Citizen MA9XXX Avoid Temperature extremes, Avoid wet conditions, Avoid strong shock

3.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 the batteries.

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.

4.Avoid wet conditions

Do not operate your buttons when the watch is wet.

5.Avoid strong shock

This watch will withstand the bumps and jars normally incurred while playing and during sport activities.

Avoid dropping your watch on the ground or otherwise imparting severe shock to it.

6.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 and stereos.

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 the other components may occur.

8.Polarising eyeglasses

The watch digital display can become difficult to read clearly when wearing polarising eyeglasses or sunglasses such as ski goggles and tinted fishing glasses. This problem can be corrected by turning your wrist slightly to change the angle between the eye and watch, providing a clear view of the display.

9.Keep your watch clean

Wipe off any moisture that adheres to the case, glasses and band with a soft, clean cloth. Any dirt left on the case or band may cause skin rash.

A watchband will easily become soiled with dust and perspiration because it is in direct contact with the skin. Even a stainless or gold band may begin to corrode if it has not been cleaned for a long period of time.

Mesh bands, because the meshes are very fine, will lose their particular “flexibility” if they are left soiled for a long time.

Metal bands should be washed periodically to keep them looking beautiful at all times. Metal watchbands are usually washed in mild, soapy water and well wiped off with a soft, absorbent cloth to make sure all water is removed. Pay attention to prevent any water from getting inside your watch when the band is washed.

10.Periodic inspection

Getting your watch checked once every year or two is recommended to ensure long use and trouble-free operation.

11.Be sure to keep the batteries out of reach of infants and small children. Should accidental ingestion occur, consult a doctor at once.
