This watch is a radio wave watch that receives Japan standard radio waves

This watch is equipped with an Automatic Tuning Function that receives radio waves by automatically selecting the station with the strongest signal, a Regular Automatic Reception Function that sets the time and date by automatically receiving radio waves at 2:00 AM, or at 4:00 AM when radio waves are unable to be received at 2:00 AM, each day, and a Free Reception Function that allows you set the time and date by arbitrarily receiving radio waves at any time.

● Standard time waves can only be received in Japan. (Radio waves cannot be received overseas.
● This radio wave watch can be used without concern over effects on the body or medical devices.

Please fully charge your watch before use by exposing it to light

If the second hand of the watch is moving at 2-second intervals during use, this means that the watch is insufficiently charged. Use the watch after charging by referring to "General Reference for Charging Times". Since the watch may be covered by clothing and so forth particularly during the winter preventing it from being exposed to light, charge the watch once a month by exposing to direct sunlight. In order to ensure that the watch is used comfortably, it is recommended to try to keep the watch charged at all times.

General Reference for Receiving Areas

This watch is provided with an automatic tuning feature that automatically selects the station to be used for reception of standard time radio waves. A general reference for the areas where the watch can receive standard time radio waves is as follows. However, reception status in these areas may vary due to the times of sunrise and sunset, seasonal changes, weather conditions (presence of lightning, etc.). Since this map only provides a general reference of the standard receiving areas, it may not apply in some particular locations even within the range shown in the map.

• Mt. Ohtakadoya standard radio wave transmitter station (Fukushima Station)
• Mt. Hagane standard radio wave transmitter station (Kyushu Station)

In Japan, standard time radio waves are broadcast continually, 24-hours a day, but may occasionally be interrupted for maintenance purposes. To confirm standard time radio wave transmission status, refer to the Japan Standard Time (JST) Project, on the website of the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology

(http//jjy.nict.go.jp/).

The standard time radio wave has no effect on the human body or medical equipment.

5. Reception of Radio Waves

There are three ways to receive radio waves consisting of Automatic Regular Reception, Free Reception and Recovery Automatic Reception. Always make sure to remove the watch from your wrist to receive radio waves. When reception is completed, each hand automatically moves forward or backward to the received time.

Regular Automatic Reception (Automatic reception of radio waves)

☐ Place the watch in a stable location where radio waves can be received easily such as by a window with the 9:00 position of the watch facing in the direction of the radio wave transmitter station. Radio waves are automatically received at 2:00 AM every day, or if they are unable to be received at that time, are automatically received at 4:00 every day.

Free Reception (Manual reception of radio waves)

◎ This function allows you receive radio waves at any time.

Step 1) Continuously depress button (A) for about 2 seconds, and release when the second hand has rapidly advanced to "RX" (12:00 position) and stopped.

Step 2) Place the watch in a stable location where radio waves can be received easily such as by a window with the 9:00 position of the watch facing in the direction of the radio wave transmitter station.

● The second hand then moves from RX to H, M or L indicating that radio waves are being received.
- When reception is completed, the second hand moves from H, M or L and returns to 1-second interval movement.

The reception result can be confirmed by referring to "5. B. Confirmation of Reception Result". (P.75)

Recovery Automatic Reception

After the watch has stopped as a result of being insufficiently charged, radio waves are received once automatically when the watch is sufficiently recharged by exposing to light. Try to keep the watch charged at all times so that it does not become insufficiently charged.

Illustration of a window with curtains and a hanging object (no text or symbols)

* When the watch is receiving the radio wave signal, all of the hands will stop. To check the time, hold button (A) for 2 seconds to cancel radio wave reception. The hands will then return to the current time.

A. Position of the Second Hand During Reception

[Reception in Progress] [Reception in Progress] [Completion of Reception]

It takes from about 2 to 15 minutes to receive radio waves depending on the weather and radio wave noise conditions on that day.

[NOTE] The second hand may make one revolution and indicate the reception level again if the transmitter station has changed while reception is in progress or radio wave reception has been interrupted by changes in the reception environment and so forth. Do not move the watch until the second hand returns to 1-second interval movement.

B. Confirmation of Reception Result

© This function allows you to check whether radio wave reception has been successful or failed. Step 1) Press button (A) once. The second hand rapidly moves to H, M, L or NO to indicate the reception result.

Step 2) The second hand automatically returns to normal hand movement after the reception result has been displayed for 10 seconds. The second hand can also be returned to 1-second interval movement by pressing button (A) while the reception result is displayed.

- If the second hand indicates NO for the reception result, try receiving radio waves by free reception after finding a location and direction where radio waves are received easily.

H, M and L indicate the reception level, and have no effect on performance.

Checking and Correcting the Reference Position

9. Automatic Hand Correction Function

(Hand Reference Position Automatic Correction Function)

What is the Automatic Hand Correction Function?

(Hand Reference Position Automatic Correction Function)

This function checks the hand positions at predetermined intervals to determine if the hand reference positions are correct, and if they are detected to have shifted out of position, rapidly corrects the second and minute hands to keep the correct time.

Shock Detection Function

This function prevents the second and minute hands from shifting when the watch is subjected to shocks.

If the watch should happen to be subjected to a strong impact or placed in an environment subjected to magnetism or static electricity, the correct time may not be displayed even if radio waves are received. If this happens, check the reference position. Refer to "10. Checking the Reference Position" on the following page.

10. Checking the Reference Position

Radio wave watches display the standard time and date received on the basis of a hand reference position of "12:00:00" and a date of the "1st".

12. Charging your watch

Once fully charged, this watch will continue to keep the correct time for about 6 months (about 7 months for the H11A) during normal use.

In order to use this watch comfortably, try to store the watch in a bright location at all times.

When not wearing your watch, try to place it next to a window or other bright location that allows the dial to be exposed to sunlight. This will keep the watch charged and enable it to continue to run properly at all times.

Illustration of a wristwatch under a sun with radiating lines, symbolizing time or urgency (no text or symbols present)

◆ Charge the watch by exposing the watch dial to direct sunlight or light from a fluorescent lamp.
If you usually wear long sleeves, the watch may be covered thereby preventing it from being exposed to light resulting in the watch becoming insufficiently charged. It is recommended to charge the watch once a month by exposing to direct sunlight.

13.Unique Functions of Eco-Drive Watches

When the watch becomes insufficiently charged, the display changes as shown below.

[Normal Display] When the watch becomes insufficiently charged due to not exposing the dial (solar cell) to light [Insufficient Charge Warning Display] 2-second interval movement Second hand begins 2-second interval movement

*1 If the watch has stopped as a result of being insufficiently charged:

- A minimum of about 30 minutes are required until recovery automatic reception, even if the watch is exposed to light.

*2 If recovery automatic reception has failed:

- Since the time is incorrect even if the second hand is moving at one second intervals, first set the time and date manually or by free reception before using the watch.

    C --> D["Radio waves are received once automatically when charged"]
    E["When reception is successful *2"] --> B

A. Power Save Function

When the watch is stored in the place where its solar cell is continuously not exposed to light for 1 week or more, the watch enters the power save mode and some features of the watch will be deactivated.

The power save function is canceled automatically when the watch dial is exposed to light.

• When the power save function is canceled, each hand rapidly returns to the current time and the second hand begins one-second interval movement.
• Two-second interval movement begins if the watch is insufficiently charged. When this happens, sufficiently charge the watch so that it returns to one-second interval movement.

[Note]

Although the watch will continue to be accurate to within the time accuracy range in the power save mode, when the power save function is canceled, be sure to perform free reception before using.

B. Insufficient Charge Warning Function

The second hand changes from 1-second interval movement to 2-second interval movement to indicate that the watch has become insufficiently charged. After about 2 days or more have passed since the start of two-second interval movement without light shining onto the watch, the watch stops 2-second as a result of being insufficiently charged.

interval vement

[Note] During two-second interval movement, regular automatic and free reception are not available, and the time cannot be corrected manually.

If the watch becomes insufficiently charged while radio wave reception, confirmation of reception result, time difference correction or checking or setting the reference position is in progress, the operation is interrupted and the watch returns to the time prior to the operation being performed. The watch begins 2-second interval movement at this time. Try to keep the watch charged at all times to prevent it from becoming insufficiently charged.

C. Overcharging Prevention Function

This function eliminates any worry regarding effects on the rechargeable cell, timekeeping accuracy, performance or functions of the watch no matter how much the watch is charged.

When the rechargeable cell becomes fully charged by exposing the solar cell to light, the overcharging prevention function is activated automatically to prevent the battery from being charged further.

* If the second hand is moving in 2-second intervals, refer to “To fully charge” and fully charge.
* If the second hand is moving in 2-second intervals, the watch cannot be operated.

Charge the watch until the second hand moves at 1-second intervals.

E. Eco-Drive 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.

- Because the watch uses a rechargeable cell, you do not need periodical cell replacement.

However, power consumption may increase after using for an extended period of time due to deterioration, and the power may run out earlier than expected. To avoid this, we recommend that you have your watch inspected (Charge basis) periodically.

Troubleshooting

Try checking the following when you think a problem has occurred.

Problem Check Items Corrective Actions
Watch does not begin reception	● Does the second hand move to "RX: Reception in progress"?	● Refer to "5. Receiving the Radio Waves."
Time does not match telephone time service even though radio waves can be received	● Has the reference position been set correctly?	● Check the reference position. If the reference position is not correct, refer to "11. Manually Correcting the Reference Position" and reset the reference position.
Unable to receive radio waves (even within a receivable area)	● Are there objects that block radio waves or generate noise nearby ?● Are radio waves attempted to be received away from a window ?	● Try receiving radio waves while facing the 9:00 position of the watch towards a transmitter station while avoiding objects that block radio waves or generate noise. Try changing the direction, location and angle of the watch several times to find the location near a window at which radio waves are received easily. Refer to "4. Locations where Reception may be Difficult" in the section on Radio Wave Reception.
	● Has the watch been moved while the second hand is indicating RX or a reception level of H, M or L during reception ?	● Wait until reception is completed (until it returns to normal hand movement) before moving the watch.

Precautionary Items and Usage Limitations

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 Battery

- Never use a battery other than the rechargeable cell specified for use in this watch. Although the watch structure is designed so that it will not operate when another type of battery is installed, if a silver battery or other type of battery is installed in the watch and the watch is recharged, there is the risk of overcharging which may cause the battery to rupture. This can cause damage to the watch and injury to the wearer. When replacing the rechargeable cell, always make sure to use the designated rechargeable cell.

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.
• Non-water resistant models are not designed to come into contact with any moisture. Take care not to expose a watch with this rating to any type of moisture.

Name	Indication	Specification

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 or other location where your watch may become excessively hot, since there is the risk of burns.
• Be careful when putting on and taking off your watch, since there is a risk of damaging your fingernails, depending on the manner in which the band is fastened.
  • Take off your watch before going to bed.

CAUTION Precautions

• Always use the watch with the crown pushed in (normal position). If the crown is of the screw lock-type, make sure it is securely locked.
• Do NOT operate the crown or any push buttons when the watch is wet. Water may enter the watch causing damage to vital components.
• If water enters the watch or the watch fogs up and does not clear up even after a long time, consult your dealer or Authorized Service Center for inspection and/or repair.

- Even if your watch has a high level of water resistance, please be careful of the following.

• If your watch is immersed in sea water, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and wipe with a dry cloth.
• Do not pour water from a tap directly onto your watch.
  • Take off your watch before taking a bath.

- 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.

CAUTION

When Wearing Your Watch

• Leather, genuine skin and rubber (urethane) bands will deteriorate over time due to perspiration, body oils and dirt. Be sure to replace the band periodically.
• The durability of a leather band may be affected when wet (fading, peeling of adhesive), owing to the properties of the material. Moreover, wet leather may cause a rash.

• It is recommended to take off the watch if it gets wet, even if the watch itself is water resistant.

• Do not wear the band too tightly. Try to leave enough space between the band and your skin to allow adequate ventilation.

• The rubber (urethane) band may be stained by dyes or soil present in or on clothing or other accessories. Since these stains may not be removable, caution is required when wearing your watch with items that tend to easily transfer color (articles of clothing, purses, etc.). In addition, the band may be deteriorated by solvents or moisture in the air. Replace with a new one when it has lost elasticity or become cracked.
• Please request adjustment or repair of the band in the following cases:
• You notice an abnormality with the band due to corrosion.
  • The pin of the band is protruding.
• We recommend seeking the assistance of an experienced watch technician for sizing of your watch. If adjustment is not done correctly, the bracelet may unexpectedly become detached leading to loss of your watch or injury. Consult your nearest authorized Citizen Service Center.

- 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.

- Analog quartz watches are powered by a step motor that uses a magnet. Subjecting the watch to strong magnetism from the outside can cause the motor to operate improperly and prevent the watch from keeping time accurately. Do not allow the watch to come into close proximity to magnetic health devices (magnetic necklaces, magnetic elastic bands, etc.) or the magnets used in the latches of refrigerator doors, clasps used in handbags, the speaker of a cell phone, electromagnetic cooking devices and so on.

- 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.

- The integrated circuits (IC) used in quartz watches are sensitive to static electricity. Please note the watch may operate erratically or not at all if exposed to intense static electricity.

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

- Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case back, band, clasp, etc.). Otherwise, perspiration or moisture may enter the gaps between the protective stickers and the parts, which may result in a skin rash and/or corrosion of the metal parts.

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.
• 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.
• The case and band of the watch come into direct contact with the skin. If you think there is something wrong, discontinue wearing the watch immediately and consult your physician. In the case of accumulation of sweat or dirt on a metal band or case, clean thoroughly using a brush and neutral detergent. In the case of a leather band, wipe clean using a dry cloth.
• Leather bands may become discolored by perspiration or dirt. Always keep your leather band clean by wiping with a dry cloth.

Caring for Your Watch

• Wipe any dirt or moisture such as perspiration from the case and crystal with a soft cloth.
• For a metallic, plastic or rubber (urethane) 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.
• For a leather band, wipe off dirt using a dry 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.

The paint on the dial and hands helps you with reading the time in a dark place. The luminous paint stores light (daylight or artificial light) and glows in a dark place.

It is free from any radioactive substance or any other material harmful to a human body or environment.

• The light emission gradually becomes weaker as time passes.
• The duration of the light (“glow”) will vary depending on the brightness, types of and distance from a light source, exposure time, and the amount of the paint.
• The paint may not glow and/or may dissipate quickly if exposure to light was not sufficient.

Warranty and Service

In the case a malfunction has occurred during the course of normal use while the watch is till under warranty, the watch will be repaired free of charge in accordance with the conditions of the warranty included with this manual.

Our standard period for stocking repair parts for each model is generally seven year.

When an exterior part such as the watch case, glass, dial, hand, crown or band is damaged, a spare part with different appearance may sometimes be used.

Repairs can be performed on your watch within the repair parts stock period even after the free guarantee has expired. However, you will be charged for these repairs. Please take the watch to the shop where you purchased it and ask whether it can be repaired because the repair period varies according to the conditions of use, environment and so forth. Moreover, there are cases in which it is difficult to restore the watch to its original accuracy when decreased accuracy has resulted from long-term use.

In the event that you have moved or have received your watch as a gift, and are not able to bring your watch to the shop where it was purchased for serving, please consult Customer Support Center.

- Waterresistance

As the water resistance will be reduced over time, you should have your watch inspected and its water resistance verified every 2-3 years (charge basis) to extend its life and ensure safety. To maintain its water resistance, it is recommended to request us to replace the packings and other parts of your watch.

• Disassembling for internal cleaning (repair)

You should have your watch disassembled and its internal components cleaned periodically to extend its life. Lubrication oils are used to reduce wearing of moving parts such as gears. However, over time the lubrication oils will degrade and wear will increase, eventually resulting in malfunction. Please have your watch undergo internal cleaning once every 5 years as a guide.

All parts of this watch, except for the band, are to be repaired only at CITIZEN.

This is because special technologies and equipment are required to perform repairs, inspections and adjustments. Please make requests for repairs to Customer Support Center when having your watch repaired.

If you have any questions regarding the way warranty, repairs or other matters, please inquire at the shop where you purchased your watch or Customer Support Center.
