This document provides an abbreviated instruction manual for the Citizen E210 watch, a solar-powered timepiece with chronograph, alarm, and date functions.

Function Description

The E210 watch is primarily a time-telling device, displaying hours, minutes, and seconds. It also incorporates a chronograph for measuring elapsed time, an alarm function, and a date indication. A key feature is its solar-powered mechanism, which means it charges by exposure to light, eliminating the need for battery replacement. The watch includes a power reserve indicator to show the current charge level, ensuring the user is aware of when charging is required.

Usage Features

Time Setting:

To set the time, the crown is pulled out to position 2 when the second hand is at 0. Rotating the crown adjusts the hour and minute hands. It's important to note that the date indication changing signifies the transition to AM. For precise time setting, the hands should be moved slightly past the desired time and then rotated back. Once set, the crown is pushed back to position 0.

Date Setting:

The date can be set by pulling the crown out to position 1 and rotating it counterclockwise. It's crucial to avoid adjusting the date between 9:00 PM and 1:00 AM to prevent incorrect changes. Date adjustments are also necessary for months with fewer than 31 days (March, May, July, October, and December).

Chronograph Usage:

The chronograph can measure events up to 12 hours in 1/5 second increments. To start a measurement, the crown is pushed in to position 0, then button A is pressed to start/stop. To reset the chronograph, button B is pressed while it is stopped. If a measurement exceeds 12 hours, the chronograph hands will stop, but the measurement continues internally. A reset is still required after such an event.

Alarm Usage:

The alarm time is set on a 12-hour basis. To set the alarm, the alarm crown is pulled out and rotated to adjust the alarm indicator hand. It's recommended to move the hand past the desired time and then back for accuracy. The alarm may sound with a slight variation (approximately ±5 minutes) from the set time, so the hand's position serves as an approximate reference. After setting, the alarm crown is pushed in. The alarm can be toggled ON/OFF by pressing the alarm crown; if set to "ON" and stopped, it will sound again within 20 minutes. To stop a sounding alarm, simply press the alarm crown. The alarm typically sounds for 20 seconds.

Power Reserve Check:

The power reserve indication hand shows the current charge level.

• Level 3 (8-7 months): Power reserve is sufficient.
• Level 2 (7-5 months): Power reserve is OK.
• Level 1 (5 months - 7 days): Power reserve is getting low.
• Level 0 (7 days or shorter): Insufficient charge warning has started, requiring immediate charging.

Maintenance Features

Solar Charging:

As a solar-powered watch, regular exposure to light is essential for its operation. The power reserve indicator helps monitor the charge level, prompting the user to charge the watch when the reserve is low.

All Reset Procedure:

In cases where the watch needs to be reset, an "All Reset" procedure is available. Before performing this, ensure the power reserve indication hand points to level 3 or 2, and the chronograph has been reset.

1. Pull the crown out to position 2 when the second hand is at 0.
2. Press and release both button B and the recessed button at the same time. This will cause the alarm to sound, the power reserve indication hand to move to level 3, and the reference position of each hand to be adjusted automatically.
3. Push the crown in to position 0. The power reserve indication hand will move back and forth, and the second hand will start moving. After an All Reset, the time, date, and alarm must be set again.

General Care:

The manual emphasizes that the actual appearance of the watch may differ from illustrations. For detailed information on using the watch's scales and bezel, users are directed to the Citizen Watch Global support website.
