However under some circumstances, the Bluetooth® connection may be lost for a very brief moment at which time the Proximity Application automatically tries to connect.

Unfortunately, this message cannot be avoided.

Proximity FAQ
21) I am notified of e-mails on my watch, but my iPhone® does not notify me until sometime later or vice versa.
22) What type of e-mail works with the Proximity
App?
23) I have a POP3 e-mail account. Will the
Proximity App work with my e-mail provider?
24) I cannot connect to Bluetooth®. I have already paired my watch to the iPhone®.
25) I cannot connect with my Proximity Watch after pairing.
26) I cannot connect with my Proximity watch.
This can be caused by timing differences between the iPhone® EMail app and the Proximity App. Your iPhone® e-mail application reaches out to (polls) your e-mail provider to see if you have any new, unread mail. The Proximity App does this same thing. However, the Apple iOS and Proximity App do so at different intervals causing this issue.
Unfortunately, the Apple e-mail app, third party e-mail apps and Proximity e-mail notifications cannot be synchronized causing this advance or delayed notice.
The Proximity Application works with IMAP e-mail services. POP3 e-mail services will not work with the Proximity App. Please check with your e-mail service provider to see if your e-mail is IMAP compatible. Some e-mail service providers provide both types of e-mail access, so this may be a setting in your e-mail account.
At this time, the Proximity App is not able to recognize POP3 type e-mail accounts. You must have an IMAP e-mail service. Some e-mail service providers provide both types of e-mail access, so this may be a setting in your e-mail account. Check with your provider.

This is the interval (frequency) in which your e-mail application and/or your Proximity App checks for new e-mail. The polling period will vary by application. Polling periods cannot be synced between applications and the Proximity App.
This is a user preference and is based on your needs.
Increased use of this feature may affect battery life.
To save power consumption, decrease the polling interval to a less frequent setting of 15 minutes or more.

While the basic watch operation will not change, the Proximity App may be updated from time to time. Due to this, a pre-printed paper manual is not available. However, if you have an active cellular or Wi-Fi connection on your iPhone®, you may link to the most recent setting instructions from within the Proximity App. You may also view and print the most recent setting instructions from a personal computer by visiting the Citizen website at www.citizenwatch.com. These instructions are listed by movement calibre. The movement calibre for your Proximity watch is
W760.

Proximity FAQ
88) How do I get the second hand to move? It is stopped at the 9:00, 10:00 or 11:00 position.
This means you had an event alert (e-mail, calendar, call or Bluetooth® link loss). Be sure you are not in the calendar (CAL), chronograph (CHR) or zero position(>0<’) modes.
Then, press and hold either button for two seconds to clear an alert, then release. Your second hand will resume normal operation.
89) I got an e-mail notification, then got a call. The second hand moved to the 11:00 position (CALL) rather than staying at the 10:00 position (MAIL).
Why does this happen?
The alert feature is based on the ‘last event’ detected by the Proximity App. The second hand will move to the last event detected by the app.
90) Do I have to be connected to Wi-Fi for my
Proximity watch and App to function?
91) Do I have to have a cellular connection for my Proximity watch and App to function?
92) Do I have to turn the app off at night?
93) Why am I not getting any e-mail notifications?
94) What is the difference between ‘TME’ and ‘CT’ modes? After the phone has been paired, they seem to have the same functionality. Should I leave my watch in ‘TME’ or ‘CT’ mode for day-to-day use?
A Wi-Fi connection is not required. The Proximity watch and App communicate via Bluetooth® 4.0 wireless technology featured on the iPhone®5 and iPhone® 4S.
A cellular connection is needed only for the Call alert feature as without a cellular connection, a call cannot be received. A Wi-Fi or Cellular connection is needed to receive e-mail alerts.
We recommend that you close the Proximity App when not in use. As with any other App, when the App is running, it may place a drain on your iPhone® resources.
Be sure you have an active Bluetooth® connection between your watch and iPhone®, and that you have setup your IMAP e-mail account in the Proximity
App v2.0.
Be sure that the E-mail Alert preference is turned
‘ON’, for both e-mail alerts and the desired IMAP e-mail account for which you wish to be notified.
The ‘TME’ or time mode is for setting or during every day wear to show the time on your Proximity watch.
The ‘CT’ or connect mode is used when reconnecting a previously paired iPhone®. In ‘CT’ mode, the time will be displayed on your Proximity watch as normal.

Proximity FAQ
95) Why does my iPhone® frequently lose Bluetooth® connection to my watch when I put the iPhone® in my pocket?
Bluetooth® signals may become blocked when the iPhone® or your watch is obstructed. This can happen when the phone is placed in a back pocket, when your watch is covered with your arm or hand, etc.
96) Is it possible to pair Proximity to an Android or
Windows Phone device?
97) Is it possible to pair Proximity to another iOS device, for example iPad® or iPod® Touch?
98) If I lose my iPhone®, does this cause an issue when I get a new one on insurance because it’s still paired to the old iPhone®?
99) Why is my watch out of synch with the atomic clock? I am synced to my phone time and I thought cellular time was radio controlled.
At this time, the Proximity watch with movement calibre W760 is connectable to the iPhone® 5 and iPhone® 4S only.
The Proximity App can be installed only to a compatible iPhone®. As such, the Proximity watch can be paired to a compatible iPhone® only.
After downloading and installing the Proximity App to your new compatible iPhone®, you would simply need to pair your watch with your new iPhone® 5 or iPhone® 4S.
The time on your cellular phone is dependent on the time transmitted by your cellular provider. This is a question that only your cellular provider can answer.
100) Will I receive notifications on my watch if my iPhone® is turned off?
Your compatible iPhone® must be turned ‘ON’ and there must be an active Bluetooth® connection between your watch and iPhone®. When your iPhone® is turned off, in airplane mode, or the
Bluetooth® feature is turned off on your iPhone®, a
Bluetooth® connection is not possible.
101) Will I receive notifications on my watch if my iPhone® is in airplane mode?
Your compatible iPhone® must be turned ‘ON’ and there must be an active Bluetooth® connection between your Proximity watch and iPhone®. When your iPhone® is turned ‘OFF’, in airplane mode, or the Bluetooth® feature is turned ‘OFF’ on your iPhone®, a Bluetooth® connection is not possible.
102) I am seeing a message "Citizen Proximity App" cannot be installed on this device. What does this mean?
The Proximity App checks for Bluetooth® 4.0 technology upon installation. This technology is featured on the iPhone® 5 and iPhone® 4S. Other iOS devices may also have this technology, but the app is designed to install on the iPhone® 5 and iPhone® 4S only.
page 19 of 33
103) What is the last event notification?
Proximity FAQ
With an active Bluetooth® connection between your
Proximity watch and iPhone®, your Proximity watch will reflect the last event received from the
Proximity App.
If the last event was an e-mail or calendar event, the second hand will be at the 10:00 position.
104) Why do I have to enter e-mail information into the Proximity App v2.0? I already have this information in the Apple® e-mail app or another e-mail app.
If the last event received from the Proximity App, was a call the second hand will be at the 11:00 position, etc.
The Proximity App v2.0 is not able to interact with the built in Apple® e-mail client or any third party e-mail app that may be available. For this reason, you must set up e-mail information within the
Proximity App.
105) I don't see my e-mail service provider listed in the Proximity App v2.0.
106) What information do I need to set up my
"Other" IMAP e-mail?
Google® Gmail®, Yahoo Mail® and AOL® mail are built in to the Proximity App.
Other IMAP e-mail providers are compatible using the “Other” category. Be sure to check with your e-mail provider for your IMAP server and port information.
From your e-mail service provider you will need your e-mail account user name, your password, your IMAP server and server port.
107) Where do I find IMAP server and server port information?
As this is specific to your e-mail provider, your e-mail provider will be able to get you this information to you.
108) My iPhone® is set to automatic time updating, but my watch does not update.
Be sure you have an active Bluetooth® connection between your watch and iPhone® and that the
‘time/date sync’ feature is turned ‘ON’ in the
Proximity App.
109) My leap year setting is not right on my
Proximity watch, but I am syncing to my iPhone®.
Ensure the date is set correctly on your iPhone®. For optimum syncing, be sure the time and date option on your iPhone® settings is set to ‘automatic’.
page 20 of 33
Proximity FAQ
110) I have time sync set to ON. Will the date and leap year be set as well?
With an active Bluetooth® connection between your watch and iPhone® and the time/date sync feature is turned ‘ON’, the time and perpetual calendar function on your watch will be updated to that of your iPhone®.
111) What if I don't have IMAP e-mail? Can I still use the e-mail alert feature?
The Proximity App v2.0 e-mail alert feature will interact only with an IMAP type e-mail account. You can still use other features of the Proximity App and watch. App v2.5 and Firmware v2.5 changes this.
112) How do I know if I have an active Bluetooth® connection between my watch and iPhone®?
The quickest way to make this determination is to refer to the hand at the 2:00 sub dial on your Proximity watch. If the hand is pointing between
1:00 and 4:00, you have an active Bluetooth® connection with your iPhone®.
You may also open the Proximity App on your iPhone®. If ‘Proximity Connect’ is shown and set to ‘ON’, you have an active Bluetooth® connection with your watch. If this is turned off and/or reflects
SCAN, you do not have an active Bluetooth® connection.
113) I have multiple e-mail accounts. How do I determine for which account an e-mail notification has occurred?
114) Will my watch automatically adjust for daylight savings time?
The Proximity App cannot determine from which e-mail account a new e-mail has arrived. You will need to determine this through the e-mail application through which you read your e-mails.
If you have an active Bluetooth® connection between your watch and iPhone®, and you have Automatic
Time Sync turned ‘ON’ in the Proximity App,
Automatic Time updating turned ‘ON’ in your iPhone® along with an active cellular connection, your watch will update with the time on your iPhone®.
If the previously mentioned circumstances do not exist, you will need to manually adjust your
Proximity watch for daylight savings time.

Proximity FAQ
117) What is the difference between ‘Connected’ and
‘Paired’?
Pairing is the creation of a new connection between two devices to establish a new relationship between them.
Connected means that previously paired devices are communicating with each other via a Bluetooth® connection.
118) Can other devices interfere with the Bluetooth® signal?
119) I own two Proximity watches and two compatible iPhones®. I try to pair both at the same time, but the Proximity watch will sometimes pair with the “wrong” iPhone®. How do I ensure each
Proximity watch is paired to the “correct” iPhone®?
120) Will the day of the week show when I have an active Bluetooth® connection with my Proximity watch and iPhone?
121) How can I determine the power reserve level of my Proximity watch?
122) When my Bluetooth® headset is connected and I use the iPhone® search feature, the sound is heard through my Bluetooth® headset instead of the iPhone. Why?
Bluetooth® wireless technology shares the 2.4 GHz band with other household devices such as cordless telephones and wireless networks (Wi-Fi), as well as some baby monitors and microwave ovens.
This is a very unusual event, but may happen when trying to pair multiple Proximity watches and iPhones® at the same time.
Be sure that only one Proximity watch and one iPhone® is being paired at any given time. There is no method for the Proximity watch or iPhone® to determine a pairing priority.
The watch will only display the day of week only when in CAL (calendar) mode. When in the CAL
(calendar) mode, the second hand will show the current month. The hand at the 2:00 sub dial will indicate the day of week set in memory.
When in TME, LTM, CT, PR and DCT modes, the hand at the 2:00 sub dial will show the stored energy level:
Bluetooth® Connected: The hand at the 2:00 sub dial will show between 1:00 and 4:00 depending on the energy level. The closer to 1:00, the higher the stored energy.
No Bluetooth® connection: The hand at the 2:00 sub dial will show between 6:00 and 9:00, depending on the charge level. The closer to 9:00, the higher the stored energy.
Your Bluetooth® headset is set to receive all sounds from your iPhone. You will need to disconnect your
Bluetooth® headset in order to hear sounds on your iPhone.

Proximity FAQ
123) I am trying to turn Schedule Alert “ON” in the
Proximity App, but it is grayed out and won’t allow me to change the setting. Why?
This is due to the new privacy settings in iOS 6.
When first installing the Proximity App you are asked if you want to allow the Proximity App to access your calendar. If you answer no and then later decide you want to use Schedule Notification or have upgraded to iOS 6 from iOS 5, a Privacy setting in iOS 6 needs to be adjusted: o
Tap on the ‘Settings’ app on your iPhone®.
o
Scroll to and tap on ‘Privacy’.
o
Tap on ‘Calendars’.
o
Change the setting for Cal. W760 from ‘OFF’ to
‘ON’.
o
Return to your iPhone® main screen by pressing and releasing the home button on you iPhone®.
o
Tap on the Proximity App.
o
Be sure you have an active Bluetooth® connection with your Proximity Watch.
o
Scroll to Schedule Alert and change the setting from ‘OFF’ to ‘ON’.
o
Return to your iPhone® main screen by pressing and releasing the home button on you iPhone®.
124) I have schedule alert set to on in the
Proximity App, have an active calendar event with the alert turned ‘ON’ and set to sound at the time of the event. However, I did not receive an alert on my iPhone® or my Proximity watch. Why?
125) How can I get the day of week to be indicated and the second hand operating normally at the same time?
This can occur when changing time zones. Be sure the alert in the Calendar app is scheduled to trigger the notification in the time zone for which you wish the alert to sound.
This is not possible. The day of week will only be indicated when the watch is in the calendar (CAL) mode. While in calendar mode, the second hand is stationary indicating the current month and leap year setting.
The second hand indicates the seconds only in TME,
LTM, CT, PR and DCT modes. In these modes the second hand will also serve as an indicator hand for various alerts and functions.

Proximity FAQ
126) I am trying to set up my iCloud e-mail account through the “other”, but keep getting a message
“cannot get mail. user name or password cannot be verified”. I have verified the information I am entering is correct. What am I doing wrong?
When setting up an iCloud account in the Proximity
App, be sure you enter only the part of your e-mail preceding the “@icloud.com”. As an example for an e-mail such as “[email protected]”, the correct entries would be:
User Name = myicloudaccount
Password = your secret password
Description - any description you choose
IMAP Server = imap.mail.me.com
Server Port = 993
If your iCloud account ends in “me.com”, such as [email protected], you would include the
@me.com. Example:
User Name = [email protected]
Password = your secret password
Description - any description you choose
IMAP Server = imap.mail.me.com
Server Port = 993
127) I am trying to set up an “other” type of IMAP e-mail address for my company Microsoft Exchange
Server IMAP, but keep getting a message “cannot get mail. user name or password cannot be verified”.
I have verified the information I am entering is correct. What am I doing wrong?
The Proximity App does not support interaction with
Microsoft Exchange server emails. The Microsoft
Exchange Server communicates via the MAPI email format (messaging application programming interface). The Proximity App will only work with IMAP email clients (internet message access protocol).
128) I am trying to set up an “other” type of IMAP e-mail address for my company Microsoft Exchange
Server IMAP, but keep getting a message “cannot get mail. user name or password cannot be verified”.
I have verified the information I am entering is correct. What am I doing wrong?
Some IMAP email services use port 143 in addition to port 993. Enter port 143 and try again.

Proximity FAQ
130) Some of the new Bluetooth® watches entering the market do not need an App to interface with the iPhone® or Android®. Why does Proximity need an
App?
The Proximity watch uses Bluetooth® 4.0 low energy technology (BLE) which draws very little power to communicate with a device. To integrate with a device such as the iPhone® via this technology, requires the use of an App to communicate with the operating system of the device.
Another technology, Bluetooth® MAP technology
(message access profile) is also used to integrate productes directly to devices without the use of an app. However, this technology requires significantly more power to function. Due to this high power requirement, it cannot be used to interface with our
Proximity watch.
131) I typically leave the Proximity App running all the time. I notice when I put my iPhone® in airplane mode, I have to open the App and turn “SCAN” to
“ON” before I can reconnect. Why?
When the Bluetooth® radio is turned off, the SCAN feature of the Proximity App is automatically turned to “OFF” as a connection is not possible. This generally occurs under the following conditions:
A) The iPhone® is powered off (hard or soft reset)
B) The Bluetooth® radio is powered off through settings on the iPhone
C) Airplane mode is activated (turned ON) on the iPhone®
132) Will Proximity work with iOS7 and higher?
If your Proximity watch was manufactured July 2013 forward, your Proximity will integrate with iOS7 or higher. Your serial number will begin with “371” indicating July 2013 forward production.
If your Proximity watch was manufactured prior to July 2013, the firmware in your Proximity watch will need to be updated to the version 2.5 to be compatible with iOS7.
This is a free upgrade. Please contact your nearest
Authorized Service team for additional information and to arrange free pickup up of your timepiece. page 28 of 33
Proximity FAQ
133) Must I upgrade the firmware in my Proximity watch?
If you continue to use iOS5 or iOS6, firmware upgrading is not required to maintain Bluetooth® functionality.
134) If I send my watch in to upgrade the firmware to version 2.5, will I have to send my watch back again?
If you upgrade to iOS7 or higher, or purchase a new iPhone® with iOS7 or higher installed, the firmware in your Proximity watch must be upgraded to maintain Bluetooth® functionality between your watch and iPhone.
Even if you choose not to upgrade the firmware in your Proximity watch, only the Bluetooth® functionality is affected. Other features such as the time, chronograph and calendar will operate.
Yes, but only on additional time. There are two free firmware upgrades currently in development.
You do not need to send your watch in for both upgrades, only one or the other.
Firmware Version 2.0 (released January,2014)
This version builds upon firmware version 1.1 and adds firmware updating through the Bluetooth® connection through the Proximity App.
This firmware is compatible with iOS5, iOS6 and iOS7.
This firmware version prepares your Proximity watch for self upgrading to firmware version 2.5
Firmware version 2.5 (released March, 10, 2014)
This version requires your iPhone® to be running on
iOS7 or higher and builds upon firmware version
2.0 adding:
SMS, Facebook and Twitter notifications
Email notification for all email types entered in the Apple Email App built into the iPhone.
These notifications are activated/deactivated right through the iOS7 or higher Notification center.
If you upgraded to firmware version 2.0, this upgrade can be achieved between the Bluetooth® connection through the Proximity App v2.5.
If you skipped firmware version 2.0, you will need to send your watch to Citizen for firmware upgrading.
page 29 of 33
135) What is new in firmware v2.0?
Proximity FAQ
Firmware v2.0 prepares your Proximity watch for future firmware updates via the Bluetooth® connection and the updated Proximity App released in March 2014. It also prevents “double pairing” of the Proximity watch and iPhone.
136) Is firmware v2.0 compatible with iOS5, iOS6 and iOS7?
137) What is new in App v2.0 (released January 2015)?
Yes, firmware v2.0 is compatible with iOS5, iOS6 and iOS7. Please note that to take advantage of the Bluetooth® firmware updating feature that was released March 2014 (firmware v2.5 with
App v2.5), your iPhone® must be running iOS7 or higher. Firmware v2.0 can be updated through the Bluetooth® connection and App v2.5 (released
March 2014)
Functionally, you will notice no differences in the
App but there are some minor behind the scenes enhancements. The difference you may notice is on the main screen of the App, you will see a “firmware version” at the bottom of the App screen when there is an active Bluetooth® connection between your Proximity watch and iPhone®.
138) Are there any different processes to be aware of with Firmware v2.0 and Firmware v2.5?
Yes, there is a procedural change associated with the watch when changing iPhones, using multiple iPhones, restoring your phone or if you delete the
Proximity Bluetooth® device from the iPhone® settings. With firmware v2.0 forward you will need to delete the pairing information from the watch itself as well as the iPhone®. To delete the pairing information from the Proximity watch: o
Pull the crown out one ‘click’ and rotate the crown to change the operating mode to “TME” as indicated by the 6:00 sub dial hand.
o
Push the crown in one ‘click’ to the closed position next to the case. Wait 5 seconds.
(continued on the next page) page 30 of 33
Proximity FAQ
138) (continued from previous page) Are there any different processes to be aware of with Firmware v2.0 and v2.5?
(continued from previous page)
o
Press and hold the upper right button for 7 to 8 seconds, until you see the second hand make a full rotation. Pairing information is now deleted from the watch. (Please be aware that if you delete the pairing information from your Proximity watch, you must delete the Bluetooth® Proximity device from you iPhone® (if not already done). Otherwise, pairing and/or reconnecting will not be successful.
o
You may now pair your Proximity watch with your iPhone® as normal. After pairing, be sure to return to “TME” mode for day to day use. “PR” or
Pair mode should be used only when pairing your
Proximity watch with your iPhone®.
Please refer to the guide starting at page 35 139) I have firmware v2.0 installed in my Proximity watch. How do I upgrade to firmware v2.5?
140) Is there a user guide for Proximity App v2.5?
Please refer to the guide starting at page 38
141) I am trying to use the “iPhone® Search” feature with iOS7 or higher and Proximity App version 2.5 but the iPhone® does not make any sound.
142) I have App v2.5 and the Facebook® App installed on my iPhone but do not get any notifications.
143) I have Proximity App v2.5 installed as well as the Facebook® and Facebook Messenger® apps. I only want to receive notifications for the Facebook® App.
144) I have Proximity App v2.5 installed and am receiving Proximity Notifications as I read emails, but there are no new emails received. Why?
If the volume on your iPhone® is low or on “mute”, there will be no sound emitted. Be sure your volume is turned up on your iPhone® and it is in
Bluetooth range of your Proximity watch.
Be sure the option to receive Facebook® notifications is activated in your Proximity App.
Additionally, be sure your iPhone® Notification settings allow Facebook® activity.
If both the Facebook® and Facebook Messenger®
Apps are installed, notifications for Facebook
Messenger® take precidence in iOS7 and higher.
There is no way to only receive notifications for
Facebook® only if Facebook Messenger® App is installed.
If there are more than 5 unread emails in an email
“inbox” in the iOS Mail App, Proximity may receive
“duplicate” notifications as emails are opened and marked as “read”. This will occur until the number of unread emails is less than 5. This is due to the how iOS Notification Center is updated within iOS7 and higher. page 31 of 33
Proximity FAQ
145) I have Proximity App v2.5 installed and do not receive Proximity Notificatons in the iOS message
App. Why?
Be sure you have Notification preferences enabled in both the Proximity App and iOS Notification
Center for messages.
If you have an active Message “conversation”, a
Proximity notification will not be generated. This is because during a “conversation” with the iOS
Message App being actively used, iOS does not issue a “notification” to the Notification Center, only an alert (tone and/or vibration depending on iPhone® settings).
146) I have a third party email and messaging App installed. I have Proximity notifications enabled, as well as iOS Notification Center enabled for these
Apps. Why don’t I receive notifications?
Proximity is not compatible with third party
Apps other than the official Facebook®, Facebook
Mesenger® and Twitter® Apps issued from the companies themselves.
147) I have Proximity App v2.5 installed and I do not receive Proximity Notifications for Facebook®,
Facebook Messenger® and Twitter®. Why?
You must have the official Facebook®, Facebook
Messenger® and Twitter® Apps installed. Third party apps will not integrate with Proximity.
In addition to having notification preferences set in both the Proximity App and iOS Notification
Center, there are notification preferences that must be set in the Facebook®, Facebook Messenger® and
Twitter® Apps.
148) I have Proximity firmware v2.0 and am trying to self-update to firmware v2.5 but get a message to contact Citizen. Why?
Typically, this occurs when there is an active
Bluetooth® connection between your Proximity watch and iPhone® through App v1.x.
When self-updating from firmware v2.0 to v2.5, be sure to delete Proximity App v1.x as well as any
Proximity Bluetooth® device(s) on your iPhone® before using Proximity App v2.5 to update your firmware. page 32 of 33
Proximity FAQ
149) Can I use Proximity App v1.x and v2.5 at the same time?
Running different versions of the Proximity App concurrently will cause your Proximity watch to not properly communicate with your iPhone®. It is important to only install and use the proper App for your firmware version.
If your Proximity watch features firmware v1.0,
1.1 or 2.0, you will need to use App v1.2 to unlock
Bluetooth® functionality.
If you are self-updating your firmware v2.0 to v2.5, be sure to delete App v1.2 first. Then download App v2.5 and update from within App v2.5.
If your Proximity watch features firmware v2.5, you must use only Proximity App v2.5 or higher.
