* If the watch is switched to a different mode while

in the initial timer set time, the timer is running,
the timer is stopped or in the autochronograph
mode, and then is switched back to Timer 2
mode, the watch will display each state as it was
prior to switching to the other mode. However, the
watch will switch to the Timer 2 initial set time
after timer measurement is completed.

10. EL Internal Illumination Function

Electroluminescene (EL) refers to a scientific
phenomenon in which an EL material emits light
when a voltage is applied.

<Using the EL Function>

Pressing button 
C causes El internal illumination to
be turned on.

11. All-Reset Procedure

after replacing the battery or when the watch does
not run properly or has an abnormal display due to
a strong impact (such as when there is no display
showing or when the alarm sounds continuously).
(1) Press buttons  A, B,C and  M simultaneously.
* All segments in the digital display and the
internal EL illumination will flash during the time
the buttons are pressed.
* All-reset will be activated when any of the
buttons is released. A signal sounds confirming

12. Precautions

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Water-resistance for daily use (to 3
atmospheres): This type of watch is water-resistant
to minor exposure to water. For example, you may
wear the watch while washing your face; however,it
is not designed for use underwater.
Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 5
atmospheres): This type of watch is water-resistant
to moderate exposure to water. You may wear the
watch while swimming; however, it is not designed
for use while skin diving.
Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 10/20
atmospheres): This type of watch may be used for
skin diving; however, it is not designed for scuba or
saturated diving using helium gas.
CAUTION
Do not operate the 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 with 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 seawater 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, buttons, etc.) may
come off.
CAUTION: Keep your watch clean
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 is not 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 skin burn.
Do NOT leave the watch in a place where it is
exposed to high temperature, such as the glove
compartment or dashboard 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 a magnetic necklace, a
magnetic latch or 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 to close to household
appliances that generate static electricity.
Timekeeping may become inaccurate if the watch
is exposed to strong static electricity, such as
emitted from a TV screen.
Do NOT subject the watch to strong shocks 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, discolouration, melting,
cracking, etc., may result. If the watch comes in
contact with mercury used in thermometers, the
case, band or other parts may become
discoloured.
