Page 4: Features
1. Features This watch is a solar-powered watch that contains a solar cell in its face that drives the watch by converting light energy into electrical energy. It is equipped with features including a 24 hour display and chronograph function that allows measurement of time in 1 second units up to 60 minutes. -
Page 5: Before Using
2. Before Using This watch is a solar-powered watch. Please fully charge the watch before using by exposing it to light. A rechargeable cell is used in this watch to store electrical energy. This rechargeable cell is a clean energy battery that does not contain mercury or other toxic substances. -

Page 9: Insufficient Charging Warning Feature
[Insufficient Charging Warning Feature] When the capacity of the rechargeable cell decreases as a result of light not shining on the solar cell, the second hand switches from 1-second interval movement to 2-second interval movement (insufficient charging warning feature). Although the watch continues to keep time accurately at this time, the watch stops after about 5 days have elapsed after the second hand has switched to 2-second interval movement. -
Page 10: Quick Start Feature
[Quick Start Feature] If the watch has stopped as a result of being insufficiently charged, the second hand will begin 2-second interval movement and the watch will begin to run about 10 seconds after the watch is exposed to light (approx. 500 lx). (The time until the hands begin to move varies depending on the model.) Please note, however, that the watch will stop again if the watch is blocked from the light and is not sufficiently charged. -
Page 11: When The Watch Has Stopped Due To Insufficient Charging
[When the Watch has Stopped due to Insufficient Charging] When the capacity of the rechargeable cell decreases as a result of the solar cell not being exposed to light, the watch will stop due to being insufficiently charged. The Quick Start Feature will be activated and the hands will begin to move if the solar cell is exposed to light. -

6. Handling Precautions <Try to Keep the Watch Charged at All Times> Please note that if you wear long sleeves, the watch can easily become insufficiently charged as a result of the watch being covered and not being exposed to light. The watch will continue to run properly if it is placed in as bright a location as possible even when not being worn. - Page 14 • When charging using the light from an incandescent lamp, charge while being careful that the watch does not become excessively hot by placing at a distance of at least 50 cm (20in) from the lamp.

Page 16: Setting The Time And Date
8. Setting the Time and Date In the case the crown is of the screw-lock type, loosen the screw by turning the crown to the left before operating the crown, and after having returned the crown to the normal position following operation, turn it to the right while pushing it in to securely retighten it. -
Page 17: Setting The Date
[Hint for Accurately Setting the Time] After stopping the second hand at the 0 seconds position, turn the minute hand 4-5 minutes past the correct time and then turn it back to the correct time. The time on the watch can then be set to the correct time by pushing in the crown in synchronization with a time service tone. - Page 18 • The date is based on a 31-day calendar. The date must be changed from the last day of the month to the first day of the following month for those months not having 31 days (months having 30 days and February). •...

Page 19: Using The Chronograph
9. Using the Chronograph The chronograph second hand is normally placed at 12 o'clock position. Once the measurement starts, it can measure up to 60 minutes in units of 1 seconds. After 60 minutes have elapsed, each of the chronograph hands automatically stop at the 12:00 position. - Page 20 Note: • Do not subject the chronograph to strong impacts while chronograph timing is in progress. Subjecting the watch to a strong impact during chronograph timing or when the chronograph has stopped automatically after 60 minutes have elapsed can cause the chronograph minute hand to shift out of position.

- Page 25 • If moisture has entered the watch, or if the inside of the crystal is fogged up and does not become clear within a day, immediately take the watch to your dealer or Citizen Service Center for repair. Leaving the watch in such a state will allow corrosion to form inside.
- Page 26 • 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, buttons, etc.) may come off. CAUTION: Keep your watch clean. •...
- Page 27 CAUTION: Operating environment • Use the watch within the operating-temperature range specified in the instruction manual. Using the watch where temperatures are outside the specified 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.
- Page 28 Your watch needs inspection once in every two or three years for safety and long use. To keep your watch water-resistant, the packing needs to be replaced regularly. Other parts need to be inspected and replaced if necessary. Ask for Citizen geuine parts upon replacement.
