S.The battery warning function and the battery

1. Battery warning function

•This watch has a battery warning function to let you know when to charge the battery.

•When the dot display alternates between “BAT.,” (D201/D207)/”BT’’ (D202/D208) and dot display, this indicates that the battery is low. Please take the watch to a Citizen Service Centre to get the battery changed and the watch checked as soon

as possible.

★Caution:

When the battery warning function appears during normal display modes, except diving mode, you can not change to diving mode. In diving mode after the battery warning function appears, the battery warning

function may disappear when you cancel diving mode. However, the battery is still low and requires changing as soon as possible.

• Under the following usage condition, the life span of the battery is three years, after a new battery is installed. Usage conditions;

•The battery which is already in your watch when you purchased it, is a monitor battery used to check the functions of the watch, and so the

battery may require changing within 2 years after purchasing the watch.

c. Changing the battery

1)When the battery is changed, the water resistance should be checked, and if need be the seals changed. So it should be carried out by the manufacturer as a repair. Please arrange for a Citizen Service Centre to look after your watch through the shop you purchased it from.

2)When changing the battery, the log data and profile data will be lost, so please transfer the data to a personal computer or record it in a log book beforehand.

3)If you leave a dead battery inside the watch, leakage can cause damage, so we recommend that you change the battery as soon as possible.

4)If you intend to use the watch overseas for any length of time, there may be a chance you cannot get the watch serviced, so we recommend you change the battery prior to your departure.

5)The changing of the battery, and the checking and changing of any incidentals, even within the guarantee period, will be chargeable.
