2. Use of this Watch

CAUTION
When using this watch, please make sure that you have a thorough understanding of its handling and precautions relating to its use to ensure that it is used correctly. Please note that handling this watch in a manner not described in these instructions may cause it to function improperly.

A. Use During Diving

CAUTION: Please observe the following for safe diving.
When using this watch during diving, always make sure to receive the necessary education and training and observe diving rules. Always make sure to use the buddy system *1 when diving. This watch is recommended to be used for recreational diving only to depths of no more than 20 m in consideration of safety. It is recommended that the battery be replaced promptly. The battery life of this watch is approximately 2 years after a new battery has been installed (although this varies considerably depending on the frequency of use of the water depth measurement function and other functions). Please make sure to allow for a suitable rest period after diving in accordance with rules for diving safety. Flying in an airplane or moving to high altitudes without allowing a suitable rest period after diving can cause decompression sickness (bends). *1:The buddy system refers to diving in pairs so that each person can look out for the safety of the other.

WARNING
The water depth measurement functions as well as the altitude and barometric pressure measurement functions of this watch are not certified for use as officially sanctioned measuring instruments. They should only used as auxiliary measurements. The measured values for water depth, altitude and barometric pressure displayed by this watch should only be used for reference purposes as rough indications of their respective values.

PROHIBITED: Prohibited Uses During Diving

Do not use this watch for diving under the following conditions: When the low battery warning function has been activated The second hand of the watch moves at two-second intervals when the battery level becomes low. When the watch stops or when an abnormality occurs (please be careful not to bump the watch on diving equipment, rocks or other hard objects). When the water depth measurement function is used outside the guaranteed temperature range or at high altitudes The temperature range over which the water depth measurement accuracy of this watch is guaranteed is +10C to +40C. Water depth cannot be measured at altitudes more than 4,000 m above sea level. When behavior or the situation is judged to be dangerous This watch is not made to be used as a preventive or emergency device for shipwrecks or other maritime accidents. When the watch is used in atmospheres containing helium gas (such as during saturated diving) Use of the watch under these conditions can cause failure or damage to the watch.

CAUTION - Diving Precautions

<Before Diving>
Check that the display of the watch is in a mode other than the altitude measurement mode or chronograph measurement mode. Check that ER or CHEk is not displayed on the digital display. Check that the crown is firmly pressed in and screwed in to the lock position. Check that the band is securely fastened to the watch body. Check that there are no cracks, chips or other abnormalities in the watch band or glass. Check that the rotating bezel rotates normally. Check that the time and date are set correctly. Check that the water depth alarm and dive time alarm are set correctly. Check that the second hand is moving properly. * If the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, this indicates that the battery is nearly worn down. Please have the battery replaced at a Citizen Service Center.

13

<During Diving>
Avoid ascending too rapidly. Attempting to ascend at an excessively rapid rate can have detrimental effects on the body such as causing the bends. Observe a safe ascent rate at all times. Never attempt to operate the crown underwater. This can cause a malfunction due to impaired water resistance. Caution is required since the alarm may be difficult to hear due to breathing noise underwater.

CAUTION - Diving at High Altitudes or in Fresh Water

Do not use this watch when diving at high altitudes more than 4000 m above sea level since it is unable to measure water depth correctly under these conditions. When diving at high altitudes or in fresh water, only use the watch after receiving special safety training. Since this watch displays water depth by converting on the basis of sea water (specific gravity: 1.025), the water depth displayed when diving in fresh water is actually 2.5% deeper. For example, when the watch displays a water depth of 20 m in fresh water, the actual water depth is 20 x 1.025 = 20.5 m.

<After Diving>
Allow a suitable rest period after diving while referring to the surface mode (measurement of elapsed time after diving). Rinse off any sea water, mud or sand adhering to the watch with fresh water after confirming that the crown is screwed in and locked in position, and then wipe off any excess moisture with a dry cloth. Do not attempt to remove any debris or dirt trapped in the sensor by removing the sensor cover or poking with a sharp object. If debris should happen to enter the sensor, rinse with fresh water. When debris cannot be removed by rinsing, consult a Citizen Service Center.

B. Use of Altimeter and Barometer

CAUTION - Altitude and Barometric Pressure Measurement Functions
The altitude displayed by this watch is approximate altitude as calculated by applying external barometric pressure as detected with a pressure sensor to the relationship between altitude and barometric pressure of an international standard atmospheric model. Consequently, even when altitude is measured at the same location, the displayed altitude varies if the barometric pressure changes. In order to measure altitude correctly, it is necessary to always correct altitude at a location where the correct altitude is clearly indicated. For further details, refer to Section 15 entitled, Altimeter Basic Features. Since barometric pressure displayed by this watch is the external barometric pressure detected by a pressure sensor at the location of the measurement, the displayed barometric pressure changes if altitude changes. In addition, it also differs from the barometric pressure indicated on weather maps (barometric pressure converted to that at 0 m above sea level). Use the barometric pressure measurement function of this watch as a general reference for monitoring changes in barometric pressure at the same location. Both the altitude and barometric pressure measurement functions of this watch are subject to the effects of temperature changes. Even in the case of

the same barometric pressure, display values (for altitude and barometric pressure) may change if the temperature changes.

PROHIBITED - Prohibited Uses of Altitude and Barometric

Pressure Measurement Functions Do not use the altitude or barometric pressure measurement function of this watch under the following conditions: When behavior or the situation is judged to be dangerous When there are sudden changes in barometric pressure and temperature due to changes in weather conditions When barometric pressure is being adjusted such as in an airplane or building When altitude changes greatly in a short time (such as when skydiving)

CAUTION - Pressure Sensor

The pressure sensor used in this watch is a high-precision device. Never attempt to disassemble it or poke it with a sharp object. The altitude measurement function may not operate properly if air is not allowed to flow to the sensor. Be careful to prevent debris and dust from entering the sensor as much as possible. In case debris, dust or other dirt becomes trapped in the sensor, rinse the sensor with fresh water. If the debris cannot be removed by rinsing, please consult a Citizen Service Center.

D. Warning Functions During Water Depth Measurement

This watch is equipped with the following three warning functions. These warning functions should be used for reference purposes to ensure safe diving.

<Rapid Ascent Warning Function>

The rapid ascent warning alarm sounds when the ascent rate while diving exceeds 1.5 meters in 10 seconds. SLOW is displayed on the digital display during the time the rapid ascent warning alarm is sounding. The alarm continues to sound until a proper ascent rate is achieved.

Starts (A)

52

53

<Abnormal Depth, Warning Function> When water depth changes rapidly by more than 4 meters in 1 second during water depth measurement, the watch interprets this as being an abnormal depth, and ER and diving time are alternately displayed on digital display [2]. This display continues until the water depth measurement mode is terminated. ER is also displayed when altitude exceeds 4000 meters when on land or when there is an abnormality in the pressure sensor. The watch will not switch to the water depth measurement mode while ER is displayed. <Water Sensor Check Warning Function> Once the water sensor has been activated and the watch switches to the preliminary dive display of the water depth measurement mode, and it remains displayed for more than 1 hour without changing to the water depth measurement display, CHEk appears on the digital display to urge the wearer to check the water sensor. This display continues until activation of the water sensor is canceled. While CHEk is displayed, none of the buttons can be operated except for mode switching and measurement of temperature/barometric pressure in the time/calendar mode.

14. Using the Surface Mode

The surface mode automatically measures elapsed time following completion of a dive for a maximum of 23 hours and 59 minutes. This can be used as a general indicator of the amount of rest time on the surface.

SF.M (abbreviation for surface mode) (M)

* The surface mode is displayed when the water depth measurement mode is terminated after diving to a depth of more than 1 meter for 3 consecutive minutes in the water depth measurement mode. * The surface mode is no longer displayed after 24 hours have elapsed following completion of a dive. * When the watch is in the surface mode, none of the buttons can be operated except for switching the mode.

54

55

If the watch is switched to the altitude measurement mode within 24 hours after the watch entered the surface mode, SF.ck is initially displayed for 10 seconds. The watch then switches to the altitude measurement mode. This is displayed to urge the wearer to check whether or not a suitable rest period has been taken after diving, since moving to a high altitude soon after diving can result in the risk of decompression sickness (bends).

15. Altimeter Basic Features

This watch is designed to calculate altitude from changes in barometric pressure using the relationship between barometric pressure and altitude based on the conditions of standard atmosphere*1. Altitude Correction is necessary to ensure accurate display of the altitude while using this watch. *1: Standard Atmosphere Standard atmosphere refers to the ICAO Standard Atmosphere employed by ICAO (International Civil Aeronautics Organization in 1964). It is defined as having a barometric pressure of 1013.25 hPa and air temperature of 15C at sea level. Actual atmospheric states are constantly changing with time even at the same location.

<Altitude Correction>
In order to accurately measure altitude for mountain climbing and so forth, it is necessary to set the displayed altitude to the correct altitude at a location that serves as a reference for correct altitude (triangulation point, first order leveling point or altitude shown on an accurate map). This procedure is referred to as altitude correction. Since the altitude displayed on the watch changes by about 10 meters when barometric pressure changes by 1 hPa (1 hectopascal = 1 millibar), it is necessary to correct altitude several times per day under conditions such as when the weather changes rapidly while mountain climbing.
Peak 2nd altitude correction (reference point)

16. Using the Altitude Measurement Mode

The watch switches to the altitude measurement mode (altitude correction display) when button (M) is pressed for at least 2 seconds in any of the standard modes (except during chronograph measurement). During altitude measurement, altitude and elapsed time from the start of altitude measurement are displayed. In addition, pressing the appropriate buttons allows the watch to save data, including altitude, barometric pressure and time for a maximum of 6 points, in memory in the form of altitude memos.

The altitude measurement mode is composed of the following three displays. The display changes in the order shown on the previous page each time button (M) is pressed. Altitude Correction Display : The altitude displayed on the watch can be corrected to the actual altitude before and during altitude measurement. Continuous Altitude Measurement Display : Altitude is measured every second and displayed continuously for 5 minutes, allowing changes in altitude to be monitored continuously. Fixed Duration Altitude Measurement Display : Altitude is measured and displayed every 15 minutes of elapsed time measurement (00, 15, 30 and 45 minutes). * A series of hyphens is displayed during measurement of altitude and barometric pressure. None of the buttons are operable while is displayed.

A. Altitude Correction
(1) Press button (B) during the altitude correction display to change the direction of the arrow (correcting up or down). Corrections can be made upward when the arrow is pointing up, and downward when the arrow is pointing down. (2) Press button (A) to correct the altitude. Altitude is corrected in 5 m units each time button (A) is pressed. Pressing button (A) continuously causes the change to advance rapidly.

Upward correction

<Auto Shift Function>

When none of the buttons are pressed for about 5 minutes during the altitude correction display, the watch automatically switches to the continuous altitude measurement display. When about 5 minutes elapse during the continuous altitude measurement display, the watch automatically switches to the fixed duration altitude measurement display.

* Altitude correction range: -300 m to 6300 m (in 5 m units) A series of hyphens is displayed when the measured altitude exceeds the altitude correction range. Altitude cannot be corrected by pressing button (A) when this is displayed. * After altitude has been corrected, altitude is measured based on this corrected value. This corrected value is maintained until the next time altitude correction is performed.

Downward correction

60

61

Always make sure to perform altitude correction at a location where altitude does not change. Since altitude is not measured during the altitude correction display, if altitude changes during altitude correction, the actual altitude and altitude displayed on the watch do not agree, thereby preventing altitude from being measured accurately. In addition, since the altitude and barometric pressure measurements performed by this watch are affected by temperature, only perform altitude correction after allowing the watch to acclimate to the surrounding temperature.

B. Continuous Altitude Measurement and Fixed Duration Altitude Measurement

<Switching Between Altitude Display and Barometric Pressure Display>
The watch switches between the altitude display and barometric pressure display whenever button (B) is pressed during the continuous altitude measurement display or fixed duration altitude measurement display.
(B) Altitude (M) (A) (B) Barometric pressure

<Deleting Corrected Value>

The corrected altitude is deleted by simultaneously pressing buttons (A) and (B) for at least 2 seconds during the altitude correction display. After the corrected value is deleted, approximate altitude is displayed corresponding to the conditions of standard atmosphere. The altitude displayed at this time differs from the actual altitude. * When a series of hyphens are flashing on the altitude correction display, since this may indicate that there is an abnormality in altitude measurement or altitude correction, try deleting the corrected value and repeating the altitude correction procedure.

Altitude measuring range: -300 m to +6300 m (in 5 m units) * is displayed when the measuring range is exceeded. Barometric pressure measuring range: 452 to 1050 hPa (in 1 hPa units) * is displayed when the measuring range is exceeded. * An m is displayed during altitude display, while hPa is displayed during barometric pressure display.

A tone confirming button operation sounds and the altitude and barometric pressure at that time are stored in memory in the form of an altitude memo. After this procedure, the point number (P1 through P6) and barometric pressure are displayed for 10 seconds. (2) When button (A) is pressed during point (P1 through P6) and barometric pressure display, the time at that time is stored in memory in the form of a time memo. After this procedure, the point number (P1 through P6) and time are displayed for 10 seconds. (3) Pressing button (A) during display of the point number (P1 through P6) and time returns the watch to the altitude measurement display.

<Elapsed Time Measurement>

* If none of the buttons are pressed for about 10 seconds after performing the procedure of (1) or (2) above, the watch automatically returns to the altitude measurement display. Time is not stored in memory if the procedure of (2) is not performed. * A maximum of 6 altitude memos can be stored in memory. When button (A) is pressed for at least 2 seconds after storing 6 points of altitude memos in memory, FL and are displayed and data is not stored in memory. If additional memos are desired to be stored in memory, it is necessary to delete all point memos in the altitude memo mode of the standard mode.
<Display when Measurement Measurement of elapsed time starts automatically is in Progress> when the watch is initially switched to the continuous altitude measurement display. The amount of time that elapses from the start of altitude measurement during the continuous altitude measurement display or fixed duration altitude mea(A) surement display is measured and displayed. Pressing button (A) during measurement of elapsed time causes a tone confirming button operation to sound and makes it possible to stop and resume measurement of elapsed time. * During measurement of elapsed time, the colon (:) <Display when Measurement of digital display [2] flashes. The colon is disis Stopped> played continuously when measurement is stopped. Elapsed time measuring range : 0 hours 00 minutes to 23 hours 59 minutes (in 1 minute units) * Measurement repeats after 24 hours have elapsed.

18. Low Battery Warning Function

When the battery of the watch approaches the end of its service life, the second hand begins to move at two-second intervals (the second hand advances by two increments in two seconds). When this happens, have the battery replaced as soon as possible. The functions of the watch are restricted according to the conditions described below when the low battery warning function has been activated. Alarm and confirmation tones do not sound. Temperature cannot be measured in the time mode. The watch cannot be switched to the water depth measurement mode (including the preliminary dive display). When the low battery warning function is activated during measurement of water depth, although measurement of water depth continues until completion of that dive, the depth alarm and dive time alarm do not sound. The watch cannot be switched to the altitude measurement mode. When the low battery warning function is activated during continuous altitude measurement, the watch switches to fixed duration altitude measurement.

19. Other Functions

73

B. Rotating Bezel
The rotating bezel is a rotating ring attached to the watch body. It can be used to measured elapsed time while diving.

C. Compass (only applicable to models equipped with a compass)

This compass function can be used to obtain an approximate determination of direction based on the location of the sun. This compass can only be used in the northern hemisphere.

<Using the Rotating Bezel>

Turn the rotating bezel to the left and align the mark (zero mark) with the minute hand before starting the dive. Elapsed time can then be read from the minute marks on the rotating bezel to which the minute hand is pointing. Example : In the illustration at right, the rotating bezel indicates that 10 minutes have elapsed since the start of the dive (location of the mark).

<Using the Compass>

With the dial facing upward, align the hour hand of the watch with the direction of the sun. Since the position halfway between the hour hand and the 12:00 position on the watch dial corresponds to south, direction can be roughly determined by aligning the S mark of the compass with the direction of south as determined above. This determination is subject to a certain amount of error, however, depending on the latitude and season. The compass should therefore only be used as a rough indicator of direction.

The rotating bezel can only be rotated in the counter-clockwise direction to prevent erroneous operation. Caution : Do not attempt to forcibly rotate the rotating bezel in the clockwise direction since this can damage it. When using the rotating bezel, remember that it should only be used as a rough indicator of elapsed time and an appropriate margin of safety should always be allowed.

D. No Decompression Limits
The range within which the diver can rise to the surface without rest for decompression is determined by the depth and elapsed time of the dive. The ranges are called "No Decompression Limits". A table of "No Decompression Limits" compiled according to the U.S. Navy Diving Manual (1993 edition) is printed on the watchband of this watch (there are some models that do not have this table on the watchband). No Decompression -How to read no decompression limitsExample: Read the Limits DEPTH.m N.D.TIME table as follows.

CAUTION
The table of no decompression limits is provided for one-time diving. Since the no decompression limits differ depending on the diver's physical condition and varies among individuals, use this table as a guideline only. In case of diving that requires the diver to take a rest for decompression before ascending to the surface, always follow a reliable manual exclusively compiled for diving.

20. Battery
<Battery Life>
The battery life of this watch is approximately 2 years after a new battery has been installed. Typical Conditions of Use for Battery Life of 2 Years: Alarm: 15 seconds/day Temperature measurement: 3 minutes/day Water depth measurement: 50 times/year (1 hour/measurement) Altitude measurement: 100 times/year (continuous altitude measurement: 10 minutes, fixed duration altitude measurement: 8 hours/measurement) * Battery life varies depending on the frequency of use of the alarm and other functions.

<Replacing the Battery>

The battery of this watch must be replaced at a Citizen Service Center. Please have the battery replaced at a Citizen Service Center. When replacing the battery, the service center also inspects water resistance and performs other checks, including replacement of the packing as necessary. All log memos, altitude memos and other data are erased as a result of battery replacement. Please retain a separate record of this data when it is required for future use. Leaving the battery in the watch after it has become worn down can cause leakage of battery fluid resulting in damage. It is recommended that you have the battery replaced promptly. With long-term use of this watch overseas you run the risk of being unable to have the watch serviced, if a malfunction should happen to occur, due to the absence of a Citizen Service Center in some locations. It is recommended that you have the battery replaced and any necessary maintenance performed prior to traveling overseas. Battery replacement and any accompanying inspections or parts replacement are performed at normal service rates even during the warranty period.

<Battery Installed in Watch at Purchase>

The battery pre-installed in the watch at the time of purchase is a monitor battery provided only for the purpose of viewing functions and performance. Please be aware that the battery may not last for the full two years after purchase for this reason.

78

79

21. Troubleshooting
<When the Second Hand Moves at Two-Second Intervals>
The low battery warning function is activated when the battery approaches the end of its service life. Have the battery replaced promptly when this occurs.

<Watch Cannot be Switched to Another Mode from the Water Depth Measurement Mode>
When there has been a pressure change of 1000 hPa or more with the water sensor still activated by perspiration and so forth at a high altitude (such as in an airplane) and barometric pressure changes occur in a short period of time, the water depth measurement display may not return to 0.0 m after returning to a lower altitude (earth), thereby preventing the watch from leaving the water depth measurement mode. When this happens, pull the crown out after loosening the screw to cancel the water depth measurement mode. (Since the display of analog time becomes incorrect when the crown is pulled out, make sure to reset the analog time after performing this procedure.)

<CHEk Remains Displayed for a Long Time>

It is possible that the water sensor is continuing to operate due to the presence of sand, dirt, perspiration or other debris on the sensor. When this happens, rinse off the debris with water and carefully wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth.

<ER Remains Displayed for a Long Time>

ER is displayed during use on land (excluding locations at an altitude of 4000 m or higher). ER remains displayed even when considerable time has passed after diving. In the above cases, there is the possibility of a problem with the pressure sensor. When this happens, discontinue using the watch and consult your nearest Citizen Service Center.

<Watch Exhibits an Abnormal Display or Operation>

If the watch is accidentally subjected to a strong shock or intense static electricity, the display or operation of the watch may rarely become abnormal (such as the digital display being incorrect or the alarm sounding continuously). When this happens, perform the all-reset procedure as described in Section 23 All-Reset. If the problem is still not resolved even after the all-reset procedure has been performed, please consult your nearest Citizen Service Center.

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 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 a 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: Luminous Dial

The luminous paint used for the dial of this watch is mainly made from a luminescent material, which is harmless to the human body and the environment since it contains no toxic substances such as radioactive materials. This luminous paint stores light of the sun and indoor lighting and emits light in a dark place. However, its luminance gradually fades because it discharges stored light. The duration that the luminous paint emits light differs depending on the illuminance and distance from the light source when it stores light. If the luminous paint stores 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 stores sufficient light especially before diving. It is recommended that you use an underwater flashlight to apply light to the watch during diving.

CAUTION : Repairs performed on this watch

All repairs performed on this watch, including battery replacement, are to be performed by a Citizen Service Center. Request repairs or inspection to a Citizen Service Center.

CAUTION: Keep your watch clean.

Dust and dirt tend to collect in gaps in the back of the case or band. Accumulated 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 accumulated dust and dirt from the gaps in the metal band. If your watch is not water resistant, take it to a Citizen Service Center. 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 Ieave the watch in a place where it is exposed to high temperature, such as the glove compartment or dashboard 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 or a magnetic latch of a refrigerator door, a handbag clasp or the earphone of a mobile phone. If this has occurred, move the watch away from the magnet and reset the time.

WARNING: Handling of the battery

Keep the battery out of the reach of small children. If a child swallows the battery, contact a physician immediately.

 Do NOT place the watch close to household appliances that generate static electricity. Timekeeping may become inaccurate if the watch is exposed to strong static electricity, such as is emitted from a TV screen. 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. may result. If the watch comes in contact with mercury used in thermometers, the case, band or other parts may become discolored.

23. All-Reset
The all-reset procedure is used to return all functions of the watch, including the time and calendar, to their initial states. Perform this all-reset procedure when the display of the watch is abnormal and after replacing the battery. (1) Loosen the crown screw and pull the crown out. (2) Press all three buttons simultaneously. A tone confirming the all-reset procedure sounds. (B) (3) Push the crown in to the normal position. A tone confirming this operation sounds. (4) After resetting the analog time, screw the crown in to the lock position. (M) This completes the all-reset procedure. After performing this procedure, only use the watch after first correctly resetting the display of each mode.
