Before receiving the satellite time signal

This watch receives the clock time information sent by satellite.

This watch only receives time information. Location information cannot be acquired.

Receiving the satellite time signal

The satellite time signal can be received using the following three methods. You can also check whether the last attempt to receive the time signal was successful or not. (See page 32.)

Reception type Method	Time taken
Manual reception 1	Normal reception (see page 28)	Approx. 6 to 26 seconds※
Manual reception 2	When the leap second has been updatedWhen all reset has been performed (see page 30)	Approx. 35 seconds to 13 minutes
Circumstantial reception	Automatic reception (see page34)

Before receiving the satellite time signal

• These reception methods can only be performed when the crown is in position 0.
  ※ When all reset has been performed or you have manually adjusted the calendar, reception may take up to 80 seconds.

Cautions regarding receiving the satellite time signal

Do not perform satellite time signal reception while operating a vehicle as doing so is extremely dangerous.

• If the second hand is moving once every two seconds (insufficient charge warning function), you cannot perform satellite time signal reception. Charge the watch sufficiently before attempting time signal reception.

• Even when this watch receives the time signal successfully, the accuracy of the displayed time will be dependent on the reception environment and internal processing.

• Even if the watch is not able to receive the satellite time signal, it will operate normally within an accuracy range of ± 15 seconds per month.

• The automatic correction feature of this watch is supported until 28/2/2100.

When receiving the satellite time signal

As shown in the picture below, make sure you are in an area with few surrounding trees, buildings, or other objects with may obstruct the satellite time signal. Face the dial towards the sky and perform time signal reception.

- Ideally, the sky directly above you should be clear (approx. 80^ as shown on the right) when attempting to receive the satellite time signal.

- If you will perform time signal reception with the watch on your wrist, keep it as far away from your body as possible.

- If the time signal is difficult to receive...

• Remove the watch from your wrist and attempt reception again.
• Adjust the orientation of or lean the watch while keeping the dial facing towards the sky.

Poor reception areas

It may be difficult to receive the satellite time signal under certain environmental conditions or in certain areas.

Areas with obstructions above the watch

About circumstantial reception

If the satellite time signal has not been received for an extended period of time, this watch is equipped with a function which enables it to automatically receive the time signal (circumstantial reception).

When the following four conditions are met, the watch will start automatic reception.

• The watch is sufficiently charged and operating normally.
• The displayed time is between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
• The satellite time signal has not been received for more than 72 hours.

• The watch is outside, or sunlight has been shining on the dial continuously.

• When compared to manual reception, circumstantial reception is more greatly affected by positional and environmental conditions. Thus, the reception is far more likely to fail. To adjust the time by receiving the time signal, perform manual reception in an environment such as that described in “When receiving the satellite time signal” on page 26.

• While circumstantial reception is in progress, the watch will operate normally and the second hand will not indicate RX.

Checking and adjusting the leap second

This watch displays the time information by setting the leap second and time difference (manual adjustment) to the International Atomic Time information received from the satellite.

• The factory default leap second setting is “-34 seconds” (As of 1/6/2011).
• When the leap second information is received through performing manual reception 2 (see page 30), the leap second is automatically adjusted.
• The leap second can also be adjusted manually.

You can find a list of leap seconds at the homepage of IERS (INTERNATIONAL EARTH ROTATION & REFERENCE SYSTEMS SERVICE). http://hpiers.obspm.fr/eop-pc/earthor/utc/TAI-UTC_tab.html

Eco-Drive (solar powered) Watch Handling Precautions

• Please note that if you wear long sleeves, the watch may stop as a result of being covered by your sleeve and blocked from the light.
• When you take off the watch, try to place it in as bright a location as possible. This will ensure that it will continue to run properly.

Eco-Drive (solar powered) Watch Handling Precautions

CAUTION Recharging Precautions

- Do not charge your watch at high temperatures (60°C/140°F) as this may cause damage to sensitive components and the watch to malfunction.

Examples:

- Charging the watch too close to a light source which generates a large amount of heat such as an incandescent lamp or halogen lamp.

* When charging your watch under an incandescent lamp, be sure to leave 50 cm (19-11/16 inches) distance between the lamp and the watch to avoid excessive heat. Never use a halogen lamp for recharging as these generate excessive heat.

- Charging the watch in a location where the temperature may become extremely high such as on the dashboard of a vehicle.

If the surrounding temperature falls below 0^ C/ 32^ F or exceeds 40^ C/ 104^ F, the “Charge suspension temperature detection function” will activate and charging will not be possible.

Eco-Drive (solar powered) Watch Handling Precautions

- Your watch features a cell that does not need regular replacement.

However, after an extended period of time, power consumption may increase due to deterioration of lubrication in the movement. This may result in shorter than expected run time. Be sure to have your watch regularly inspected by an Authorized Service Center.

Note: Regular maintenance is not covered under the terms of the warranty.

WARNING Handling of Rechargeable Cell

- The rechargeable cell should never be removed from the watch.

If for any reason it becomes necessary to remove the rechargeable cell from the watch, keep out of the reach of children to prevent accidental swallowing.

If the rechargeable cell is accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

- Do not dispose of the rechargeable cell with ordinary garbage. Please follow the instructions of your municipality regarding collection of batteries to prevent the risk of fire or environmental contamination.

WARNING Use Only the Specified Rechargeable Cell

- Never install a conventional battery in your watch. Only use the specified rechargeable cell. Your watch is designed to operate only with the original type of rechargeable cell. It is not designed to run or be used with a conventional type of battery. Installing such a battery may result in overcharging which may cause the battery to burst. This can cause damage to the watch and injury to the wearer. If for any reason the rechargeable cell needs replacement, be sure to use only the original type rechargeable cell. We recommend contacting your nearest Authorized Service Center for this service.

Water resistance

WARNING Water Resistance

- Refer to the watch dial and the case back for the indication of the water resistance of your watch. The following chart provides examples of use for reference to ensure that your watch is used properly.

(The unit "1bar" is roughly equal to 1 atmosphere.)

- WATER RESIST(ANT) × × bar may also be indicated as W.R. × × bar.

	NO NO NO NO NO
	OK NO NO NO NO
	OK OK NO NO NO
	OK OK OK NO NO

Water resistance

• Non-water resistant watches cannot be used underwater or in environments in contact with water.
• Water-resistance for daily use (to 3 atmospheres) means that the watch may be worn while washing your face or in the rain, but is not to be immersed in water.
• Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 5 atmospheres) means that the watch may be worn while swimming, but is not to worn while skin diving.
• Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 10/20 atmospheres) means that the watch may be worn while skin diving, but not while scuba or saturated diving using helium gas.
• For a metallic, plastic or rubber watchband, wash any dirt off with water. Remove the small amounts of dirt trapped between the crevices of the metallic band with a soft brush. If your watch is not water resistant, be sure not to get the case of the watch wet.

Precautions and usage limitations

CAUTION To Avoid Injury

• Be particularly careful when wearing your watch while holding a small child, to avoid injury.
• Be particularly careful when engaged in strenuous exercise or work, to avoid injury to yourself and others.
• DO NOT wear your watch while in a sauna, jacuzzi or other location where it may become excessively hot. This may result in burns to the wearer and/or malfunction of your watch.
• Be careful when putting on or taking off your watch since there is a risk of pinching your skin or damaging your fingernails depending on the manner in which the band is fastened.

CAUTION Precautions

- Do not adjust the length of the band by yourself. If you fail to perform the work properly, the watch may fall off, or an injury may occur during adjustment. Consult the shop where you purchased the watch or your nearest Authorized Citizen Service center.

If you purchase a product which is sold with a special tool for band adjustment, you may carefully adjust the band yourself.

- Always wear your watch with the crown pushed in to the normal position. If your crown is a screw down type, be sure it is properly screwed down (locked) to the case.

- Do not operate the crown or any buttons when the watch is wet. This may allow the entrance of moisture and cause damage to sensitive components.

- If water enters the watch or the watch fogs up and does not clear up even after a long time, consult Authorized Service Center for inspection and/or repair.

- If a watch of upgraded water resistance for daily use is immersed in sea water or subjected to excessive perspiration, thoroughly rinse with fresh water and wipe completely dry with a soft cloth.

- 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, crown, push button, etc.) may come off.

• A rubber type strap may become stained by dyes or soils found in clothing and other accessories. Since these stains may become permanent, take caution when wearing your watch with items that may transfer color (articles of clothing, purses, dyed bracelets, etc.).
• Solvents, moisture and perspiration may cause the strap to deteriorate. Be sure to replace a strap that has become dried, brittle, or cracked to prevent loss due to strap failure.

- 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.

- The integrated circuits (IC) used in quartz watches are sensitive to static electricity. Please note that the watch may malfunction if exposed to intense static electricity.

- Analog type quartz watches are powered by a motor that utilizes a small magnet. The operation of this motor can be disturbed if the watch is subjected to magnetic items resulting in the malfunction of the watch. Do not allow the watch to come into close proximity to magnetic items such as “health” bracelets or necklaces, coin trays, latches found in cabinets and refrigerators, certain clasps of handbags and cell phone pouches, cell phone speakers, certain sporting accessories, MRI equipment, etc.

Precautions and usage limitations

- 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.

- 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 in contact with the watch, they may cause discoloration, deterioration and damage materials of the watch. Be careful when handling these chemicals. Contact with mercury such as that used in thermometers may also cause discoloration of the band and case.

CAUTION Always Keep Your Watch Clean

- Rotate the crown while it is pressed in fully and press the buttons periodically so they do not become stuck due to accumulations of foreign matter.

Note: Do not operate the crown or any buttons when the watch is wet.

- The case and band of the watch come into direct contact with the skin in the same manner as undergarments. Corrosion of the metal or unnoticed soiling such as that caused by perspiration and dirt can soil sleeves and other portions of clothing. Keep your watch clean at all times.

Precautions and usage limitations

• The case and band of the watch come in to direct contact with the skin. This may result in unnoticed accumulations of dirt and foreign matter caused by normal wear. Accumulated matter may cause rust, discoloration, and premature wear. Be sure to regularly clean your watch with a soft cloth. If severe accumulations occur, you may need to have your case and/or bracelet professionally cleaned.
• In some instances, accumulations of dirt and foreign matter may cause skin reactions. This may also occur due to certain allergies beyond our control. If this occurs, immediately discontinue use of your watch and consult your physician.
• Leather, cloth, and other natural skin straps may become discolored or brittle from moisture, perspiration and/or accumulated dirt. To maximize the life of your strap, be sure to keep your leather band clean and dry by wiping it with a soft cloth each day.

CAUTION Caring for Your Watch

• Wipe any dirt or moisture such as perspiration from the case and crystal with a soft cloth.
• If you will not be using your watch for an extended period of time, carefully wipe off any perspiration, dirt or moisture and store in a proper location, avoiding locations subject to excessively high or low temperatures and high humidity.

Maintenance

Daily maintenance

• Rotate the crown while it is pressed in fully and press the buttons periodically so they do not become stuck due to accumulations of foreign matter.
• Wipe off dirt, perspiration, and water from the case and glass with a clean soft cloth occasionally.
• To clean a metal, plastic, or rubber watchband, wash away dirt with water. Use a soft brush to remove dust and dirt stuck in the gaps in a metal band.
• Do not use a polishing type of cloth as this may damage the surface and certain treatments.
• Do not use solvents (thinner, benzine, etc.), as they may damage the finish.

Periodical inspections

Your watch needs an inspection once every two or three years for safety and longer usage. To keep your watch water-resistant, the gaskets and other components need to be replaced regularly. Other parts need to be inspected and replaced if necessary. Always ask for genuine Citizen parts upon replacement.

Information

About the satellite time signal

The satellite wave watch has no adverse effects on the human body or medical equipment.

About the Watch with Luminous Paint

Your watch may feature luminous treatment to the dial and hands to aid you in reading the watch in dimly lit environments. This luminous treatment stores light from both natural and artificial sources. It is free from any radioactive substance or any other material that may be harmful to the environment or human body.

• The light emission of the luminous material gradually decreases as time passes.
• The duration and amount of light emitted will vary depending on the brightness, type of and distance from the light source, exposure time and amount/size of luminous treatment.
• When not exposed to a light source, light emission from the luminous treatment will start off bright and gradually diminish over a period of hours. The duration of visible light emission will vary with type of and duration of light exposure as well as size of luminous features of your watch.
