If the course steered falls to the minus (–) side of the white line on the watch, you know it is favourable to cross the start/finish line on a heading from the opposite direction.

Use any one or a combination of three methods described above to help your boat into and maintain the position you feel is the most advantageous during a race.

9. Precautions

1) Resistance to water

Refer to the table for water-resistance performance after checking the water-resistance characteristics inscribed on the face and back of the watch.

Always set the crown in the normal position.

While working with water and using as a water- resistance sports watch, when the watch is dipped in the sea water or after a lot of sweat, please rinse it well in fresh water and dry it well with a cloth.

Leather belts have characteristics that may affect durability after getting wet.

Because there is always moisture inside the watch, when the air temperature is lower than inside the watch, the surface of the glass may fog. If the fog remains temporarily there is no problem, but if it doesn’t disappear after a long period of time, please consult the shop you purchased it from or a shop dealing with Citizen Watch.

Check the chart to determine the water resistant properties of this watch.

‘‘WATER RESISTANT’’ may sometimes be abbreviated ‘‘WATER RESIST’’ • Always set the crown in the normal position

2) Avoid temperature extremes

Avoid leaving your watch in direct sunlight or in extremely warm locations for long periods of time.

This will cause malfunctioning and shorten the life of a battery. Do not leave your watch for long periods of time in extremely cold places.

This may cause your watch to gain or lose time.

Place your watch on your wrist to restore its original accuracy should it begin to gain or lose time.

3) Avoid wet conditions

Do not operate the buttons when your watch is wet.

4) Avoid strong shock

This watch will withstand the bumps and jars normally incurred while playing and during sports activities. Avoid dropping your watch on the ground or otherwise imparting severe shock to it.

5) Avoid strong magnetic fields

Keep your watch out of the immediate vicinity of strong magnets. Generally, your watch is not affected by magnetic fields from such household appliances as television sets and stereo equipment.

6) Static Electricity

The integrated circuits used in the watch are sensitive to static electricity. If exposed to intense static electricity, the watch’s display may lose its accuracy.

7)Avoid harmful chemicals, solvents and gases Avoid wearing your watch in the presence of strong chemicals, solvents and gases. If your watch comes in contact with materials such as gasoline, benzine, paint thinner, alcohol, spray cosmetics, nail polish, nail polish remover, adhesives or paint, discolouration, deterioration or damage to the case, band, and other components may occur.
