G. PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION: Water resistance performance

There are several types of water-resistant watches,

as shown in the following table.

The unit “bar” is equal roughly to 1 atmosphere

For correct use within the design limits of the watch,

confirm the level of water resistance of your watch,

as indicated on the dial and case, and consult the

table.

• Water-Resistance for daily use (to 3 atmospheres):

This type of watch is water-resistant to minor

exposure to water. For example, you have have to

wear the watch while washing your face; however

it is not designed for use underwater.

• Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 5

atmospheres): This type of watch is water-

resistant to moderate exposure to water. You may

wear the watch while swimming; however, it is not

designed for skin diving.

• Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 10/20

atmospheres): This type of watch may be used for

skin diving; however, it is not designed for scuba

or saturated diving using helium gas.

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 sea water, rinse with fresh

water afterward and wipe dry 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 Centre 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 for

repair. Otherwise pressure inside the watch will

increase, and parts (crystal, buttons, etc.) may

come off.

CAUTION: Keep your watch clean

• Leaving dust and dirt deposited between the case

and the crown may result in difficulty in pulling out

the crown. Rotate the crown while in its normal

position, from time to time, to loosen dust and dirt

and brush it off.

• Dust and dirt tend to be deposited in the gaps in

the back of the case or band. Deposited dirt or

dust may cause corrosion or 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 the dirt with mild soap and water. Use

a soft brush to remove dust or 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.

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.

Doing so may result in a skin burn.

Do NOT leave the watch where it is exposed to

high temperature, such as in the glove compartment

or dashboard of a car.

Doing so may result in the deterioration of the

watch, such as deformation of the plastic parts.
