2. Поставување и почетно прилагодување
Upon receiving your watch, it may be in a low power state. Expose the watch to a bright light source for several hours to ensure it is fully charged before attempting to set the time or functions.
2.1 Charging the Watch (Eco-Drive)
The Eco-Drive movement converts light into electrical energy, which is stored in a power cell. For optimal performance, ensure the watch is regularly exposed to light.
- Place the watch where the dial is exposed to direct light (natural or artificial).
- Avoid placing the watch in direct sunlight for extended periods in hot environments to prevent overheating.
- A full charge can take several hours depending on the light intensity.

4. Eco-Drive Technology and Care
Citizen Eco-Drive watches are powered by light and do not require conventional battery replacement. This technology converts both natural and artificial light into energy, which is stored in a permanently rechargeable power cell.

4.1 Резерва на енергија
Once fully charged, your Eco-Drive watch can run for several months in complete darkness. If the watch is stored in darkness for an extended period, it may enter a power-saving mode (hands stop moving) to conserve energy. Exposing it to light will reactivate it.
4.2 Упатства за полнење
- Daily Exposure: Wear your watch regularly or place it near a light source to maintain charge.
- Избегнувајте екстремна топлина: Do not place the watch directly under intense sunlight for prolonged periods, especially in hot environments, as this can damage the movement.
- Artificial Light: Флуоресцентни лamps and other artificial light sources can also charge the watch, though it may take longer than natural sunlight.
5. Одржување и грижа
5.1 Водоотпорност (100M)
Your watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), making it suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. It is not recommended for scuba diving.
- Always ensure the crown is pushed in completely before exposing the watch to water.
- Не ракувајте со круната или копчињата додека часовникот е влажен или потопен.
- По изложување на солена вода, исплакнете го часовникот со свежа вода и темелно исушете го.
5.2 Чистење
За да го одржите изгледот на вашиот часовник:
- Избришете го куќиштето и кристалот со мека, сува крпа.
- For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then allow to air dry.

6 Смена на проблеми
If your watch is not functioning as expected, consider the following common issues:
- Часовникот не работи: The most common cause is insufficient charge. Expose the watch to bright light for several hours (e.g., 1-2 days in sunlight or 3-5 days under a fluorescent lamp) to fully charge it.
- Hands Not Moving Correctly: After charging, if the hands are still not moving or are incorrect, perform a full reset and time setting procedure as outlined in the comprehensive manual.
- Date Incorrect: Ensure the perpetual calendar has been set correctly. This often requires a specific sequence of crown and pusher operations.
- Внимавајте на водата внатре: If moisture appears inside the watch, immediately take it to an authorized service center.
