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 in 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 Centre for repair.
Leaving the watch in such a state will allow
corrosion to form inside.
• If sea-water 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 isn’t 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 Service Centre.
• 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 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 innacurate if the watch
is exposed to strong static electricity, such as
emitted from a T.V screen.
