2. Before Using

To ensure that you can easily use the watch at any time, always try to store it in a bright
location. Charge your watch periodically under direct sunlight or other light source while
storing by exposing the solar cell (watch face) to light as described in section 9, "General
References for Charging Times". Once fully charged, the watch will continue to run for
about 10 months without additional charging.

3. Cases Treated with Duratect

This product features a Duratect finish – Citizen's exclusive surface hardening
technology. The Duratech surface is about 5 times harder than stainless steel for
providing superior wear resistance. This material protects the watch from scratches and
maintains its natural attractiveness and luster for a long time. (Gold parts are excluded)
Note: Please note that the watch may become scratched when scratched with hard
objects or subjected to strong impacts. In addition, this DURATECT coating is not
provided on certain parts of the watch (namely, the back cover of the case and the band
buckle).
★Products that have been treated with DURATECT are stamped with the word,
"Duratect", on the back of the watch.
