Solar-Powered Watch Handling Precautions
<Try to keep the watch charged at all times>
Please note that if you frequently wear long sleeves, the watch can easily become
insufficiently charged because of being hidden and not exposed to light. Try to keep the
watch charged particularly during the winter.
CAUTION Charging Precautions
· Allowing the watch to reach high temperatures during charging can cause discoloration or
deformation of external components or a malfunction of the components of the
movement.
Avoid charging the watch at high temperatures (about 60°C/140°F or higher).
Examples:
· Charging by placing the watch too close to a light source that may become hot such as
an incandescent lamp or halogen lamp
· Charging by placing the watch on an automobile dashboard that can easily reach a
high temperature.
· When charging the watch with an incandescent lamp, halogen lamp or other light source
that may reach a high temperature, always make sure to place the watch at least 50 cm (20
in) away from the light source to prevent the watch from reaching a high temperature.

WARNING Handling of Secondary Battery
· Never attempt to remove the secondary battery from the watch.
· If the secondary battery must unavoidably be removed, store it out of the reach of
small children to prevent accidental swallowing.
· If the secondary battery should happen to be swallowed, consult a physician
immediately and seek medical attention.
· Have the secondary battery replaced by an authorized service center if it becomes
necessary to replace the secondary battery.
14. Replacing the Secondary Battery
· Although the secondary battery is not required to be replaced as a general rule, there
may rarely be times when the secondary battery does not charge properly. If a problem
should happen to occur, promptly have the secondary battery replaced by an authorized
service center.
