User manual CITIZEN WATCH G67

[. . . ] Before Using This watch is a solar-powered watch. Before using it, charge the watch sufficiently by exposing it (the face) to light. * In the case the watch has stopped moving due to an insufficient charge, charge the watch by exposing it to sun light or other intence light. This watch uses a secondary battery to store electrical energy. [. . . ] The watch will continue to run properly if it is placed in as bright a location as possible even when not being worn. Charging Precautions · Allowing the watch to reach high temperatures during recharging can damage the watch. Avoid recharging in locations that can reach high temperatures (about 60°C /140°F or higher). Examples: · Charging by placing the watch in close proximity to a light source that easily becomes hot such as an incandescent lamp or halogen lamp. · Charging the watch in a location that can easily become hot such as on an automobile dashboard · When charging using the light from an incandescent lamp, charge while being careful that the watch does not become excessively hot by placing at a distance of at least 50 cm (20in) from the lamp 7. Replacing the Secondary Battery Unlike ordinary batteries, the secondary battery used in this watch can be repeatedly charged and discharged and is not required to be periodically replaced. CAUTION Never use another battery different from the secondary battery used in this watch. The watch structure is so designed that a different kind of battery other than that specified cannot be used to operate it. In case a different kind of battery such as a silver battery is used by some chance, there is a danger that it will be overcharged to burst, causing damage to the watch and even to the human body. 12 13 8. Precautions CAUTION: Water-resistance performance There are several types of water-resistant watches, as shown in the following table. The unit "bar" is roughly equal to 1 atmosphere. * WATER RESIST(ANT) xx bar may also be indicated as W. R. xx bar. Indication Dial WATER RESIST or no indication WR 50 or WATER RESIST 50 WR 100/200 or WATER RESIST 100/200 Case (case back) WATER RESIST(ANT) WATER RESIST(ANT) 5 bar or WATER RESIST(ANT) WATER RESIST(ANT) 10bar/20 bar or WATER RESIST(ANT) Specifications Water-resistant to 3 atmospheres Water-resistant to 5 atmospheres Water-resistant to 10/20 atmospheres Minor exposure to water (washing face, rain, etc. ) For correct use within the design limits of the watch, confirm the level of waterresistance of your watch, as indicated on the dial and case, and consult the table. Examples of use Moderate exposure to water (washing, kitchen work, swimming, etc. ) Marine sports (skin diving) Scuba diving (with air tank) Operation of the crown with moisture visible OK OK OK NO OK OK NO NO OK NO NO NO NO NO NO 15 14 · Water-resistance for daily use (to 3 atmospheres): This type of watch is waterresistant to minor exposure to water. For example, you may 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 use while 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. · 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. 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. [. . . ] Timekeeping may become inaccurate if the watch is exposed to strong static electricity, such as is emitted from a TV screen. 18 · Do NOT subject the watch to a strong shock such as dropping it onto a hard floor. · Avoid using the watch in an environment where it may be exposed to chemicals or corrosive gases. If solvents, such as thinner and benzine, or substances containing such solvents come in contact with the watch, discoloration, melting, cracking, etc. [. . . ]
