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 deteriora-
tion 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 equip-
ment 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 mag-
net 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 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.
