2. Before Using
Sufficiently charge the watch prior to use by exposing the dial to light. A
considerable amount of time is required to recharge the watch so that it is able
to run again once it has stopped. It is therefore recommended to prevent the
watch from becoming insufficiently charged by making an effort to recharge it
every day.
* Recharge the watch by exposing it to sunlight or other intense light if it has
stopped.
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 six 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.
3. Setting the Time
* If the crown is of the screw-lock type, operate after first loosening the screw by
turning the crown to the left, and after operation is completed, return the crown to
the normal position and then securely tightening the screw by pushing the crown
in while turning to the right.
(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.

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.

Irregular 1-minute
interval movement

<Insufficient Charge Warning Function>
The minute hand moves by 1-minute interval
movement (in which the minute hand moves
regularly in three steps every minute) to
indicate that the watch is insufficiently
charged. Although the watch will keep the
correct time at this time, after about 3 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 4 seconds).
8 9
<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 in three steps 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.

<Overcharging Prevention Function>
When the secondary battery becomes fully charged, the overcharging prevention
function is activated to prevent the battery from being charged further, enabling the
watch to be recharged without worrying about overcharging.

5. General Reference for Charging Times
Recharging time varies according to the watch model (such as the color of the dial). The
times in the table below should therefore only be used as a rough reference.
* Charging time refers to the amount of time during which the watch is continuously
exposed to light.

Full charge time: Time to fully recharge the watch after it has stopped.
One day usage: Time required for recharging the watch to run for 1 day with normal hand
movement (4-second interval movement).
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

12 13
· 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.
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.

• 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.
• 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 water. Use a
soft brush to remove dust and dirt jammed in the gaps in the metal band.
NOTE: Avoid using solvents (thinner, benzine, etc.), as they may mar the finish.

18 19
Timekeeping may become inaccurate if the watch is exposed to strong static
electricity, such as is emitted from a TV screen.
• 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 requires inspection once 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 are required to be inspected and replaced as necessary.
Ask for Citizen geuine parts during replacement.
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 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, a magnetic latch of a refrigerator
door,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.
