Precautionary items and usage limitations
• Please request adjustment or repair of the band in the following cases:
• You notice an abnormality with the band due to corrosion.
• The pin of the band is protruding.
•
We do not recommend attempting to adjust the watch band yourself. Special expertise and experience
is required for proper adjustment. If not adjusted correctly, the band may become detached leading to
loss of your watch.
For band adjustment, we recommend you consult the retailer from where the watch was purchased
or your nearest Authorized Citizen Service Center.
<Temperature>
• The watch may stop or the function of the watch may be impaired in extremely high or low
temperature. Do not use the watch in places where the temperature is outside the operating
temperature range as stated in the specifications.
<Magnetism>
•
Analog quartz watches are powered by a step motor that uses a magnet. Subjecting the watch to strong
magnetism from the outside can cause the motor to operate improperly and prevent the watch from
keeping time accurately. Do not allow the watch to come into close proximity to magnetic health devices
(magnetic necklaces, magnetic elastic bands, etc.) or the magnets used in the latches of refrigerator
doors, clasps used in handbags, the speaker of a cell phone, electromagnetic cooking devices and so on.
Precautionary items and usage limitations
<Strong Shock>
• Avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to other strong impact. It may cause malfunctions and/
or performance deterioration as well as damage to the case and bracelet.
<Static Electricity>
• The integrated circuits (IC) used in quartz watches are sensitive to static electricity. Please note the
watch may operate erratically or not at all if exposed to intense static electricity.
<Chemicals, Corrosive Gasses and Mercury>
• If paint thinner, benzene or other solvents or products containing these solvents (including
gasoline, nail-polish remover, cresol, bathroom cleaners and adhesives, water repellent, etc.)
are allowed to come into contact with the watch, they may discolor, dissolve or crack the materials.
Be careful when handling these chemicals. Contact with mercury such as that used
in thermometers may also cause discoloration of the band and case.
<Protective Stickers>
• Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case back, band, clasp, etc.)
Otherwise, perspiration or moisture may enter the gaps between the protective stickers and the
parts, which may result in a skin rash and/or corrosion of the metal parts.
