exposure to water. You may wear the watch while
swimming; however, it is not designed for use while skin diving.
• Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 10/20 atmospheres): This type of watch
may be used for skin diving; however, it is not designed for scuba or saturated
diving using helium gas.
CAUTION
• Be sure to use the watch with the crown pressed in (normal position). If your watch
has a screw-type crown, be sure to tighten the crown completely.
• Do NOT operate the crown with wet fingers or when the watch is wet. Water may
enter the watch and compromise water-resistance.
• If the watch is used in seawater, rinse with fresh water afterward and wipe with a dry
cloth.
• If moisture has entered the watch, or if the inside of the crystal is fogged up and
does not become clear within a day, immediately take the watch to your dealer or
Citizen Service Center for repair. Leaving the watch in such a state will allow
corrosion to form inside.
16

• Do NOT subject the watch to a strong shock such as dropping it onto a hard floor.
• Avoid using the watch in an environment where it may be exposed to chemicals or
corrosive gases.
If solvents, such as thinner and benzine, or substances containing such solvents
come in contact with the watch, discoloration, melting, cracking, etc. may result. If
the watch comes in contact with mercury used in thermometers, the case, band or
other parts may become discolored.
Periodical inspections
Your watch needs inspection once in every two or three years for safety and long
use.
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 Citizen geuine parts upon replacement.
19
CAUTION: Operating environment
• Use the watch within the operating-temperature range specified in the instruction
manual.
Using the watch where temperatures are outside the specified range, may result in
deterioration of functions or even stoppage of the watch.
• Do NOT use the watch in places where it is exposed to high temperature, such as in
a sauna.
Doing so may result in a skin burn.
• Do NOT leave the watch in a place where it is exposed to high temperature, such as
the glove compartment or dash-board of a car.
Doing so may result in deterioration of the watch, such as deformation of plastic
parts.
• Do NOT place the watch close to a magnet.
Timekeeping will become inaccurate if you place the watch close to magnetic health
equipment such as a magnetic necklace or a magnetic latch of a refrigerator door or
handbag clasp or the earphone of a mobile phone. If this has occurred, move the
watch away from the magnet and reset the time.
• Do NOT place the watch close to household appliances that generate static
electricity.
Timekeeping may become inaccurate if the watch is exposed to strong static
electricity, such as is emitted from a TV screen.
