Precautionary Items (and usage limitations)
Water Resistance
Refer to the table for water-resistance performance
after checking the water resistance characteristics
inscribed on the face and back of the watch.
* Always set the crown in the normal position.
* While working with water and using as a water-
resistant sports watch, when the watch is dipped in
sea water or after a lot of sweat, please rinse it
well in fresh water and dry it well with a cloth.
* Leather straps have characteristics that may affect
their durability after getting wet.
* Because there is always moisture inside the watch,
when the air temperature is lower than inside the
watch, the surface of the glass may fog. If fog
remains only temporarily there is no problem, but if
it doesn’t disappear after a long period of time,
please consult the shop from which you purchased
it or a shop dealer with Citizen watches.
Temperature
• Do not expose the watch to direct sunlight or high
temperatures for a long period of time, as this may
shorten battery life.
• Do not expose to extreme cold for a long period of
time. This may reduce accuracy. Normal accuracy
returns when the watch is restored to normal
temperature.
Strong shocks
• This watch is designed to withstand external
shocks such as those associated with golfing or
playing ball.
• Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to other strong jolts.
Magnetic fields
This watch is antimagnetic up to 60 gauss and is
not affected by the magnetic fields produced by
ordinary household electric appliances. If used in
the immediate vicinity of strong magnetism, however,
the watch’s functions may be affected temporarily.
Chemicals, gas and mercury
Do not expose it to chemicals or gases. Be careful
when using chemicals. Solvents such as benzine
and paint thinner (and products containing solvents
such as gasoline, nail polish remover, certain
chemicals and adhesives) may cause discolouration,
melting and or cracking of the watch case.
Do not expose the watch to mercury, such as that
from a broken clinical thermometer, since mercury
could discolour the case, face and band of watch.
Static electricity
The integrated circuits used in the watch are
sensitive to static electricity. If exposed to intense
static electricity, the watch’s display may lose
accuracy.
Keep your watch clean
• Wipe off any dirt or water on the glass case with a
soft cloth.
• Since the band is in constant contact with your
skin, always keep it clean.
A dirty band may cause a slight reaction in people
with sensitive skin.
• Always keep the band clean of any dust or dirt.
Dust and dirt on the band may stain the shirt sleeve.
Metal watch bands: Metal watch bands can be
cleaned with a toothbrush, soap, and water.
Leather bands: Wipe off the front side of the band
with a soft dry cloth, and remove stains on the back
side of the band with a cloth moistened with alcohol.
Plastic or rubber bands: Wash in water. (Avoid
using solvents as they may cause the band to
dissolve.)
Be sure to keep the batteries out of reach of
infants and small children. Should accidental
ingestion occur, consult a doctor at once
