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 band, 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.
CAUTION: Avoid using solvents (thinner, benzine, etc.), as they may damage the fi nish.
CAUTION
Operating environment
Use the watch within the operating-temperature range specifi ed in the instruction
manual. Using the watch where temperatures are outside the specifi ed 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 a skin burn.
Do not leave the watch in a place where it is exposed to high temperature, such as the
car dashboard. 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 magnetic health equipment such as a magnetic necklace or
a magnetic latch of a refrigerator door or handbag clasp or the speaker of a cellular
phone. If this has occurred, move the watch away from the magnet and reset the time.

Do not place the watch close to household appliances that generate static electricity.
Timekeeping may become inaccurate if the watch is exposed to strong static electricity,
such as is emitted from a TV screen.
Do not subject the watch to a strong shock such as dropping it onto a hard fl oor.
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, discoloration, melting, cracking, etc. may
result. If the watch comes in contact with mercury used in thermometers, the case,
band or other parts may become discolored.
<Periodical inspections>
Your watch needs inspection once in every two or three years for safety and long use.
Because the ability to resist water degrades as the years pass in the case of a water-
resistant watch, part replacement is required in order to maintain water-resistance.
Replace the packing and spring as necessary.
Ask for Citizen genuine parts upon replacement. In addition to replacement, other
parts may require inspection and repair. For details on replacement and repair charges,
please contact the store where you purchased your watch or a Citizen Service Center.
