your municipality regarding collection of batteries to prevent the risk of fire or environmental
contamination.

38
 Eco-Drive watch handling precautions

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 conventional watch 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.

39
 Water resistance
WARNING Water Resistance
• Refer to the watch dial and/or 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.
• Water resistance for daily use (to 3 atmospheres) means the watch is water resistant for
occasional accidental splashing.

 Precautionary items 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 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 customer support center for inspection and/or repair.
• Even if your watch has a high level of water resistance, please be careful of the following.

42
 Precautionary items and usage limitations
• 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

<Band>
• Leather bands and rubber (urethane) bands will deteriorate over time due to perspiration dirt.
Because of the natural materials, leather band will be worn, deformed, and discolored over
time. It is recommended 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.
• Do not stain a leather band with substances containing volatile materials, bleach, alcohol
(including cosmetics). Discoloration and premature aging may be occurred. Ultraviolet light
such as direct sunlight may cause discoloration or deformation.
• 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.
43
 Precautionary items and usage limitations
• 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 Citizen Owners’ Help Desk.
<Temperature>
• 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.
<Magnetism>
• 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
44
 Precautionary items and usage limitations
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.
<Strong Shock>
• 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.
<Static Electricity>
• The integrated circuits (IC) used in quartz watches are sensitive to static electricity. Please note
that the watch may not indicate the correct time if exposed to intense static electricity.
<Chemicals, Corrosive Gasses and Mercury>
• 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.
<Protective Stickers>
• 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.

45
 Precautionary items and usage limitations

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 . Corrosion of the metal
or accumulated foreign matter may result in black residue coming from the bracelet when
exposed to moisture or perspiration. Be sure to keep your watch clean at all times.
• Be sure to periodically clean the bracelet and case of your watch to remove accumulated dirt
and foreign matter. In rare circumstances, accumulated dirt, foreign matter may cause irritation
with the skin. If you notice this, discontinue wearing the watch and consult your physician.
• Be sure to periodically clean foreign matter and accumulated materials from the metal band,
synthetic rubber strap (polyurethane) and/or metal case using a soft brush and mild soap. Be
careful not to allow moisture on the case if your watch is not water resistant.

 Precautionary items and usage limitations
Caring for Your Watch
• Wipe any dirt or moisture such as perspiration from the case and crystal with a soft cloth.
• For metallic, plastic or synthetic rubber (polyurethane) band, clean it with soap and a soft
toothbrush. Be sure to thoroughly rinse the band after cleaning to remove any soap residue.
• 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.

<When Luminous Paint is used for your watch>

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 will appear bright at first and then diminish 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.
