User manual CITIZEN WATCH G82

[. . . ] Before Using Sufficiently charge the watch prior to use by exposing the dial to light. A considerable amount of time is required to recharge the watch so that it is able to run again once it has stopped. It is therefore recommended to prevent the watch from becoming insufficiently charged by making an effort to recharge it every day. * Recharge the watch by exposing it to sunlight or other intense light if it has stopped. [. . . ] Handling Precautions <Try to Keep the Watch Charged at All Times> Please note that if you wear long sleeves, the watch can easily become insufficiently charged as a result of the watch being covered and not being exposed to light. 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 Full charge time --------143 hours 44 hours 4 hours 30 minutes 500 1. 000 3. 000 10. 000 100. 000 Inside an ordinary office Under a fluorescent lamp (30 W) at a distance of 60-70 cm (24-28 in) Under a fluorescent lamp (30 W) at a distance of 20 cm (8 in) Outdoors, cloudy Outdoors, summer and sunny under direct sunlight ----73 hours 20 hours 5 hours 30 minutes 35 minutes Full charge time: Time to fully recharge the watch after it has stopped. One day usage: Time required for recharging the watch to run for 1 day with normal hand movement (4-second interval movement). 10 11 · 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. 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 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 Case (Case back) WATER RESIST(ANT) WATER RESIST(ANT) 5 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. ) Moderate exposure to water (washing, kitchen Marine sports (skin work, swimming, etc. ) 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 WATER WR 100/200 or WATER 10 bar/20 RESIST(ANT) bar or WATER RESIST 100/200 RESIST(ANT) 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. 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: 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. [. . . ] · Do NOT leave the watch in a place where it is exposed to high temperature, such as the glove compartment or dash-board of a car. Doing so may result in deterioration of the watch, such as deformation of plastic parts. · Do NOT place the watch close to a magnet. Timekeeping will become inaccurate if you place the watch close to magnetic health equipment such as a magnetic necklace, a magnetic latch of a refrigerator door, handbag clasp or the earphone of a mobile phone.
