date. Time and calendar setting is done electronically
by turning the crown.
ALL RESET PROCEDURE
•
Pull the crown out two ‘clicks,’ and press in recessed
button (on the side of the case at the 2:00 position)
for 2 to 3 seconds and release. The hour, minute
and second hands will move, then stop. ALL RESET
PROCEDURE is now complete and BASE POSITION
ADJUSTMENT can be made.
BASE POSITION ADJUSTMENT
•
After the ALL RESET PROCEDURE, with the crown still
pulled out two ‘clicks,’ turn the crown and move the
hour and minute hands to the 12:00 position.
•
Press the crown in and pull it out one ‘click’ and
then turn the crown clockwise and move the second
hand to the zero mark. Turn the crown counter-
clockwise quickly two or three ‘clicks’ and date will
change automatically every 5 seconds, until the
crown is turned one ‘click’ in either direction to stop
its advance. Move the date to the number 1. BASE
POSITION ADJUSTMENT is now completed.
•
Press the crown in and wait for the second hand
to move in two second steps (signaling memory
is set). Proceed with the time and calendar
setting procedures.
TO SET THE TIME
The Citizen Eco-Drive perpetual calendar watch is
preset at the factory, but because it has crossed time
zones and the international date line, you will probably
need to set it once to be set for life. Just follow these
simple instructions.
• 
Pull the crown out to the first ‘click’. The second hand
will move to the month/leap year position that has
been previously set. Make sure that it is set to the
correct month/leap year as follows:
REGARDING THE MONTH
January: Between 1:00 and 2:00
February: Between 2:00 and 3:00
December: Between 12:00 and 1:00
Year Passages Year Passages
2012 Leap Year 2016 Leap Year
2013 1st Year 2017 1st Year
2014 2nd Year 2018 2nd Year
2015 3rd Year 2019 3rd Year
If the month/leap year position needs to be adjusted,
turn the crown clockwise. The second hand moves one
step for each ‘click.’ Set the second hand to the correct
month/leap year position.
• 
If the date needs to be adjusted, turn the crown
counterclockwise. The date advances one day
forward for each ‘click.’
• 
To set the time, pull the crown out to the second
‘click’ and adjust the hands.
• 
After setting is complete, return the crown to
the original position. The watch will resume
normal operation.
TO READ THE CALENDAR MEMORY
•
Pull the crown out one ‘click.’ The second hand
becomes the month/leap year indicator. The hour
markers, 1-12 acts as month number indicators. The
first 3 minute markers after each hour mark are used
to indicate the number of years after a leap year.
EXAMPLE: If the second hand moves to the 12 marker
exactly, the month would be December of a leap year. If
the second hand moves to three ‘ticks’ after the 12, that
would indicate that the memory is set to December and
the Year is set to 3 years after a leap year.
TO SET THE CALENDAR
•
Pull the crown out one ‘click,’ the second hand will
move to a month/leap year position and stop.
•
To change the month/leap year indication, turn the
crown clockwise one ‘click.’ The second hand moves
forward one ‘tic.’ Set the second hand to correct
indication according to the calendar memory guide
shown to the left.
•
To change the date, turn crown one ‘click’
counterclockwise and the date moves one day
forward. If the crown is turned counterclockwise
quickly 2 or 3 ‘clicks,’ the date will change
automatically every 5 seconds until the crown is
turned 1 ‘click’ in either direction to stop its advance.
After setting press crown in and screw down tight.
•
Since the calendar is perpetual, once it is set
correctly, it changes month, year setting and date
automatically until the year 2100.
TO CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT TIME ZONE
Crown is unscrewed (if crown is screw lock type) but
NOT pulled out during this adjustment.
•
Press in and release recessed push button at the 2:00
position on the side of the case and turn the crown
clockwise. The hour and minutes hands will move
forward one hour.
•
Turn the crown counterclockwise and the hands will
move backward one hour. The second hand continues
moving while Time Zone is changed so the accuracy of
the time is not affected.

Daily Alarm
NOTE: If you suspect a malfunction, first check the 0-position
of the hands by pulling the crown out two ‘clicks’. If the
hands and date do not move to their 0-position, it will be
necessary to set them for proper operation.
After a full recharge from complete power loss or if
abnormal operation is noted, an ALL RESET PROCEDURE
and 0-POSITIONING CORRECTION will be needed.
The second hand on this watch moves in one second
step increments to indicate that the charge level is
sufficient for normal time keeping operation. If the
reserve power drops to a level where more charging is
needed, the second hand moves to the CHARGE position
on the dial as a reminder. When the watch is sufficiently
charged, the second hand will resume the single second
step movement. Refer to your Instruction Manual for a
complete charging guide.
ALL RESET PROCEDURE
•
Turn the crown to set the Mode hand to the
chronograph (CHR) mode.
•
Pull the crown out two ‘clicks’ (0-position correction
mode). Each of the hands and date moves to their
respective 0-positions stored in memory and then stops.
•
Press the upper right (A) and lower right (B) buttons
simultaneously, then release. Following a confirmation
tone, each of the hands performs a demonstration
movement in the order of the function, 24-hour, hour,
minute and second hands to indicate that the ALL
RESET PROCEDURE is finished.
•
Continue with the 0-POSITIONING CORRECTION
PROCEDURES.
0-POSITIONING CORRECTION OF
FUNCTION HAND AND DATE
•
Pull the crown out to one ‘click’ in the chronograph
(CHR) mode to correct the function hand and date.
•
Click (turn) the crown to the left to align the date.
•
Clicking the crown once causes the function hand to make
four revolutions and the date to be corrected by one day.
•
Turning the crown rapidly (‘clicking’ continuously two
or more times) causes the function hand to advance
continuously. When stopping the function hand, ‘click’
the crown once to the right or left. When the function
hand is not stopped manually, it stops automatically
after advancing 31 days.
•
The 12:00 position immediately after the date changes
to the ‘1st’ in the 0-position of the function hand. After
correcting the date to the ‘31st’ by turning the crown,
press the upper right button (A) to finely correct the
function hand so that the function hand is aligned at
the 0-position after the date changes to the ‘1st’.
0-POSITIONING CORRECTION OF 24-HOUR,
HOUR, MINUTE AND SECOND HANDS
•
Turn the crown clockwise or counterclockwise to move
the Mode hand to the Chronograph (CHR) position.
•
Pull the crown out two ‘clicks’.
•
Pressing the upper right button (A) causes the second
hand to be corrected by one second at a time each time
it is pressed. Pressing and holding the upper right button
(A) down causes the second hand to advance rapidly.
•
Turning the crown allows correction of the 24-hour
and minute hands. Turning the crown once to the right
causes the hour and minute hands to move clockwise
or turning the crown once to the left causes the hour
and minute hands to move counter clockwise. Turning
the crown rapidly (‘clicking’ continuously two or more
times) causes the hands to advance rapidly. When
stopping the hands, turn the crown once to the right or
left. When the hands are not stopped manually, they
stop automatically after being corrected by 12 hours.
TO SET THE TIME
•
Turn the crown clockwise or counterclockwise to move
the Mode hand to the time (TME) position.
•
Pull the crown out two ‘clicks’. The second hand moves
to the 0-position and stops. If the second hand stops at
any other position, you must perform an ALL RESET
PROCEDURE and 0-POSITIONING CORRECTION.
•
Turning the crown changes the position of the hour,
minute and 24-hour hands electronically. Turning
the crown clockwise moves the hands forward or
counterclockwise moves the hands backward. Turning
the crown quickly causes the hands to move in a
continuous or rapid set manner. Turning the crown one
‘click’ in either direction while the hands are in the
‘rapid set’ mode will cause the hands to stop.
•
Be sure to set time to correct AM/PM by referring to
the 24-hour hand. After setting time, push the crown
in to finalize time setting.
TO SET THE CALENDAR
•
The calendar is set while the mode hand is in the time
(TME) position.
•
Pull the crown out one ‘click’. The sweep second hand
becomes the month indicator and moves to an hour
marker (1-12) to indicate the month number.
EXAMPLE: If the sweep second hand moves to hour marker
4, it would indicate that the month is April. At the same time,
the function hand moves to a position on the upper right
dial to indicate whether the year is a leap year or 1, 2 or 3
years after a leap year. The 0-position of the function hand
indicates a leap year. Leap years +1, +2 and +3 are indicated
by the three markers following the 0-position.
•
To correct the month number, press and release the
lower right button (B) until the sweep second hand
indicates the correct month (numeric). To correct the
leap year indication, press and release the upper
right button (A). To change the date, turn the crown
counter clockwise one ‘click’ to move the date forward
one day at a time. Turning the crown counterclockwise
quickly will cause the date to ‘rapid set’ or change
continuously. To stop the advance, turn the crown
forward or backward one ‘click’.
•
Push the crown in to finalize the calendar setting. Once
the calendar is set correctly and the watch is kept
charged up, automatic operation of the month, date and
leap year indication will continue until the year 2100.
TO USE THE CHRONOGRAPH
•
Turn the crown to move the mode hand to the
chronograph (CHR) mode.
•
Press the upper right button (A) to start or stop the
chrono graph. A confirmation beep will signal when the
upper right button (A) is pressed. While measuring the
elapsed time, sweep second hand records seconds and
function hand measures minutes. After the chronograph
is stopped, if the lower right button (B) is pressed, the
function hand will indicate 1/20-second total.
•
To return the chronograph hands to 12:00 after the
chronograph is stopped, press and hold down the
upper right button (A).
•
The chronograph will measure up to a maximum of
59 minutes and 59.99 seconds in 1/20-second
increments and then stop at the 0-position.
TO SET THE LOCAL TIME
•
The local time (L-TM) function allows the time to be
set and displayed for a different time zone other than
your own.
•
Turn the crown to set the mode hand to local time
(L-TM) mode.
•
Pull the crown out two ‘clicks’ to the time setting
position.
•
Turn the crown clockwise one ‘click’. The hour,
minute and 24-hour hands move forward one
hour (always refer to 24-hour hand to set AM/PM
correctly). Turning the crown counter clockwise one
‘click’ will cause the hands to move backward one
hour. If while changing the time to a different time
zone in the clockwise direction, 12:00 midnight is
passed, date will advance one day. If the time is
changed in the counter clockwise direction and
12:00 midnight is passed, the date will be
corrected, but this may take 2 or 3 minutes for
the change to occur.
TO USE THE ALARM
•
The alarm time should be set while referring to the 24-hour
clock to assure that AM/PM setting is correct. When set, it
will sound for 15 seconds at the alarm set time each day.
The sounding may be stopped at any time by pressing
either the upper right (A) or lower right (B) buttons.
•
The alarm can only be set according to the time set in
the normal (TME) mode.
•
Turn the crown to move the mode hand to the alarm
(ALM) mode. The second hand will move to the ON or
OFF position and the hour, minute and 24-hour hand
will move to the previously set alarm time.
•
Pull the crown out two ‘clicks’ to the time setting position.
The alarm will automatically be set to the ON position.
•
Set alarm time by turning the crown clockwise to move
the hands forward and counterclockwise to move the
hands backward. Be sure to refer to the 24-hour hand
so that correct AM/PM time is set.
•
While in alarm mode with the crown still pulled out,
you may change alarm set to ON or OFF by pressing
and releasing the upper right button (A).
•
Push the crown in to finalize alarm setting.
While the crown is in the normal position in
alarm mode, if the upper right button (A) is
pressed, alarm monitor tone will sound.
