CAUTION
Always use the watch with the crown pushed in (normal position). If the crown is of
L
the screw-lock type, make sure it is securely locked.
Do not operate the crown or button when the watch is wet. Water may penetrate into
L
the watch, causing deterioration of water resistance.
The durability of a leather band may be affected when wet, owing to the properties of
L
the material. In the case of a watch of upgraded water resistance for daily use that is
frequently used in water, fading, peeling of adhesive or other problems may occur. It is
therefore recommended to use another type of band (metal or rubber watchband).
If a watch of upgraded water resistance for daily use is immersed in sea water or
L
subjected to excessive perspiration, thoroughly rinse with fresh water and wipe
completely dry with a soft cloth.
If water enters the watch or the watch fogs up and does not clear up even after a long
L
time, consult your dealer or Citizen Consumer Help Desk, your nearest Customer
Support Center for inspection and/or repair.
If seawater enters the watch, place the watch in a box or plastic bag and immediately
L
take it in for repair. Otherwise, pressure inside the watch will increase, and parts
(crystal, buttons, etc.) may come off.

CAUTION
Handling the Band (Putting on and Taking off Band)
Be careful when putting on and taking off your watch, since there is a risk of
L
damaging your fingernails, depending on the manner in which the band is fastened.
CAUTION
When Wearing your Watch
Be particularly careful when wearing your watch while holding a small child, to avoid
L
injury.
Be particularly careful when engaged in strenuous exercise or work, to avoid injury to
L
yourself and others.
Do NOT wear your watch while in a sauna or other location where your watch may
L
become excessively hot, since there is the risk of burns.
The rubber(urethane) band may be stained by dyes or soil present in or on clothing or
L
other accessories. Since these stains may not be able to be removed, caution is required
when wearing your watch with articles that tend to easily transfer color (articles of
clothing, purses, etc.).
