If the course steered falls to the minus (–) side of
the white line on the watch, you know it is
favourable to cross the start/finish line on a heading
from the opposite direction.

9. Precautions
1) Resistance to water
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-
resistance sports watch, when the watch is dipped
in the sea water or after a lot of sweat, please rinse
it well in fresh water and dry it well with a cloth.
• Leather belts have characteristics that may affect
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 the fog
remains temporarily there is no problem, but if it
doesn’t disappear after a long period of time,
please consult the shop you purchased it from or a
shop dealing with Citizen Watch.
Check the chart to determine the water resistant
properties of this watch.
2) Avoid temperature extremes
Avoid leaving your watch in direct sunlight or in
extremely warm locations for long periods of time.
• This will cause malfunctioning and shorten the life
of a battery. Do not leave your watch for long
periods of time in extremely cold places.
• This may cause your watch to gain or lose time.
• Place your watch on your wrist to restore its
original accuracy should it begin to gain or lose
time.
3) Avoid wet conditions
Do not operate the buttons when your watch is wet.
4) Avoid strong shock
This watch will withstand the bumps and jars normally
incurred while playing and during sports activities.
Avoid dropping your watch on the ground or
otherwise imparting severe shock to it.
5) Avoid strong magnetic fields
Keep your watch out of the immediate vicinity of
strong magnets. Generally, your watch is not
affected by magnetic fields from such household
appliances as television sets and stereo equipment.
6) 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 its
accuracy.
7) Avoid harmful chemicals, solvents and gases
Avoid wearing your watch in the presence of strong
chemicals, solvents and gases. If your watch comes
in contact with materials such as gasoline, benzine,
paint thinner, alcohol, spray cosmetics, nail polish,
nail polish remover, adhesives or paint, discolouration,
deterioration or damage to the case, band, and
other components may occur.
