CAUTION
• Be sure to use the watch with the crown pressed in (normal position). If your watch
has a screw-type crown, be sure to tighten the crown completely.
• Do NOT operate the crown with wet fingers or when the watch is wet. Water may
enter the watch and compromise water-resistance.
• If the watch is used in seawater, rinse with fresh water afterward and wipe with a dry
cloth.
• 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.
• 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.
• Leaving dust and dirt deposited between the case and crown may result in difficulty in
pulling the crown out. Rotate the crown while in its normal position, from time to
time, to loosen dust and dirt and then brush it off.
• Dust and dirt tend to be deposited in gaps in the back of the case or band. Deposited
dust and dirt may cause corrosion and soil your clothing. Clean the watch
occasionally.
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 watchband, 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.
If your watch is not water-resistant, take it to your dealer.
NOTE: Avoid using solvents (thinner, benzine, etc.), as they may mar the finish.
