Note:

Always check the mode hand to ensure the watch is set in the desired mode during use, since pressing the (M) button unknowingly during operation may occur.

C. BEFORE USE

Before use, follow the procedures below to ensure that all watch components are in proper working order: Confirm the Zero position setting.

• All hands move to the "0" position.
  •The 24-hour hand is synchronized with the hour/minute hands.

Each hand positioned as listed below confirms the "0" position setting is correct.

If the watch hands are not positioned as above, follow the Zero position setting procedures to ensure proper use.

Zero position setting

1) Pull the (M) button out to the first step position. Push the (A) button to set the second hand to the 0 sec. position. Push the (B) button to set the Aux. feature hand to the 0 hour position. Push the (C) button to set the hour/minute/24-hour hands to the 0 hour,0 minute position.

2) Be sure to push the (M) button in to its normal position. This completes the Zero position setting.

☆ Press and hold down either of the (A), (B), (C) buttons to activate the quick-advance feature.
☆ A strong shock may cause hands to move from the zero position in to shift. In this case, reset to the correct zero position.

D. HOW TO SET AND OPERATE EACH MODE

1. Hand Movement Demonstration

Pushing either of the (A), (B) and (C) buttons once will cause the second, minute and auxiliary feature hands to stop in the "0" position after moving through the following stages.

- Minute hand: ① + 5min. → ② -10min. → ③ +5min. - Second hand: ① + 5sec. → ② -10sec. → ③ +5sec. - Aux. hand: ① + 5 → ② -10 → ③ +5

10. All Reset Function

The all reset function is used following battery replacement or abnormal watch movement

All reset procedure

1. Pull the (M) button out to the first step position.
2. Push and hold down the (A),(B),(C) buttons simultaneously for more than 2 seconds.
3. Release all three buttons and a confirmation beep will sound and the minute, second, auxiliary hands will move slightly. Push the (M) button in to the normal position after completing the above procedures and set all hands (except mode hand) to 0. (See BEFORE USE: "Zero position setting", and then set the time.)

11. TACHYMETER BEZEL

The tachymeter is the device which measures the speed of an automobile. Knowing in how many seconds the car covers a distance of 1km, the meter can measure the approximate average speed per hour during a journey (up to the maximum measurable range of; 60 seconds.)

If the stopwatch is started at the same time as measurement, and stopped after 1km, the average speed per hour can be determined according to the position of the second hand.

If the car covers the distance of 1km in 45 seconds, the average hourly speed during the journey will be about 80km.

* The words "WATER RESIST" on the underside of the watch indicate it is resistant to an average daily exposure to water or can be worn while doing such kitchen work as washing dishes.
* The words "WATER RESIST" followed by the number "100" or "10bar" on the dial indicate the watch is ordinary strengthen water resistant (Please note that for some types the indication cannot be shown on their faces due to their particular designs.)
* 50 or 5 bar: Water resistance at 5 atmospheres. 100 or 10 bar: Water resistance at 10 atmospheres.

After swimming

- Wash the watch in the fresh water cianly from sea water as otherwise it may rust.

• Dry the watch after washing.

With a small amount of moisture included inside the watch, the inner surface of the glass may be blurred for a while if the atmospheric temperature happens to be lower than that inside the watch. The blurred glass will soon clear. If the blurred glass does not clear, Please ask at the watch to the store where it was purchased or the store that handles Citizen Quartz watches.

2. Temperature

Do not expose the watch to direct sunlight or high temperatures for a long time as this may shorten power cell life.

Do not expose to extreme cold for a long time. This may reduce accuracy. Normal accuracy returns when the watch is restored to normal temperature.

3. Strong Shocks

This watch is designed to with stand external shocks such as those associated with golfing or playing ball.

Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to other strong jolts.

4. Magnetism

OK

This watch is not influenced by the magnetic force exuded by television sets, stereo sets and other electric home appliances.

NO

Do not place near magnets.

The watch runs faster or slower temporarily when it is placed close to magnets. Magnetic health equipment (e.g. magnetic necklace, magnetic stomach band, etc.), magnetic refrigerator door or magnetic mahjong table. In such cases, adjust the time.

5. Chemicals, Gas and Mercury

NO

Do not expose it to chemicals or gas. Be careful of using chemicals. Solvents such as benzine and paint thinner (and products containing solvents such as gasoline, manicure remover, certain cleaners and adhesives) may cause discoloration, melting and cracking the watch case. Do not expose the watch to mercury, such as that in clinical thermometers, since mercury could discolor the case, face and band of the watch.

6. Care of Leather Watch Bands

The leather band is damaged much more easily by moisture and perspiration than the metal band. Therefore, we would like to recommend you to replace to suitable metal band or rubber band if you use your watch under wet conditions frequently.

By virtue of the regulations pursuant to the handling of waste products deriving from electronic and electrical equipment, end of lifecycle watch making products must be selectively collected for processing. You may therefore dispose of your quartz watch making products at any of our retail outlets or any other authorized collection point. The selective collection, processing, rating and recycling of these products helps contribute to safeguarding the environment and protecting our health.
