IMPORTANT
Before using When the watch does not operate according to the instruction manual, it is insufficiently charged. Charge the secondary battery of the watch for more than 4 hours, approximately 20cm (8in.) away from the fluorescent or incandescent lamp (30W) as light sources. When charging the secondary battery, do not put it too close to the light source. * When charging the watch under direct rays of the sun, charge for more than an hour.
This watch is an analog solar powered divers watch into which an electronic depth meter function and chronograph function are built. The solar power generation function transforms solar energy into electrical energy to run the watch. Since solar energy is used as the power source of this watch, it has no need of regular replacement of the battery unlike the general divers watches using the mercury cell, etc. (Solar power function) The built-in depth meter function automatically measures the depth in diving with the watch worn on the wrist. (Depth meter function) The maximum depth in diving is automatically memorized. (Maximum depth memorizing function) The chronograph function measures the time in units of one second for 50 minutes at maximum.

WARNING

Diving is one of the sports involving many risks. When using this watch for diving, carefully read this manual and follow the instructions with good understanding of the proper way to use it. Since the depth meter function of this watch is not approved as an official depth gauge, be sure to use this function as an auxiliary means to know the approximate depth Diving with this watch must be limited to recreational diving (diving without decompression). Dont use this watch for decompression diving, saturated diving or diving in a high altitude. The depth meter function of this watch works normally in seawater with temperatures of +10C to +40C (50F to 104F), however, depth indication is incorrect in water other than seawater (specific gravity: 1.025).
Rapid and sharp change of the atmosphere and/or seawater temperature occasionally affects the indication and performance of the watch. Therefore, it is recommended that this watch be used together with another depth gauge. Read the indication of this watch as a rough guideline. Even recreational diving involves many risks. Before using this watch as an auxiliary instrument for diving, be sure you receive right training in scuba diving by a qualified instructor in order to acquire experience and technique necessary for safe diving as well as to master the proper way to handle and operate this watch.

This instruction manual gives explanations of the model that indicates the depth in the metric system (m: meter) by way of example. If your watch is a different model that indicates the depth in the foot system (ft: foot), refer to the footage appearing together with the metric number corresponding to it.

1. BEFORE USING

Battery means a secondary battery (rechargeable battery) in this manual. Before using, make sure the watch is sufficiently charged by exposing it to the light. A secondary battery is used in this watch to store electrical energy. If the battery is fully charged once, the watch will continue running for about two months. When the watch is used for diving (about two hours a week), it will run for about one month (until NG is indicated). <How to use this watch properly> It is recommended that you recharge the battery everyday. To insure that this watch demonstrates its depth meter function and chronograph function besides the timekeeping function, always keep it sufficiently charged. If the battery is not sufficiently charged or the battery power is very low, the depth meter function and chronograph function cannot be activated. The battery of this watch is protected from overcharge. * For recharging the battery, expose the solar cell (the face of the watch) to light.
2. BEFORE USING FOR DIVING
CAUTION Before using this watch for diving
For using this watch as an auxiliary depth gauge, the user must not only receive general training and instructions in diving but also follow various rules. The user should not use this watch without a good knowledge and understanding of the proper way to handle and operate it and the precautions on it. If this watch is improperly used, it may result in malfunction or breakdown of the watch.
WARNING Regarding the depth meter function
Since the depth meter function of this watch is not approved as an official depth gauge, use this function as an auxiliary means to measure a depth. Read the depth meter indication of this watch as a rough guideline.
CAUTION For safe diving When diving, obey the rules of the buddy system*1 every time. For safety, it is advised that you enjoy sports diving in the depths around 20 m (60 ft). Before diving with this watch, fully charge the battery without fail. When the battery is not sufficiently charged (the function hand points at NG), the depth meter function cannot be used. If battery power declines considerably during diving, the depth meter function to measure depth is discontinued. After diving, take a good rest following safety rules. If you take a plane or move to a high place without a sufficient rest after diving, you may suffer from decompression sickness (caisson disease).

CAUTION Regarding diving at high altitudes or in fresh water If you intend to use this watch for diving in a high place or in fresh water, be sure to have a special education in safe diving beforehand. Don't use the depth meter function of this watch in a high place 4,000 m (13,120 ft) or more above sea level, because the watch gives incorrect measurement of depth in such a place. This watch indicates a depth based on the specific gravity (1.025) of seawater. Therefore, if the watch is used in fresh water, the real depth is 2.5% less than the indication of the watch. Example: 20 m (65 ft) (indicated depth) 1.025 = 20.5 m (67 ft) (real depth)
When the watch is shifted to the diving mode, the pressure sensor regards the ambient pressure as that on the sea level (0 m/0 ft in depth or altitude). If the watch is shifted to the diving mode in a high place, it regards the pressure on the surface of the water as that on the sea level (namely 0 m/0 ft in depth/altitude). In short, the watch always regards the surface of the water as the sea level (0 m/ 0 ft) except in a place 4,000 m (13,120 ft) or more above sea level. Therefore, you are advised not to use the depth meter function of this watch in a high place 4,000 m (13,120 ft) or more above sea level for the reason that the watch gives incorrect measurement of depth in such a place as mentioned previously.

Charge level indication

The function hand indicates the charge level as follows (LV.1, LV.2 and NG) to let the user know whether the watch can be used for diving or not. In the diving mode, consumption of battery power is considerably increased because the pressure sensor and water sensor are actuated. Before using this watch for diving, charge the battery sufficiently and confirm the charging level which is indicated by the function hand. <When the function hand points at LV.1 (at 56-seconds position)> The watch is securing battery power enough for sports diving at the depth of 20 m (66 ft) or so for about an hour. * However, when the function hand points at LV.1 as a result of charging the battery after it was once depleted (after the status that the function hand indicated NG), be sure to charge the battery with a lighting of 3000 lux (20 cm under a fluorescent lamp) for at least 10 minutes before diving. * If diving continues for more than one hour, pay careful attention to the indication of the function hand, because the indication may change to NG from LV.1 during the diving and the watch may discontinue measuring the depth.

<When the function hand points at LV.2 (54 seconds)> The battery is almost fully charged. Accordingly, the watch can be used reliably for diving.
<When the function hand points at NG (58 seconds)> The watch will not shift to the diving mode because of insufficient charging. When the watch is in this status, it cannot be used for diving because its depth meter function won't be activated. If the function hand points to NG during a dive, immediately stop using relying on the watch for depth measurement.
Use the indication of the charge level as a reference only. If the watch is exposed to strong light for charging the battery, the function hand may temporarily indicate LV.1 or LV.2 despite insufficient charging. If the function hand goes to LV.1 or LV.2 from NG position in a short time, you need to pay careful attention to charging conditions. It is recommended that you keep the battery sufficiently charged all the time but especially before using the watch for diving. Always check the indication of charge level carefully just before diving. (For details of charging time, refer to 5. TIME REQUIRED FOR CHARGING.)
Insufficient charge warning function
Insufficient charge warning indication 2 seconds Mode hand: DV position, Function hand: NG position 2 seconds Whenever the battery power becomes insufficient for operation, the watch is automatically shifted to the Time mode regardless of the currently set mode and the second hand goes for 2 second interval movement. (Insufficient charge warning indication) 2 second If the watch is left in this condition without recharging interval for another two days, the watch will stop. movement * If the watch falls into such condition, the time measurement will be discontinued in the chronograph mode. * While the watch is falling into the insufficient charge warning indication, all button operations are ineffective except the max. depth operation. Since the watch continues accurate indication of the date and time even in the insufficient charge warning indication, the watch will recover normal operation if it is exposed to light for sufficiently charging the battery. For using the watch for diving, sufficiently charge the battery until the function hand indicates LV.1 or LV.2 on the charge level.

Stop warning function

Stop warning indication Mode hand: 0 position, Function hand: 0 position If the watch is left in the insufficient charge warning indication for two days, both the mode hand and function hand will move to 0 position respectively. If the watch falls into this condition, it indicates that the watch has stopped operation completely. (Stop warning indication) * All functions of the watch are inactivated in this indication. When the battery is charged in this condition, the watch restarts operation as it is switched to the time reset warning indication.

Time reset warning function
Time reset warning indication Mode hand: 0 position,Function hand: 0 position With progress in charging the battery as the watch is exposed to light, the watch starts running but shows incorrect time. In this condition the second hand moves irregularly every two seconds to show that the time is incorrect. (Time reset warning indication)

2 seconds 2 seconds

To change the watch to the time mode, reset the watch correctly after sufficiently charging the battery. * In the case the battery is sufficiently charged but the watch has not been reset to the correct time, the second hand continues to go irregularly every two seconds.
Overcharge prevention function
This watch has an overcharge prevention function. When the secondary battery is fully charged, this function is activated to protect the battery from overcharge by cutting of power supply. This function relieves you from worry about overcharge.
5. TIME REQUIRED FOR CHARGING
Since time required for recharging the battery varies according to model (depending on the dial color, etc.), refer to the following table as a rough guideline for charging the battery. Time required for charging Illuminance (lux) 500 Environment
Charging time Charging Charging time for required to make the time required one-day second hand move for fully normally from the operation watch stop status. charging
* Each time required for charging means a duration in which the watch is continuously exposed to the light indicated. Charging time required for fully charging: Time required for fully charging the battery, starting from the state that the watch has stopped operation (in the stop warning indication). Charging time for one-day operation: Time required for charging the battery enough for running the watch for one day, starting from the state that the second hand normally goes every second. (Note) For using the watch for diving (one-hour diving a day), time required for charging must be extended 1.5 times as long as the time appearing in the table.

6. SPECIAL CARE FOR THIS SOLAR POWERED WATCH
<Always take care to charge the battery of the watch.> Mind that the battery power is apt to decline if you wear a jacket or a longsleeved shirt, because the watch is usually shaded by such clothes and the battery is insufficiently charged as a result. Try to put the watch in a well-lighted place, as far as circumstances permit, when you take it off. If you do, the watch will continue normal running.

When the watch is exposed to an incandescent lamp for charging, carefully keep the watch 50 cm (20 in.) or more apart from it so as not to get the watch hot.
WARNING Note on handling the secondary battery
The user should not remove the secondary battery from the watch. If you remove the battery from the watch for unavoidable reasons, be sure to keep it outside the reach of a child to prevent him/her from swallowing it. If a child swallows the secondary battery by mistake, immediately consult a doctor for treatment.
CAUTION Notes on charging Avoid charging in a hot place where the ambient temperature is +60C/140F or more, because an extreme rise in temperature may cause a breakdown of the watch. Examples: Charging near a hot light source such as an incandescent lamp, halogen lamp, etc. Charging in a place that easily becomes hot such as on a car dashboard, etc.
WARNING Use the specified secondary battery only Never use any battery other than the specified secondary battery. This watch is so designed that it does not run with any battery other than the specified secondary battery. However, if another battery such as a mercury battery for example, is forcibly set in the watch and it is charged, the battery will not only be overcharged and burst, but if worst comes to worst, it will resultingly damage the watch and injure the user and other people. To repeat the warning, use the specified secondary battery only without fail whenever the secondary battery needs replacement.
7. SWITCHING BETWEEN MODES
Each time button A is pressed for two seconds, the mode is switched from the time mode to the chronograph mode and vice versa.
If the water sensor gets wet while the watch is in time mode, the mode is switched over to the diving mode. However, this mode shift is not performed when the function hand indicates NG on the charge level index. <Diving mode>

(2) Set the watch for the correct date by turning the crown. (3) Press the crown in to the normal position. (4) Turn the crown clockwise to screw it tightly against the case.

Second hand Date

Note: If date is adjusted when the watch shows a time between 9:00 pm and 1:00 am, the watch may not advance the date indication the next morning. <Note on operation of the crown> The crown of this watch is designed to be screwed down to secure the waterresistance of the watch. For pulling out the crown for adjustment, unscrew it to get it loose first. After adjustment with the crown, press it in to the normal position and then screw it down without fail. Do not operate any button while the crown is being pulled out. If a button is operated in such the status, it may cause some change in the indication or disorder of some hand(s). Do not pull out or turn the crown when the watch gets wet or is in the water. Otherwise, the watch loses water-resistance and the inside of the watch gets wet. When the crown is unscrewed (loosened). When the crown is screwed down (fastened).

9. DIVING MODE

When the watch is immersed in the water, while it is set in the Time mode and the battery is charged enough for diving, the water sensor senses the water and switches the watch to Diving mode to measure the depth. In the Diving mode, the watch automatically memorizes the maximum depth of the last dive and the user can recall it after the dive. <Diving mode (Standby status)>

<Depth indication> Indication range: 0 to 50 m (0 to 125 ft) deep (measured every second) Indication unit: 1 m/5 ft (Decimals of five and above in the first decimal place are rounded up and anything under five in the first decimal place is rounded down. Depth less than 1 m/5 ft is indicated as 0 m/0 ft.) <Manner to read depth indication> When the watch reaches the depth of 1 m/5 ft or more in diving, it starts measuring the depth. In diving, the indication by the function hand represents the depth. When the depth is less than 1 m/5 ft, the function hand indicates 0 m/0 ft. When the depth exceeds 50 m (125 ft), the function hand stops at the overzone mark (52-seconds position) to show that the depth is out of the indication range. As the diver ascends in the water and the depth is less than 50 m (125 ft), the watch again indicates the depth.
<How to cancel the Diving mode> (1) Press button A for 2 seconds after diving or in the water where it is less than 1 m (5 ft) deep (depth indication: 0 m/0 ft). The Diving mode is canceled and the watch returns to the Time mode. (2) When the watch is left for 10 minutes after diving or in the water where it is less than 1 m (5 ft) deep (depth indication: 0 m/0 ft), the watch automatically returns to the Time mode with cancellation of the Diving mode. If the watch is again immersed in the water 1 m (5 ft) or more deep within 10 minutes after the last dive, the new dive is regarded as a continuation of the last dive and the watch continues to measure depth. * Wet detection error indication If the diving standby mode (water sensor is in action) continues for 1 hour or more, the function hand points at the overzone mark. If the watch remains in this status for a long time, refer to 11. MEASURES AGAINST POSSIBLE PROBLEMS.

Measure time

A : Press the button A. B : Press the button B.
11. MEASURES AGAINST POSSIBLE PROBLEMS
If the solar powered watch is insufficiently charged or its battery power is considerably consumed, the watch functions are limited to a certain range and the watch warns the user of its status by various means such as abnormal indications. To avoid such a power failure, always try to charge the battery sufficiently. Some hand is out of the correct position. If a strong shock or static electricity is given to the watch by careless handling, the hands may show an incorrect indication. Adjust the function hand (chronograph second indicator) when it is out of the 0 position (the mode hand functions normally) in the following conditions referring to 12. SETTING FUNCTION HAND AT 0 POSITION. 1) When the watch is in the reset status of the Chronograph mode 2) When the watch is set to the time adjustment mode (the crown is pulled to the second click stop position) 3) When the watch is in the diving mode (standby status). In the case the function hand and/or the mode hand are out of their respective 0 positions in other modes, adjust the hand(s) referring to 13. ALL RESET/ ADJUSTING HAND POSITION.
The second hand jumps 2 seconds every 2 seconds. Note this as the insufficient charge warning of a decline in the battery power. If it occurs, immediately recharge the battery sufficiently. * For details, refer to 4. WARNING FUNCTIONS OF THIS SOLAR POWERED WATCH. The second hand moves irregularly every 2 seconds. Note this as the time setting warning that warns of incorrect time indication caused by a temporary stoppage of the watch.In such a case, sufficiently charge the battery , then set the watch for the correct time. * For details, refer to 4. WARNING FUNCTIONS OF THIS SOLAR POWERED WATCH. The modes cannot be switched. If the battery power drops, the modes cannot be switched under the following conditions. When the function hand points to NG, the watch cannot be switched over to the Diving mode even if the water sensor gets wet. When the watch is in the insufficient charge warning status, the mode cannot be switched over to the Chronograph mode. In such a case, sufficiently charge the battery. * For details, refer to 4. WARNING FUNCTIONS OF THIS SOLAR POWERED WATCH.
The watch does not switch to the Time mode from the Diving mode (depth indication mode). When the user climbs to a high place or is on a flight, the watch may unexpectedly be shifted to the Diving mode because of a sharp change in the atmospheric pressure (pressure change equivalent to the depth of 1 m/5 ft). If it occurs, the watch may fail to switch from the Diving mode after the user goes back to the ground level, because the depth meter function didnt reset the depth indication to 0 m (0 ft). Besides the aforementioned case, the watch may enter the Diving mode because the water sensor is activated by sweat or other moisture. If the depth indication is less than 4 m (15 ft), press button A for 2 seconds or more to switch to the Time mode. If the depth indication is more than 4 m (15 ft), adjust the watch according to 13. ALL RESET/ADJUSTING HAND POSITION.

The function hand continues to indicate the overzone mark. If the water sensor gets dirty or wet, it is activated even when the watch is not wet and the wet detection error indication (the function hand points to the overzone mark) appears. In case the watch falls into this status, carefully clean the water sensor part and wipe out moisture completely. * If careful cleaning results in failure in recovering the watch from the abovementioned status, it is possible that the pressure sensor is faulty. In that case, immediately stop using the watch and consult with the store where you purchased the watch or the nearest Citizen Service Center. The watch malfunctions otherwise or shows abnormal reading. If a strong shock or static electricity is given to the watch, the watch may come into abnormal running that is out of explanation of this instruction manual. If the watch falls into such a status, adjust it following the instructions of 13. ALL RESET/ADJUSTING HAND POSITION.
12. SETTING FUNCTION HAND AT 0 POSITION
Within 15 graduations before/after the 0 point. 0 position
(1) Set the watch to the Time mode or Chronograph mode. Turn the crown to loosen it and pull it out to the second click stop position. (2) Press button A or B to set the function hand to the 0 position. (3) Press the crown in to the normal position and turn it until it is tightly screwed against the case.

Adjusting position

* The aforementioned procedure is effectual only when the hand is located within 15 graduations before/after the 0 point. When the hand is located outside the adjustable range, correct the 0 position of the hand referring to 13. ALL RESET/ADJUSTING HAND POSITION. * If the watch has been left without any operation for 3 minutes or longer as the crown is pulled to the second click stop position, the function hand does not move regardless of button operation. If the watch falls into such the condition, press the crown into the normal position and make a fresh start to adjust the hand position. * Before unscrewing and pulling out the crown, make sure that the crown is not wet. Automatic time correction function If it takes 4 minutes or less to adjust the position of the function hand in the Chronograph mode, the watch automatically sets the hour, minute and second hands for the correct time immediately after the adjustment by the automatic time correction function. Therefore, if adjustment is finished within 4 minutes, the watch has no need of manual time correction. However, if the crown is turned during adjustment, the watch will not indicating a correct time. If adjustment is not complete within 4 minutes, you will need to not only adjust the 0 position of the second indicator (function hand) in the Chronograph mode but also to set the correct time.

13. ALL RESET/ADJUSTING HAND POSITION
(1) Unscrew the crown and pull it out to the second click stop position. Mode hand (2) Press buttons A and B simultaneously. If the function hand DV moves slightly, the watch is reset in 0m whole. (3) Press button A or B to set the B function hand and mode hand to their 30 respective 0 positions. Button A: For adjustment counterclockwise. Button B: For adjustment clockwise. * The function hand and the mode A hand move interlocking with each 30 other. (4) Correct the time indication by turning Adjusting position the crown. (Refer to 8. ADJUSTING TIME AND DATE (Time mode).)

Function hand

(5) Press the crown in to the normal position and screw it down tightly against the case. As the crown is pressed into the normal position, the watch returns to the Time mode and starts running. * After the watch is reset, the function hand points at NG position regardless of remaining battery power. Approximately 1 hour after resetting, the function hand will indicate the charge level. (While the function hand is indicating NG, the watch cannot be switched to the Diving mode.) * If the ALL RESET/ADJUSTING HAND POSITION fails in clearing away the trouble, consult with the store where you purchased the watch or the nearest Citizen Service Center about the trouble. Note that the maximum depth memorized during the last dive is cleared simultaneously during ALL RESET.
14. NOTE ON SECONDARY BATTERY
The secondary battery used in this watch is a clean energy battery that incorporates no toxic substance such as mercury inside. The secondary battery has no need of periodical replacement because it is capable of repeated charging and discharging.

[Rotating bezel]

The rotating bezel means the rotating ring set on the rim of the watch case. An elapsed time can be checked by this rotating bezel.
The rotating bezel can be turned counterclockwise only, to avoid malfunction. Be careful not to turn the rotating bezel clockwise by force, otherwise the rotating bezel may be damaged. When using the rotating bezel, you are advised to read its indication just as a guideline.

15. OTHER FUNCTIONS

[How to use the rotating bezel] On starting a dive, turn the rotating bezel counterclockwise to set the triangle mark ( ) to the position where the minute hand is located. After that, the minute hand serves to indicate the elapsed time on the rotating bezel. (Example) In the figure on the right, the minute hand indicates that 10 minutes has passed since the dive was started (since the mark was set at the starting point).

CAUTION For repairing the watch This watch must be repaired by an authorized Citizen Service Center only. CAUTION Note on the luminous dial The luminous paint used for the dial of this watch is mainly made from light accumulating materials, which are harmless to the human body and the environment since it contains no toxic substance such as a radioactive material. This luminous paint accumulates light of the sun and indoor lighting and emits light in a dark place. However, its luminance gradually fades because it discharges accumulated light. The duration that the luminous paint emits light differs depending on the illuminance and distance from the light source when it accumulates light. If the luminous paint accumulates insufficient light, it will not emit light in a dark place, or even if it emits light, its luminance rapidly fades. Therefore, carefully expose the luminous dial to light so that the luminous paint accumulates sufficient light especially before diving. It is recommended that you use an underwater flashlight to apply light to the watch during diving.
CAUTION Always keep the watch clean The case back and the space between the skin and watchband tend to get dirty and may get rusty. This may cause corrosion of the metal, clothes may be soiled by such dirt. To prevent this, try to keep the watch clean at all times.
<How to clean the watch> Wipe the case and glass with a soft dry cloth to remove sweat and moisture from them. Wash the metal watchband, plastic watchband or rubber watchband in water, and remove dust and soil accumulated in openings in the metal watchband with a soft brush, etc. Dont use thinner, benzine or other solvents for cleaning since they may damage the watch.
CAUTION Operating environment Be sure to use the watch under specified temperatures described in this owners manual. If not, it may stop or malfunction. Do not wear the watch in a hot place such as a sauna, because the watch is easily heated in such a place and you may burn your wrist and other parts of your body. Do not leave the watch in extremely hot locations such as the dashboard of a car. It may damage the plastic parts and cause malfunction. Do not bring the watch close to a magnet or magnetic material. If the watch is brought close to a magnetic health appliance (magnetic necklace, magnetic bellyband, etc.), the magnetic door of a refrigerator, the magnetic latch of a bag, the earphone of a cellular phone and so on, the watch may fail in keeping good time. If the watch is out of order for the said reason, keep the watch away from such things and reset the watch to the correct time. The IC used in the quartz watch has a characteristic that it cannot withstand much static electricity. If the watch is affected by static electricity radiated from a TV set, etc., it may gain or lose time.

1. OUTLINE

This watch is an analog solar powered diver's watch into which an electronic depth meter and chronograph function and chronograph function are built. The solar power generation function transforms solar energy into electrical energy to run the watch. Since solar energy is used as the power source of this watch, it has no need of regular replacement of the battery unlike the general diver's watches using the mercury cell, etc. (Solar power function) The built-in depth meter function automatically measures the depth in diving with the watch worn on the wrist. (Depth meter function) The maximum depth in diving is automatically memorized. (Maximum depth memorizing function) The chronograph function measures the time in units of one second for 50 minutes at maximum.

3. SOLAR-POWERED WATCH

When the watch is used for diving (about two hours a week), it will run for about one month (until NG is indicated). An Eco Drive Rechargeable battery is used in this watch to store electrical energy. If the rechargeable battery is fully charged once, the watch will continue running for about two months. <How to use this watch properly> It is recommended that you recharge the battery everyday. To insure that this watch demonstrates its depth meter function and chronograph function besides the timekeeping function, always keep it sufficiently charged. If the battery is not sufficiently charged or the battery power is very low, the depth meter function and chronograph function cannot be activated. The battery of this watch is protected from overcharge. * For recharging the battery, expose the solar cell (the face of the watch) to light.

4. USING THIS WATCH

A. Name of Parts

Charge levels

Over-zone mark
Charge level of the battery (battery power) is indicated as follows (LV.1, LV.2, NG) by the function hand. These guidelines indicate whether the depth meter function is usable or not. When the diving depth exceeds 50 meters (125 feet) or there is something abnormal in the depth meter function, the function hand points to the over- zone mark. The diving depth is indicated by the function hand on this depth meter scale.

Depth meter scale

Pressure Measures the depth by sensing the water pressure. sensor Water sensor When the water sensor gets wet, the watch is automatically shifted to the diving mode. Rotating bezel The diver can know the elapsed time of diving by using this rotating bezel. Solar cell Electric energy necessary for running the watch is generated by this solar cell when it is exposed to enough light for charging the battery.
B. Warning Function of this Solar Powered Watch

With decline of the battery power of this watch, its warning function is activated to change the indication. [Normal indication (Time mode)] Function hand: Points at LV.2, LV.1 or NG. [Insufficient charge warning indication] Function hand: Points at NG [Stop warning indication] Function hand: Points at "O" Mode hand: Points at "O". [Time reset warning indication] Function hand: Points at NG,

Charge Level Indication

The function hand indicates the charge level as follows (LV.1, LV.2 and NG) to let the user know whether the watch can be used for diving or not. In the diving mode, consumption of battery power is considerably increased because the pressure and water sensors are actuated. Before using this watch for diving, charge the battery sufficiently and confirm the charging level which is indicated by the function hand. <When the function hand points at LV.1 (at 56- seconds position)> The watch is securing battery power enough for sports diving at the depth of 20m (66ft) or so for about an hour. However, when the function hand points at LV.1 as a result of charging the battery after it was once depleted (after the status that the function hand indicated NG), be sure to charge the battery with a lighting of 3000 lux (20 cm under a fluorescent lamp) for at least 10 minutes before diving. If diving continues for more than one hour, pay careful attention to the indication of the function hand, because the indication may change to NG from LV.1 during the diving and the watch may discontinue measuring the depth. <When the function hand points at "LV.2" (54 seconds)> The battery is almost fully charged. Accordingly, the watch can be used reliably for diving.
<When the function hand points at "NG" (58 seconds)> The watch will not shift to the diving mode because of insufficient charging. When the watch is in this status, it cannot be used for diving because its depth meter function won't be activated. If the function hand points to "NG" during a dive, immediately stop using relying on the watch for depth measurement.
Use the indication of the charge level as a reference only. If the watch is exposed to strong light for charging the battery, the function hand may temporarily indicate "LV.I" or "LV.2" despite insufficient charging. If the function hand goes to "LV.1" or "LV.2" from "NG" position in a short time, you need to pay careful attention to charging conditions. It is recommended that you keep the battery sufficiently charged all the time but especially before using the watch for diving. Always check the indication of charge level carefully just before diving. (For details of charging time, refer to "C. Time Required for Charging".)
Insufficient charge warning function

Insufficient charge warning indication Made hand: DV position, Function hand: NG positionWhenever the battery power becomes insufficient for operation, the watch is automatically shifted to the Time mode regardless of the currently set mode and the second hand goes for 2-second interval movement. (insufficient charge warning indication) If the watch is left in this condition without recharging for another two days, the watch will stop. If the watch falls into such condition, the time measurement will be discontinued in the chronograph mode. While the watch is falling into the insufficient charge warning indication, all button operations are ineffective except the maximum depth operation. Since the watch continues accurate indication of the date and time even in the insufficient charge warning indication, the watch will recover normal operation if it is exposed to light sufficient for charging the battery. For using the watch the watch for diving, sufficiently charge the battery until the function hand indicates LV.1 or LV.2 on the charge level.

Stop warning function

Stop warning indication - Mode hand: "O" position, Function hand: "O" position If the watch is left in the insufficient charge warning indication for two days, both the mode hand and function hand will move to "O" position respectively, If the watch falls into this condition, it indicates that the watch has stopped operation completely. (Stop warning indication)
* All functions of the watch are inactivated in this indication.
When the rechargeable battery is charges in this condition, the watch restarts operation as it is switched to the time reset warning indication
Time reset warning function
Time reset warning Indication - Mode hand: DV position, Function hand: NG position With progress in charging the battery as the watch is exposed to light, the watch starts running but shows incorrect time. In this condition the second hand moves irregularly every two seconds to show that the time is incorrect. (Time reset warning indication)
To change the watch to time mode, reset the watch correctly after fully charging the rechargeable battery. If the rechargeable battery is sufficiently charged but the watch has not been reset to the correct time, the second hand continues to go irregularly every two seconds
Overcharge prevention function
This watch has an overcharge prevention function. When the secondary battery is fully charged, this function is activated to protect the battery from overcharge by cutting of power supply. This function relieves you from worry about overcharge.

C. Time Required for Charging
Since time required for recharging the battery varies according to model (depending on the dial color, etc.), refer to the following table as a rough guideline for charging the rechargeable battery.
Charging time required for fully charging: Time required for fully charging the battery, starting from the state that the watch has stopped operation (in the stop warning indication). Charging time for one-day operation: Time required for charging the battery enough for running the watch for one day, starting from the state that the second hand normally goes every second. (Note) For using the watch for diving (one-hour diving a day), time required for charging must be extended 1.5 times as long as the time appearing in the table.
D. Special Care for this Solar Powered Watch
<Always take care to charge the battery of the watch. > * Mind that the battery power is likely to decline if you wear a jacket or a long sleeve shirt, because the watch is usually shaded by such clothes and the battery is insufficiently charged as a result. * Try to put the watch in a well-lit place, as far as circumstances permit, when you take it off. If you do, the watch will continue normal running. - Notes on charging * Avoid charging in a hot place where the ambient temperature is +60'C/140'F or more, because an extreme rise in temperature may cause a breakdown of the watch. Examples: Charging near a hot light source such as an incandescent lamp, halogen lamp, etc. Charging in a place that easily becomes hot such as on a car dashboard, etc. - When the watch is exposed to an incandescent lamp for charging, carefully keep the watch 50 cm (20 in.) or more apart from it so as not to get the watch hot.
- Note on handling the Eco Drive rechargeable battery * The user should not remove the rechargeable battery from the watch. If you remove the battery from the watch for unavoidable reasons, be sure to keep it outside the reach of a child to prevent him/her from swallowing it. * If a child swallows the rechargeable battery by mistake, immediately consult a doctor for treatment. - Use the specified Eco Drive Rechargeable battery only * Never use any battery other than the specified rechargeable battery. This watch is so designed that it does not run with any battery other than the specified secondary battery. However, if another battery such as a silver oxide for example, is forcibly set in the watch and it is charged, the battery will not only be overcharged, but may burst. This will result in damage the watch and injure the user and other people. To repeat the warning, use the specified rechargeable battery only without fail whenever the rechargeable battery needs replacement.
E. Switching Between Modes

* Each time button (A) is pressed for two seconds, the mode is switched from the time mode to the chronograph mode and vice versa. - If the water sensor gets wet while the watch is in time mode, even from accidental splashing, the mode is switched over to the diving mode. However, this mode shift is not performed when the function hand indicates "NG" on the charge level index. <Chronograph mode> <Time mode>
~ Function hand 0 position Mode Hand: 0 position Function hand: "Charge level index" position Mode hand: "DV"position
F. Adjusting Time and Date (Time mode)
The watch shows time and date in the Time mode. Time (shown by hour, minute, second and 24-hour hands) and date can be checked any time regardless of the mode. Besides time and date, the function hand indicates the battery power at three levels. How to adjust time Time can be adjusted in the Time mode. 1. After turning the crown counterclockwise to unscrew it, pull the crown out to the time adjustment position (the second click stop position), the second hand will stop running. 2. Set the watch for the correct time by turning the crown. 3. Press the- crown in to the normal position and the watch (second hand) starts running. 4. Turn the crown clockwise to screw it tightly against the case. When the crown is pulled to the time adjustment position, the function hand points at the "O" second position. If the function hand does not point at the "O" second position, correct the hand position referring to section "J. Setting Function Hand at "O" Position.

How to adjust date

1. After turning the crown counterclockwise to unscrew it, pull the crown out to the date adjustment position (the first click stop position). 2. Set the watch for the correct date by turning the crown. 3. Press the crown in to the normal position. 4. Turn the crown clockwise to screw it tightly against the case. Note: If date is adjusted when the watch shows a time between 9:00 PM and 1:00 am, the watch may not advance the date indication the next morning. <Note on operation of the crown> The crown of this watch is designed to be screwed down onto the case to secure the water-resistance of the watch. For pulling out the crown for adjustment, unscrew it to get it loose first. After adjustment with the crown, press it in to the normal position and then screw it down with- out fail. Do not operate any button while the crown is being pulled out. If a button is operated in such the status, it may cause some change in the indication or disorder of some hand(s). Do not pull out or turn the crown when the watch gets wet or is in the water. Otherwise, the watch loses waterresistance and the inside of the watch gets wet.

* Wet detection error indication
If the diving standby mode (water sensor is in action) continues for 1 hour or more, the function hand points at the over-zone mark. If the watch remains in this status for a long time, refer to section "1. Measures against possible problems".
<How to recall the memorized maximum depth> (1) Press button (B) in the Time mode or Diving mode (when depth indication is 0 m/Oft). The function hand indicates the memorized maximum depth. (2) To cancel the maximum depth indication, press button (B) again. *Indication of the memorized maximum depth continues for 30 seconds and is automatically canceled after that. The memory of the maximum depth of the last dive is held until the watch is used in the next dive. If the maximum depth in diving is less than 1 m (5 ft), it is not memorized. On the other hand, if the maximum depth exceeds 50 m (125 ft) it is memorized as an over-zone depth. When the watch is used in diving for the first time, it occasionally shows data stored during inspection prior to shipment.

H. Chronograph Made

The chronograph function enables this watch to measure time in units of 1 second for a maximum of 49 minutes 59 seconds. When it has reached 50 minutes, since a time measurement was started, the chronograph stops measuring time and the hands move to the reset position. <Chronograph indication - Reset position -> * If the watch is left in reset status in the chronograph mode for 3 minutes, it automatically switches to the Time mode.
<How to measure time> (1) In the Time mode, press and hold button (A) for 2 seconds or more to switch the watch to the Chronograph mode. As a result, both the function hand and mode hand quickly go to their respective "O" positions and then stop. (2) Each time button (B) is pressed, both the hands start and stop alternately. (3) If button (A) is pressed while both the hands are stopped, the chronograph switches to the reset status. ~
* The watch cannot be switched to the Chronograph mode from the Diving mode. * If the function hand or/and mode hand do not reset to their respective "O" positions when the watch enters the Chronograph mode or the chronograph is reset, adjust the hand(s) to the "O" position referring to section "1. Measures Against Possible Problems". * The mode cannot be changed while the time is being measured in the Chronograph mode. If the mode is changed while in the stop-state of the Chronograph mode, then indication is cleared. Return to Table of Contents
1. Measures Against Possible Problems
If the solar powered watch is insufficiently charged or its battery power is considerably consumed, the watch functions are limited to a certain range and the watch warns the user of its status by various means such as abnormal indications. To avoid such a power failure, always keep the battery sufficiently charged.

* One of the hands is out of the correct position.
If a strong shock or static electricity is given to the watch by careless handling, the hands may show an incorrect indication. Adjust the function hand (chronograph second indicator) when it is out of the "O" position (the mode hand functions normally) in the following conditions referring to section "J. Setting Function Hand at "O" Position". 1) When the watch is in the reset status of the Chronograph mode 2) When the watch is set to the time adjustment mode (the crown is pulled to the second click stop position) 3) When the watch is in the diving mode (standby status). In the case the function hand and/or the mode hand are out of their respective "O" position in other modes, adjust the hand(s) referring to section "K. All Reset/Adjusting Hand Position".
* The second hand jumps 2 seconds every 2 seconds.
Note this as the insufficient charge warning that warns the user of a decline in battery power. If it occurs, immediately recharge the battery sufficiently. * For details, refer to section "B. Warning Functions of this Solar Powered Watch".
* The second hand moves irregularly every 2 seconds.
Note this as the time setting warning that warns of incorrect time indication caused by a temporary stoppage of the watch. In such a case, sufficiently charge the battery, and then set the watch for the correct time. * For details, refer to section "B. Warning Functions of this Solar Powered Watch".
* The modes cannot be switched.
If the battery power drops, the modes cannot be switched under the following conditions. * When the function hand points to "NG", the watch cannot be switched over to the Diving mode even if the water sensor gets wet. * When the watch is in the insufficient charge warning status, the mode cannot be switched over to the Chronograph mode. In such a case, sufficiently charge the battery. * For details, refer to "B. Warning Functions of this Solar Powered Watch".
* The watch does not switch to the Time mode from the Diving mode (depth indication mode).
When the user is at high altitudes or is on an airplane flight, the watch may unexpectedly be shifted to the Diving mode because of a sharp change in the atmospheric pressure (pressure change equivalent to the depth of 1 m/5 ft). If it occurs, the watch may fail to switch from the Diving mode after the user goes back to the ground level, because the depth meter function didn't reset the depth indication to "O m (O ft)". In addition to the aforementioned case, the watch may enter the Diving mode because perspiration or other moisture activates the water sensor. If the depth indication is less than 4 m (15 ft), press button (A) for 2 seconds or more to switch to the Time mode. If the depth indication is more than 4 m (15 ft), adjust the watch according to section "K. All Reset/Adjusting Hand Position".

K. All Reset / Adjusting Hand Position
* The function hand continues to indicate the over-zone mark.
If the water sensor gets dirty or wet, it is activated even when the watch is not wet and the wet detection error indication (the function hand points to the over-zone mark) appears. In case the watch falls into this status, carefully clean the water sensor part and wipe out moisture completely. * If careful cleaning results in failure in recovering the watch from the above-mentioned status, it is possible that the pressure sensor is faulty. In that case, immediately stop using the watch and consult the Citizen Service Center.
* The watch malfunctions otherwise or shows abnormal reading.
If a strong shock or static electricity is given to the watch, the watch may come into abnormal running that is out of explanation of this instruction manual. If the watch falls into such a status, adjust it following the instructions of "K. All Reset/Adjusting Hand Position".
J. Setting Function Hand at "O" Position
Within +/- graduations before/after the "O" point. 1. Set the watch to the Time mode or Chronograph mode. Turn the crown to loosen it and pull it out to the second click stop position. 2. Press button (A) or (B) to set the function hand to the "O" position. 3. Press the crown in to the normal position and turn it until it is tightly screwed against the case.
The aforementioned procedure is effective only when the hand is located within 15 graduations before/after the "O" point. When the hand is located outside the adjustable range, correct the "O" position of the hand referring to section "K. All Reset/Adjusting Hand Position". If the watch has been left without any operation for 3 minutes or longer as the crown is pulled to the second click stop position, the function hand does not move regardless of button operation. If the watch falls into such the condition, press the crown into the normal position and make a fresh start to adjust the hand position. Before unscrewing and pulling out the crown, make sure that the crown is not wet.
Automatic time correction function
If it takes 4 minutes or less to adjust the position of the function hand in the Chronograph mode, the watch automatically sets the hour, minute and second hands for the correct time immediately after the adjustment by the automatic time correction function. Therefore, if adjustment is finished within 4 minutes, the watch has no need of manual time correction. However, if the crown is turned during adjustment, the watch will not indicating a correct time. If adjustment is not complete within 4 minutes, you will need to not only adjust the "O" position of the second indicator (function hand) in the Chronograph mode but also to set the correct time.

1. Unscrew the crown and pull it out to the second click stop position. 2. Press buttons (A) and (B) simultaneously. If the function hand moves slightly, the watch is reset in whole. 3. Press button (A) or (B) to set the function and mode hands to their respective "O" positions. Button (A): For adjustment Counterclockwise. Button (B): For adjustment clockwise. *The function hand and the mode hand move interlocking with each other. 4. Correct the time indication by
5. Press the crown in to the normal position and screw it down tightly against the case. As the crown is pressed into the normal position, the watch returns to the Time mode and starts running. * After the watch is reset, the function hand points at "NG" position regardless of remaining battery power. Approximately 1 hour after resetting, the function hand will indicate the charge level. (While the function hand is indicating "NG", the watch cannot be switched to the Diving mode * If the ALL RESET/ADJUSTING HAND POSITION fails in clearing away the trouble, consult the Citizen Service Center about the trouble.
5.RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHARGE LEVEL INDICATION AND RUNNING PERIOD OF WATCH
[LV2 on the charge level indicator (function hand) indicates that charging is completed. (The rechargeable battery is at full charge)] The charge level indication (function hand) indicates the charge level of the battery with three marks of LV.1, LV.2, and NG. The relationship between these levels and the running period of the watch is shown below. After the battery is fully charged, LV.1 is indicated for about one month in which the watch can be used for diving. If the battery is fully charged, function hand indicates LV.2. In several hours - one day after charging is stopped, the scale indicates LV.1 again. (The time when LV.2 changes to LV.1 after the battery is fully charged depends on the intensity of the light used for charging and the length time taken to charge the battery fully.) Then, function hand keeps indicating LV.1, then indicates NG to inform that the watch cannot be used for diving.

<Remark>

As explained above, LV.1 indicates the range from condition (1) that the battery is almost fully charged and the watch can be used for diving sufficiently to condition (9) that the watch can be used for at least "one diving about one hour long" and NG appears soon. Accordingly, the condition of LV.1 is explained as the condition that "the watch can be used for one diving about one hour long" on the instruction manual (explanation of the charge level indication), considering the safety and assuming the worst condition.

6. NOTE ON ECO DRIVE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
The rechargeable battery used in this watch is a clean energy battery that incorporates no toxic substance such as mercury inside. The secondary battery has no need of periodical replacement because it is capable of repeated charging and discharging.

7. PRECAUTION FOR DIVING

Be sure you fully understand the precautions on use of this watch and how to use it in advance. <Before using this watch for diving> * For using this watch as an auxiliary depth gauge, the user must not only receive general training and instructions in diving but also follow various rules. * The user should not use this watch without a good knowledge and understanding of the proper way to handle and operate it and the precautions on it. If this watch is improperly used, it may result in malfunction or breakdown of the watch.
<Regarding the depth meter function> * Since the depth meter function of this watch is not approved as an official depth gauge, use this function as an auxiliary means to measure a depth. * Read the depth meter indication of this watch as a rough guideline.

<For safe diving>

When diving, obey the rules of the buddy system* every time. For safety, it is advised that you enjoy sports diving in the depths around 20 m (60 ft). Before diving with this watch, fully charge the battery without fail. When the battery is not sufficiently charged (the function hand points at "NG"), the depth meter function cannot be used. If battery power declines considerably during diving, the depth meter function to measure depth is discontinued. After diving, take a good rest following safety rules. If you take a plane or move to a high place without a sufficient rest after diving, you may suffer from decompression sickness (caisson disease). * Buddy system means that two divers pair with each other for safe diving
<Circumstances that prohibit use of this watch in diving> DO NOT use this watch for diving under the following circumstances.
When the function hand indicates "NG" on the charging level index. When the function hand indicates "NG" on the charging level, the watch will not measure the depth. If the function hand points at "NG" on the charging level during diving, immediately stop using the depth meter function of the watch since the watch discontinues depth measurement in this condition. When the watch stops running or malfunctions. (Be careful not to knock the watch against hard things such as diving apparatus, rocks, etc.) When the water temperature is out of the guaranteed range for measuring depth. The accuracy of the depth meter function is guaranteed under the condition that water temperature is between + 1 O'C and +40'C (50'F and 104'F). For the purpose of knowing a risk of a behavior or situation. This watch is not designed to serve as a drowning prevention instrument or an emergency instrument. In the environment filled with helium gas (saturated diving, etc.). Use of the watch in such conditions may cause failure or breakdown of the watch.

RUBBER Rubber straps should be washed frequently with mild soap and warm water using a soft brush. Thorough cleaning, using the same method, should especially be done after use in salt water. Solvents, oils, perspiration, tanning lotion and salt can cause rubber to deteriorate if not removed.

WATER RESIST

See instruction book for further information

Water Resistance

The water-resistant quality of our timepieces is offered in varying degrees depending on the model. This ranges from non-water resistant models to those suitable for SCUBA diving. Water resistance of our timepieces is measured in BAR or Barometric Pressure. Each BAR of pressure is equal to 14.5 pounds per square inch of pressure. Water resistance is measured when the watch is at a static, or motionless state. As the watch is moved in water, such as from the motion of swimming, pressure is added from velocity. While you may be swimming in a pool at surface level, the watch may be experiencing forces equal to that of 100 feet of water pressure (3 BAR). Diving into a pool can cause forces on the watch to exceed those pressures. As such, you should always allow a margin of safety when exposing your watch to moisture. Never "push the limit" of the degree of water resistance of your timepiece. A primary factor to keep in mind about water resistance is that periodic maintenance is needed to maintain original factory specifications for water resistance. When a watch is new, it meets specifications for water resistance as indicated on the case back. However, as the watch ages, the gaskets that seal the watch become dry and brittle, diminishing its water resistant quality. Exposure to environments such as chlorinated pools, salt water or soaps from showering can accelerate drying of the gaskets. We recommend that the gaskets be changed at least every 18 to 24 months to maintain the water resistant quality of your timepiece. If the watch is frequently exposed to chlorinated pools, soaps salt water, etc., we recommend that the gaskets be changed on a yearly basis. From time to time, you may notice condensation that appears then goes away after a short period of time. This is a normal occurrence and happens primarily from sudden temperature changes. When there are sudden temperature changes such as entering a cool building from the hot out of doors, or jumping into pool on a hot day the watch may fog. Conversely, if you go to the cold outdoors from a warm building, fogging may occur. As long as the fogging clears in a short period of time, there is no need for concern. Be sure the crown is completely pushed in prior to any contact with moisture. If your model is equipped with a screw down crown, be sure it is properly seated against the case. Do not operate the crown or any push button when the watch is wet as this may allow the entrance of moisture. If at anytime, you notice moisture in your timepiece that does not clear in a short period of time, you should send your timepiece as soon as possible to the nearest Authorized Service Center for inspection. You can determine the level of water resistance of our watches from the markings on your case-back. Additionally, models that are water resistant to 100 or 200 meters have an indication on the dial as well. The case-backs and dials are normally marked as follows: The case back has no indication of water resistance This indicates the watch is a non water-resistant model and is not designed for contact with moisture at all. Caution should be exercised to avoid any contact with moisture, such as when washing your hands or from a rainstorm. Water Resist This watch is designed to withstand water from accidental splashing, such as from washing your hands or rain. Any submersion into water may result in the entrance of moisture. Water Resist 10BAR or W.R. 10BAR, Dial marked WR100 This watch is designed to withstand water pressure up to 333 feet. This includes water exposure from accidental splashing and rain, but also from showering, swimming in a pool and snorkeling.

Water Resist 20BAR or W.R. 20BAR, Dial marked WR200 This watch is designed to withstand water pressure up to 666 feet. This includes all exposure to water up to and including recreational SCUBA diving. Be sure to rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to a chlorinated pool, salt water, soaps, etc. After rinsing with fresh water, be sure to dry the exterior with a soft cloth. Special Note about Jacuzzis and Hot Tubs The various components used in the manufacture and assembly of your watch expand at various rates. This results in a loss of the sealing capabilities of gaskets, which may allow moisture to enter. In addition, heat from these sources can cause deformation of certain materials leading to mechanical failures. For these reasons, you should remove your watch before entering a hot tub or Jacuzzi.

Call Indicator

Some of our analog Aqualand dive watches feature the ability to recall the depth attained on the most recent dive, up to 125 feet or 50 meters. This feature is indicated by the word CALL on the dial between the 5 and 10 minute position. To review the depth of the last dive, while in the time mode, press and release the upper right button to activate the call feature. The function hand will rotate to indicate the depth attained on the most recent dive (depth is indicated on the dial ring marked 10,20,30,40,50, etc.) To return to the time mode, press and release the upper right button again.
