15. Precautions
CAUTION Water-Resistance Performance
There are several types of water-resistant watches, as shown in the following
table.For correct use within the design limits of the watch, confirm the level of
water-resistance of your watch, as indicated on the dial and case, and consult
the table.
•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.
14. All Reset Function
After the battery is replaced, be sure to do the following all-reset operation.
If a strong impact or static electricity is applied to the watch, the watch may make
abnormal display or malfunction (no display, continuous alarm sounding etc.),
though in a rare case.In such a case, do the following all-reset operation.

(1) Pull the crown out.
(2) Press buttons A, Band Msimul-
taneously. (All displays turn on.)
(3) If the crown is pushed in to its nor-
mal position, confirming sound is
heard.
This has completed the all-reset op-
eration.
After the all-resetting, correctly set the
time and modes before using.

Cleaning theWatch
•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.
WARNING Handling of the Battery
•Keep the battery out of the reach of small children. If a child swallows the
battery, contact a physician immediately.
CAUTION Replacing the Battery
•For replacement of the battery, take your watch to your dealer or Citizen Ser-
vice Center.
•Replace the battery as soon as possible if the service life of the battery has
expired.Leaving a depleted battery in the watch may result in leakage, which
can damage the watch severely.
CAUTION Operating Environment
•Use the watch within the operating-temperature range specified in the instruc-
tion manual.
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 or button 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 imme-
diately take it in for repair. Otherwise, pressure inside the watch will increase,
and parts (crystal, crown, buttons, etc.) may come off.
CAUTION KeepYour 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.

Using the watch where temperatures are outside the specified range, may re-
sult 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 plas-
tic 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 refrig-
erator 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.
•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 chemi-
cals or corrosive gases.
If solvents, such as thinner and benzine, or substances containing such sol-
vents 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.
