This document describes how to use a Citizen Eco-Drive watch.
This is the Citizen instruction manual for an analog solar-powered Eco-Drive watch, printed under the reference PAE09 and covering the J7*/J8* movement. The text is given in Japanese, English and Chinese. It explains the notes to read before use, how the watch is charged from light, how to handle the crown, how to set the time, and the basic specifications.
The manual states that the watch runs on a rechargeable cell charged by exposing the dial to light, gives the running time and accuracy, and lists the safety advisories and the insufficient charge warning. It also describes how to read the case number engraved on the case back and notes that band adjustment should be left to an experienced watch technician.
